I think this obvious, comical, and amateur false story put out by US "intel" agencies is a clear admission that the US was behind the nord stream attack.

I was 98% sure before this fake explanation, but now I'm 100% sure.

Laughable bullshit. If anything, they're talking about the CIA -- which is the US.

It was not the Ukrainian Navy. It was the J6 insurrectionists.

"The Taliban was taken down by a proxy force with connections to the Northern Alliance, according to the unnamed official."

See, journalism is easy.

There is no doubt that the lying corrupt Obiden Administration was totally in on this, if not the orchestrator! Obiden bragged about it in a press conference before it happened.

And it only took a month after the Hersh revelations to come up with this stupid-ass cover story?

We're seriously supposed to believe that some shadowy "pro-Ukrainian elements" (so totally not connected in any way with the US Navy and/or the regime in Kiev) just waltzed out into the Baltic Sea (aka "the Sixth Fleet's Private Lake") and committed an act of war and nobody noticed.

Do they seriously think we're this stupid?

This sounds like something the Babylon Bee would come up with!

The US needed an unfalsifiable legal fig leaf, however implausible, that its vassal nations could pretend to believe. But why didn’t the neocons have one ready to deploy when Hersch published? Did they really not think this one through? Or is this desultory, month-late explanation yet another way of showing contempt for world opinion?

I didn’t know the Ukrainians were sophisticated enough to have Navy Seals . . . Especially being landlocked.

I’m surprised they didn’t name Trump and white Christian nationalists as the funding sources - that would complete the trifecta!

Is it just me, or when you hear the term "Ukrainian Navy" do you visualize something closer to "McHale's Navy"?

They’re not even good liars anymore.

Well, finally, the USA gets something for our $113 Billion given to Ukraine -- We get to blame their frogmen for blowing up the Nord stream pipeline. It takes some of the suspicion off of us, while giving the Ukranian Navy credit for something that was waay beyond their abilities.

It's intended to demoralize us, as Solzhenitsyn pointed out. Our overlords know that there's nothing we can do about their obvious lies, so it's part of their keeping us in "learned helplessness".
