Russia: U.S. Must Comment on 'Facts' in Blockbuster Report Tying Washington to Nord Stream Attack
Russia claimed Victoria 'F*ck the EU' Nuland's earlier comment was already an admission of guilt
Maria Zakharova, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said Wednesday that the U.S. must comment on the “facts” presented in a blockbuster report that went into the detailed steps in how Washington prepared for and carried out the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines.
The U.S. State Department told The Trends Journal that the explosive report directly tying Washington to the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines is “false and complete fiction.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh reported on his Substack page that the U.S. was behind the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines and employed remotely triggered explosives to destroy them.
He reported that the explosives were planted by highly skilled divers during NATO exercises in June called BALTOPS22.
He wrote: Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal. For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible.
He wrote that the divers used trained at the U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center in rural Panama City, which he called a “hardcore diving school,” and the detonation device was dropped months later by a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane. (Read Hersh’s full article HERE)
The U.S. has blamed Russia for the attack and Russia called the accusation nonsense.
There have been few answers thus far, but comments from the Biden administration appear to lend weight to the claim that Washington played some role.
It was earlier reported that Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, text messaged Secretary of State Antony Blinken ‘It’s done’ shortly after the attacks on the Nord Stream.
Ned Price, the spokesman from the State Department, said in a statement that Russia’s “baseless accusations against the United Kingdom, and before that the United States, are just another attempt to distract from their brutal war against Ukraine.”
Kim Dotcom, a tech entrepreneur who lives in New Zealand, took to Twitter on 30 October - about a month after the attacks - to claim that the Russians learned that the UK blew up the pipelines through Truss’s iPhone message to Blinken “before anybody else knew.”
“iCloud admin access rocks!” he posted.
Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s top diplomat, said the statement from a top State Department official last month proves that Washington played a role in the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines.
Victoria Nuland, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, addressed a Sentate hearing last week and told Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, “Senator Cruz, like you, I am, and I think the administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.”
Nuland, who spearheaded the overthrow of the democratically elected president of Ukraine in 2014 and was famously caught on the phone saying “Fuck the EU,” has spoken out against Nord Stream in the past.
Nuland also once said “one way or the other” the project “will not move forward.”
Lavrov said Nuland effectively made a “confession.”
“And this is not only the direct participation of the United States in the Nord Stream explosions. Now Nuland, in fact, has made a confession,” he said.
Hersh wrote that these pipelines could make Europe less reliant on the U.S.
America’s political fears were real: Putin would now have an additional and much-needed major source of income, and Germany and the rest of Western Europe would become addicted to low-cost natural gas supplied by Russia—while diminishing European reliance on America.
FAIR, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, noted in October: : “The explosions triggered a lopsided “whodunnit” in U.S. media, with commentators almost universally fingering Russia as the culprit, despite the lack of a plausible motive. Official US opposition to the pipeline has been well-established over the years, giving Washington ample motive to destroy the pipelines, but most newsrooms uniformly suppressed this history, and attacked those who raised it.”

Trends Journal subscribers know Nuland’s history at the State Department.
Salon ran a profile on Nuland last year that expressed dismay over her appointment to such an important position in the State Department. The article was titled “WHO IS VICTORIA NULAND? A REALLY BAD IDEA AS A KEY PLAYER IN BIDEN’S FOREIGN POLICY TEAM.”
The magazine said Nuland is “stuck in the quicksand of 1950s U.S.-Russia Cold War politics and dreams of continued NATO expansion, an arms race on steroids, and further encirclement of Russia.”
Victoria Nuland is an evil woman who, with her neoCON warmonger buddies, wants to start a nuclear WW3.
