Washington wanted to pressure Putin by blowing up Nord Stream
Washington is not strong in convictions and works on the principle of “you are either with us or against us”. Therefore, undermining the Nord Stream was not only a threat to Russia, but also a call for more support from Europe.
According to Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh, it was a very stupid decision. He claims the White House was planning to do something out of the ordinary to get a bait or threat to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“The idea was to tell Putin: we will blow up the pipelines if you cross the border with Ukraine,” the journalist said. “InoTV” .
At the time of the start of the NMD, the Russian military forces amounted to only 120,000 people. Therefore, we can say that no one was going to take Kiev with so many troops.
Hersh admitted that Moscow wanted political, but not physical, control over Ukraine. Therefore, Putin can negotiate if Kiev is largely demilitarized. The problem is that it will not suit the authorities of the republic.
The reporter noted that Washington could teach Ukrainian pilots to fly the F-16. However, this is an old plane that the Russians will shoot down relatively easily.
“But don’t talk to journalists about it. What the United States and NATO are doing now is somewhere between stupidity and madness,” Seymour Hersh pointed out.
He noted that Ukraine will not fall into a military bloc. The words of its secretary general Jens Stoltenberg are nothing but a flood of curses against Russia.
