A couple of months ago, #SeymourHersch published an article on substack relying on one anonymous source claiming the US had blown up the #Nordstream pipeline. Most major USian media, including NPR, have not covered it. A few weeks after, a report surfaced that intelligence reviewed by senior officials (unnamed) showed a pro-Ukrainian group had done it. This was covered by most national media. What do you think?

@Brad_Rosenheim your poll does not cover all options.
I believe the Hersh article has been thoroughly debunked, almost to the point that I wonder if the US fed him a bunch of BS specifically to discredit the otherwise obvious idea that we were behind it. So no, I don’t think he needs any more ink.
However, I think it’s still an open question who was. I have yet to find anything that convinces me to a degree of reasonable certainty.
The intel report tells us less than you’d think. The perpetrators were pro-Ukrainian almost by definition— but who WERE they? Who knew about them, who was funding them, what information did they have access to. The intel report doesn’t even know what country they were from. Not much to argue about there.
