The world community should reconsider its attitude towards the USA after the investigation by journalist Seymour Hersh into Washington’s involvement in undermining Nord Stream. This is what the Chinese newspaper Huanqiu says in its article.

The authors called on the international community to respond to the investigation, despite the resistance of some states.
“The details that have surfaced are chilling. For example, it is reported that Washington has been secretly planning this case since late 2021, long before the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” RIA Novosti quoted the statement as saying.
The article claims that the undermining of the gas pipelines was beneficial to the US administration as European countries were forced to make a choice “in favour of a deep tie-up with the US”.
Earlier, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh claimed that US Navy divers had planted the explosives under the Nord Streams.
He wrote in his article that the pipelines were mined during the NATO exercise BALTOPS 22 using remotely activated devices.
According to the journalist’s interlocutor, Norway provided the US with technical means to camouflage the explosive charges and helped decide when to conduct the operation.
On September 26, 2022, according to Hersh, a Norwegian Air Force P8 reconnaissance plane dropped a hydroacoustic buoy, the signal from which spread underwater, and a few hours later detonated powerful C4 explosive charges.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow was not surprised by the journalist’s conclusions that Norway was involved in these diversions.
All the facts cited should be the subject of an international investigation.
