Several Europeans are calling for an investigation of the destruction of Nord Stream in the wake of Seymour Hersh’s account of the attack. Hersh presented a compelling account, but it didn’t include facts. However, most people suspect the US and the attack was an attack on Europe’s fuel source.
This fervor could escalate. So far, the people complaining are not key politicians. Most European leaders don’t want to dredge the attack up for fear of repercussions.
If Team Biden did do this, the repercussions would be devastating. Let’s hope it’s not true.
The Response
The AfD
The Alternative for Germany Party (AfD) demands an investigation of Seymour Hersh’s article, and if it’s found to be accurate, he wants US troops out of Germany.
The AfD Co-chairman Tino Chrupalla said in the German Bundestag, “As the American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh claims to have learned from a source involved in the operational planning, the United States of America is said to have planned the demolition of Nord Stream and carried it out jointly with Norway.”
“The Pulitzer Prize winner’s suspicions must be investigated,” Chrupalla continued.
“Has NATO’s leading power carried out an attack on our country’s vital critical infrastructure in European waters?” he asked. “Then one would have to question whether the alliance guarantees security in Europe or rather endangers it. The consequence would be the withdrawal of all U.S. troops.”
“This is the most serious terrorist action against our critical infrastructure since the Second World War,” he added.
An election is coming, and Scholz won’t want an investigation right now.
Chrupalla noted that the Baltic pipeline was opened almost immediately after the pipeline was blown up.

Clare Daly
Clare Daly also wants an investigation. The problem I have is everyone is lauding Seymour Hersh, but his history is not all that.
“Then along comes Seymour Hersh, the world’s most acclaimed living investigative journalist, who produced a detailed claim that the US and Norway executed the Nord Stream gas explosion. And I find it jaw-dropping that the EU is still not asking questions.” pic.twitter.com/1dywcEjsTV

Mick Wallace
European MP Mick Wallace is also pushing hard for an investigation.
European MP Mick Wallace condemns USA attack on Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline:
“Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh just published a report that presents detailed claims that on President Biden’s orders, the US, with Norway’s help, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.”… https://t.co/R0yw9eN7pd pic.twitter.com/hl6ekuj7Pd

Russia wants an investigation.

Europe and even NATO is looking for an exit in Ukraine. It didn’t go as planned and Russia is steamrolling Ukraine. Russia uses the mindset that war is about killing your enemy, grind them down until they capitulate. Russia is stacking up dead Ukrainians like cordwood.
Stoltenburg is now admitting this was not necessarily an “unprovoked invasion”….Germany states it was the US that blew up the pipelines….which BTW is an ‘Act of War’. There are actually four Nordstream pipelines, three are damaged but the fourth is intact. Germany will in fact be getting Russian gas once again when this war ends.
China is now saying they may start supplying Russia with weapons. This is possibly the greatest foreign policy blunder in US history….and that is a high bar considering the atomic bombing of Japan citizens, the war in Vietnam, the illegal war in Iraq and the complete debacle of getting chased out of Afghanistan with our tail between our legs. The world is growing weary of our meddling.
The voices of discontent are growing ever louder. Did whoever is responsible for this think it could be swept under the rug? Nothing to see here, business as usual? When is enough, enough?
One thing is certain. If the Biden administration was involved in the attack, it could have very serious consequences for the future including for key military installations in Europe.
The EU may not like what it finds. I know the Deep State won’t like being fingered.
