U.S. officials throw Zelensky under bus, claiming it was HE who ordered Nord Stream pipeline attack

By ethanh // 2024-08-18

The Wall Street Journal has dropped a bomb on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who approved the plan to sabotage both the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. Zelensky reportedly tried to call off the operation after launching it due to U.S. pressure, but it was already too late: the pipelines were bombed, cutting off gas deliveries between Russia and Germany, along with the rest of Europe. The incident occurred in September 2022 and was followed by a report from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in 2023 that uncovered evidence of explosives planted by U.S. Navy divers under the guise of a "NATO exercise." The bombs were ultimately detonated at the order of Joe Biden. Russian President Vladimir Putin also blamed Washington, D.C., for the bombings as the U.S. deep state has been spearheading just about everything that Ukraine does, all in opposition to Russia. According to Putin, the U.S. had the most to gain from disrupting Russian gas supplies traveling to the European Union (EU). (Related: Some corporate media outlets here in the U.S. were blaming Ukraine from the very beginning for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline.)

Is Zelensky responsible for Nord Stream bombing?

That version of events took precedent until now after the Journal told a different story that blames Ukraine directly for the attacks rather than the U.S. According to the media outlet's sources, "a handful of senior Ukrainian military officers and businessmen" gathered for drinks in May 2022 to discuss the plot. The plan was to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines in order to reduce Russia's energy revenues and reduce the EU's dependency on gas from Moscow. The operation involved the use of a small rented yacht called Andromeda which has a six-member crew trained to do the deed. The whole thing cost around $300,000 to pull off. It was Zelensky who first gave the green light to the plot, only to have the CIA call it off after learning about it. Then-Ukrainian commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny defied the CIA and went ahead with the bombing anyway, sources claim. According to reports, Zaluzhny told Zelensky that once the team was dispatched to blow up the pipelines, it was already too late to call them back because they go incommunicado and basically disappear in order to avoid being retrieved or withdrawn after the fact. Zaluzhny, who is now Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom, fully denies the fresh claims, calling Kiev's involvement in the destruction of Nord Stream a "mere provocation." The sources that fed the Journal these claims say they are corroborated by the findings of a German police investigation into the Nord Stream explosions. That report is already threatening to "upend" relations between Kiev and Berlin, the latter of which has been Ukraine's biggest backer in the EU since the start of the war with Russia in early 2022. "We now know that the U.S. has officially thrown Zelensky under a bus," a commenter at RT wrote about the situation. "He's as good as dead." "The gangsters are throwing dirt at each other," wrote another. "I wonder how long it will take until one will expose the undeniable evidence." Someone else questioned why Germany continues to deliver weapons to Kiev seeing as how it now knows about Zelensky's involvement in blowing up the pipeline that delivered gas to the German people. "They must be brain dead," this person wrote about Germany and its leaders. Another noted that by blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, Kiev and Washington prevented Germany from continuing to receive plentiful and reliable cheap gas. "The result is that German industry is collapsing." More related news about the pointless war between Ukraine and Russia can be found at Chaos.news.
