It's probable the US and possibly Norway did it under cover of BALTOPS 22. https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the... Snopes only offers FUD but not a single contradiction or refutation of any of Sy Hersh's reporting or claims other than it boils down to "it relies on a single source". Sometimes, in secret operations, that's the reality. There exist genuine anonymous sources who cannot be revealed themselves. Part of the principle of benefit-of-the-doubt is trusting that Sy Hersh isn't merely looking for a quick payday to sellout his journalistic integrity for a few dollars and that he isn't an easily-fooled novice when it comes to doing due-diligence on sources and facts. It's mostly a disrespectful hit-piece lacking in evidence. With all likelihood, like the identity of Deep Throat, the truth will come out once the source retires and write a book about it. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/02/10/hersh-nord-stream-sab... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If it weren't Sy Hersh, this might be more believable. The guy has been putting some distance between himself and reality for over a decade now. (Could it be true? Maybe. IDK. No dog in that particular fight. But if you, as an anonymous source, go to Sy Hersh, you're an idiot or don't want large numbers of people to believe what you're saying. Occam's razor suggests the former) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
