Just weeks after Seymour Hersh published his blockbuster report on the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage allegedly committed by the Biden administration to force Germany to remain committed to U.S. sanctions against Russia over Ukraine, President Joe Biden praised German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for “diversifying away from Russian energy sources.”
This praise is the equivalent to congratulating someone for losing weight while stranded on an island.
The two met in Washington on Friday.
Hersh said the Biden administration carried out the attack on the pipelines because the “fear was Europe would walk away from the war.” He said one of the most repeated claims by military officials and politicians in Washington is that NATO is somehow closer than ever, but Russian oil and gas always “scared the hell out of Washington” because it could turn Western European countries closer to Moscow.
HERSH: AIR RAID SIRENS WERE STAGED
Hersh said President Joe Biden’s thought process was likely, “I’m in a big war with Ukraine, it’s not looking good. I want to make sure I get German and West European support and I know winter’s coming…and if it’s going to be bad, I don’t want the Germans to say, ‘We’re going to check out because we’re getting massacred with no cheap fuel and our economy is going to go bonkers…We’re going to check out and we’re going to open up the gas line.’ So he took away that option.”
UKRAINE NEEDS NATO MEMBERSHIP OR NUKES: TOP OFFICIAL
Biden praised Scholz for his commitment. Thus far, Germany contributed the most money of any EU country to Ukraine, with 2.34 billion euros by last November.
Scholz explained to a conference in Germany last week that Europe’s largest economy plays an important role in European security. He said Berlin “acknowledges its responsibility for the security of Europe and the NATO alliance area, without ifs and buts.”
He said Germany’s “size, location, and economic strength has to shoulder in times like these.”
