Seymour Hersh came out and put together a fairly convincing argument. The guy who was right about checks notes: The My Lai Massacre Watergate Torture at Abu Ghraib Domestic Spying The secret bombing of Cambodia. But then people come out and go "nonono don't look at that, it was definitely these two guys on a yatch". https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the...

To be fair he went a bit off the rails in his later years, but he does seem to have a credible source for at least one of the pipeline explosions. Also he is far from the only one offering a convincing line of reasoning, another good thinker on various issues I can recommend is eugyppius.com. Very sharp mind and very well read.

How’d he do on the Novichok poisoning of Sergei Skripal?

It is indeed sad how Hersh started out so strongly and went so bizarrely off the rails in his later years. I want to believe it was a natural progression, that having seen the great evils the US was capable of, he start to see US evil everywhere he looked, and was easily taken in by people with a story that appealed to his priors. But I don't know, he so studiously avoids so many things that indicate Russian malfeasance that it's hard not to wonder if its more than just hope the pattern will hold up. The US is as shady as the day is long, and I wouldn't put this past them if it made any sense, but if you know anything outside of Hersh's article, it doesn't. I fully believe the US is doing much shadier stuff elsewhere, but the article doesn't make a good case. https://newpol.org/the-nord-stream-pipeline-explosions-challenging-false-narratives-2/ https://newpol.org/the-nord-stream-pipeline-explosions-chall...
