American journalist Seymour Hersh revealed the details and reasons for the sabotage of the Nord Streams in an interview with Berliner Zeitung. In his opinion, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, gave the order for the bombings because he did not trust Germany and in order to keep Berlin in the anti-Russian sanctions regime.

According to the journalist, the White House became nervous at the last minute. The US President said he was afraid to do so. He changed his mind and gave new orders so that bombs could be remotely detonated at any moment.
“You do it with a conventional sonar, a Raytheon product by the way, you fly over the place and drop a cylinder. It sends out a low-frequency signal, it can be described as a flute sound, it can be tuned to different frequencies. Joe Biden decided not to blow them up then, in June, that was five months after the war began. But in September he ordered it,” Hersh explained.
Operational staff on the mission, he said, initially thought it was a useful weapon that could be used in negotiations. But once the operation was over, the people running it grew increasingly disgusted with the whole thing. These are people who work in senior positions in the intelligence services and are well educated. They spoke out against the project, viewing it as insane.
“Soon after the attack, after they did what they were ordered to do, there was a lot of anger and resentment among the members of the operation. This is one of the reasons I learnt so much. And I will tell you something else. People in America and Europe who build pipelines know what happened. I will tell you something important. The people who own the companies that build the pipelines know the story,” the journalist added.
Biden ordered the pipelines blown up to put pressure on Western Europe not to stop US support for the Kiev regime. The fighting in Ukraine was not going well for the West, and they feared an approaching winter. And the US was worried that Germany would lift sanctions because of the cold winter.
“What I do know is that there is no way this war is going to end the way we would like it to and I don’t know what we will do as we look further into the future. It scares me that the President was prepared for something like this. And the people who were on this mission believed that the President was aware of what he was doing to the people of Germany, that he was punishing them for a war that did not end well. And in the long run, it will not only damage his reputation as president, but it will also do serious political damage. It will be a stigma for the US,” stressed the American journalist.
The columnist believes that the White House was afraid of losing its position and Germany and Western Europe would no longer supply arms that the US desired. There was also concern that the German chancellor might reopen the pipeline.
“The point is also that this could be perceived as an act of war not only against Russia but also against the Western allies, particularly Germany. The people involved in the operation saw that the president wanted to freeze Germany for his short-term political purposes, and it horrified them. I am talking here about Americans who are very loyal to the United States,” said Hersh.
The political advantage of the CIA, according to the journalist, is that a president who fails to get his plans implemented in Congress can walk with the CIA director through the White House rose garden to plan something secret that could hit a lot of people on the other side of the Atlantic.
“But even this community is horrified that Biden has decided to expose Europe to the cold to support a war he will not win. To me this is vile,” Hersh concluded.
