The freelance Ukrainian-sponsored attack version has the virtue of being completely logical
Vladimir Putin has his story, and he’s sticking to it: the destruction of three of the four Gazprom-owned Nord Stream pipelines on September 26, 2022 was the work of the American government. Speaking to reporters in Siberia last week, Putin insisted that the Nord Stream attacks had been carried out on a “state level” and dismissed as “sheer nonsense” a slew of recent stories pointing the finger at a group of freelance Ukrainian-backed divers operating off a small hired yacht.
But reported facts have been stacking up against Putin’s version of events. Earlier this month, the New York Times published a detailed investigation that suggested that the blasts were, in fact, carried out by a handful of freelance divers using commercial explosives and backed by a shadowy Ukrainian individual apparently unconnected to the Zelensky government.
Smoke and mirrors. Putin or the New York Times? Neither can be considered a reliable source.
I believe the USA was behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
To admit to it would be a political nightmare potentially ending support for Ukraine and likely rattling NATO.
So let’s make up a narrative about a not-connected to anyone oligarch and his very own saboteurs acting entirely alone.
Follow the money.
