The cold wind is blowing, but the ruins of the Nord Stream pipelines are still lonely at the bottom of the Baltic Sea。More than a year has passed, and the truth of this sensational pipeline incident is still full of fog, and speculation in the international community has never stopped.
A few days ago, Hersh, a well-known American journalist, disclosed in a secret article that the behind-the-scenes of this incident is very likely to be the United States**, or even Biden himself!The article discloses in detail how the United States deployed, how to install ** devices on the pipeline, and how it was finally detonated, which is shocking.
This makes the outside world wonder what motive the United States has to pay such a huge price to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines?What is the game of interests?And how will this incident end in the end?
Back in February 2022, Russia-Ukraine relations were plunged into unprecedented tensions. With the strong support of the United States and other Western countries, Ukraine has publicly stated that it wants to join NATO, and Russia is angry about this. In March, Western intelligence agencies obtained terrifying intelligence that the Russian army would launch a full-scale attack on Ukraine within 72 hours!
At this moment, the crisis alarm in the White House sounded wildly. Biden held a security meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures with the national security team. The C.I.A.'s chief of staff for European affairs advised: We must find a way to stop Putin's actions, or the consequences will be dire. The most effective way is to threaten to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines and directly hit the economic lifeline of Russia!
Biden pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: "That's it."
Over the next few days, a mysterious special service team, in cooperation with NATO intelligence and the Norwegian authorities, quietly infiltrated the North Sea to carry out their "sacred" mission. At the end of May, the battle plan had already taken shape, and all that was waiting was the final approval of **. However, surprisingly, in a more game, Biden temporarily changed his mind and shelved the action!
When it was time to get started, it was the end of September. In a conference room in the White House, Biden discussed the plan again with his aides. At this time, there are only 100 kilometers left before the completion of Nord Stream 2, and pipelines 3 and 4 are about to be completed. Biden finally made up his mind and signed the order.
A few days later, the bomb load, equipped with a timed trigger device, was firmly connected to the seabed at key points in the pipeline。A NATO sonar buoy released low-frequency pulses that could penetrate hundreds of meters underwater to the target area, and the crisp echo echoed in the deep sea After a loud "boom", thick smoke enveloped the wreckage of the pipeline, and the three pipelines were dead entangled, stirring up layers of huge waves.
40 billion euros turned into a blister, and Europe's largest natural gas supplier collapsed. And in the White House, thousands of miles away, ** was silent.
So, what is the real motive of the United States in doing this?Hersh analyzes in the article that Biden's target is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. For a long time, the United States has been worried that Germany's Russian policy is too moderate, and has tried every means to make Germany's attitude tougher.
The Nord Stream pipelines are where the main differences between the United States and Germany on the Russian issue lie. Once the Nord Stream pipelines are completed and operational, cheap Russian gas will flood the German market in large quantities, which is bound to weaken Germany's determination to fully support Ukraine.
Therefore, the United States simply did not do anything and directly blew up the pipeline, forcing Germany to bear the consequences together with the common people, can only honestly support the American line. At this point, Biden and his staff can be said to have dealt a ruthless hand.
Now, despite the inside story revealed by American journalists, the United States is still silent. They know all too well that admitting sanctions is tantamount to a declaration of war and will lead to serious international disputes. So, who will this hot potato end up throwing to?
Judging from the current reports in Germany, Western countries are almost determined to blame Ukraine for the Nord Stream incident. German prosecutors are encouraging a Ukrainian officer to plead guilty in order to preconvict the predetermined conviction.
Of course, no sensible person would believe such a ridiculous statement。But Western countries have acquiesced to this statement and repeatedly played it up. No matter how much Ukraine explains and justifies, it will not be able to escape the fate of taking the blame. All this is in the calculations of Biden and other American politicians.
Coincidentally, on the same day that the US reporter broke the news, news broke that Russia had amended its constitution to not allow any territory to be ceded to other countries on "peaceful grounds." Analysts believe that this is a constitutional adjustment made by Russia in the context of the formal annexation of the four eastern regions of Ukraine and the permanent change of the national border, in order to prevent any future territorial disputes.
This undoubtedly puts an end to Russia's effective control over the eastern part of Ukraine, and is one of the most noteworthy events this winter. At present, the truth of the Nord Stream pipeline ** case has yet to be finalized by time. We can only wait and see what happens.
