There is no “Not many” elements that the Russians have to claim that the CIA is behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, says journalist Nicolas Carvalho. Namely, an article by an American journalist, Seymour Hersh86 years old, award winner Pulitzer in 1970 for revelations about an American war crime. Since then, his articles and investigations have been regularly contested“, continues the journalist, who explains that he has “notably denied two war crimes committed by the regime of Bachar Al-Assad, despite the evidence of various journalistic and NGO investigations”. Seymour Hersh also “respread Russian propaganda in Syria” on Russia Today.

A statement from Joe Biden

Concerning Nord Stream, he claims that it is a coup by the American army, which would have modified the route of a NATO military exercise at sea to approach the pipeline and take the opportunity to plant explosives“, explains Nicolas Carvalho. It is this hypothesis which is taken up by the Russians. Problem, Seymour Hersh bases his story on a single, anonymous source.

In other arguments in favor of an American hypothesis, a statement by Joe Biden seems threaten the pipeline. This is a press conference from February 7, 2022.which circulated a lot in the pro-Russian sphere at the time of Nord Stream“, indicates the journalist. However, the president later clarified his remarks. Conclusion : “OIt cannot be said that the United States had nothing to do with the sabotage, (…) But we can not (…) say that it is the CIA and the Americans, on the basis of a somewhat shaky American article and more or less threatening statements from Joe Biden.
