Seymour Hersh: US Was Behind Both Crimean Bridge Attacks

Zero Hedge: US Was Behind Both Crimean Bridge Attacks: Seymour Hersh 

Legendary national security journalist Seymour Hersh has published a report this week alleging US intelligence helped the Ukrainians blow up the Kerch Bridge (or also, Crimean Bridge), which happened earlier this month and corresponded to President Putin refusing to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative deal. 

What's more is that Hersh's sources described that the US assisted in the initial, larger Kerch Bridge explosion which had initially temporarily disabled it in October 2022. "The Biden administration’s role in both attacks was vital," he wrote in a Thursday Substack investigative article.

WNU Editor: What caught my eye in Seymour Hersh' post is this .... 

 .... The Biden administration’s role in both attacks was vital. “Of course it was our technology,” one American official told me. “The drone was remotely guided and half submerged—like a torpedo.” I asked if there was any thought before the bridge attack about the possibility of retaliation. “What will Putin do? We don’t think that far,” the official said. “Our national strategy is that Zelensky can do whatever he wants to do. There’s no adult supervision. 

Not thinking what the consequences will be has sadly become the hallmark on how the Biden administration conducts foreign policy. 

And as for the Zelensky regime .... 

.... At this point, with the Ukraine counteroffensive against Russia thwarted, the official said, “Zelensky has no plan, except to hang on. It’s as if he’s an orphan—a poor waif in his underwear—and we have no real idea of what Zelensky and his crowd are thinking. Ukraine is the most corrupt and dumbest government in the world, outside of Nigeria, and Biden’s support of Zelensky can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden, and not just because he was taking care of Biden’s son.”  

Calling the Zelensky government the dumbest government in the world is IMHO an understatement. 

My big worry right now is that I am hearing more and more reports from the people I trust in Ukraine that the priority of the Zelensky governmen is to convince NATO that they should get directly involved in this war by having a few select NATO countries (like Poland and the Baltics) send combat troops into Ukraine to protect certain critical regions as well as providing a certain degree of air cover. 

And if that does not work. There is a Plan B. 

Create a false flag by detonating a crude nuclear weapon and/or dirty bomb in Ukraine and blame Russia, or worse, detonating such a bomb in a major Russian city but claiming no involvement or responsibility for it.

  1. Seymour Hersh is modern day hero as far as I’m concerned. And I’m fully prepared for plan B, it really is inevitable. People say they feel bad for me for not having kids or getting married. But it’s vets like me who will have the last laugh when society falls apart, believe that.

  5. Gee Walley,

    You mean we have hundreds of millions of dollars to a group of thieves, who are selfish and dumber than dirt?

    Well, Beav, it is kind of like lending money to Eddy. You want to believe he is going to repay you, but you know he never will.

    Suckers.

  6. Mr editor is correct in this regard.

    Desperate people do desperate things to survive.

    If the Ukrainians in this offensive fail. There will be little for them to fight with. Certainly not much left if their Western trained brigades are all destroyed.

    It would be in the Ukrainian leadership's best interests to conduct whatever operation it needs to, to get NATO into the war.

    Otherwise defeat would be in their future.

  7. My gut and my sources tell me this is mostly BS. Is it the US or Ukraine who will under plan B set of A bomb as false flag and what do you base that on. You seem to support Ukraine up to a point and then dump on a duly elected president and badmouth the nation but ignore Putin as crazed leader and Russia as corrupt and failing regine. Failing? look at life expectancy for Russia. Has Russia not used false flags in Ukraine?

    If you read the article careful that is posted the US is
    behind the attack in that US drones were used. But Ukraine is using a lot of US materials and Russia, using Chinese materials.



    A Ukrainian security official has claimed Kyiv’s responsibility for an attack on the bridge linking the annexed Crimean peninsula to the Russian mainland – a vital supply line for Russia’s war effort in Ukraine and a personal project for President Vladimir Putin.
