I was intending to post a comment on this sooner, but the article fell through cracks in my computer, but I have found it now, sweeping up. What to make of the claim made in the German Die Zeit newspaper that it was not the American who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, as alleged by Seymour Hersh, but the Ukrainians? Well, for a start, the story is based upon an anonymous source, and that is not a good start. And, under further analysis, it seems unlikely, given the depth of water that the pipeline was under, and the sophisticated demolition work that would have been involved. It is really just the sort of job America still does well, while it is not something on the Ukraine’s cv. Obviously the story is a smoke screen counter to the attention the Hersh article got.
