Retired Four-Star General McChrystal Claims Nord Stream Pipeline Bombing was Perpetrated by the United States
2023-07-23
[Gateway] Retired four-star General Stanley A. McChrystal, who was removed from his command by Barack Obama following critical comments on his administration, has made explosive comments suggesting that the United States was behind the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, in a covertly recorded conversation obtained by Valuetainment Media.

The decorated general, known for his command of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the mid-2000s and later for his role as Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, voiced these speculations during a seemingly impromptu conversation that was secretly recorded and subsequently leaked.
Speculations. Does he actually know more than we do here?
The clip begins with McChrystal discussing Russia and its leadership.

#9   Ukraine probably did it. The US could have done it, but, I bet Ukraine did it and I don't blame them for it. If they could they'd be OK to explode all of Russia.

The Hersch idea has been struck down by researchers, what he said did not happen, the vessels were not there for it according to these OSINT type researchers. A Finland professor also proved his ideas could not have happened.

#7  ^ As one or another of our professional cynics here opined on this matter, if USMIL was involved, there would have been 5-6 "I was there" books out by now.

#6  Certainly the US is on the short list of suspects, but in an era where private individuals build submersibles it is a long, long list of 'maybe they did it' suspects.

#5  TW, if he DOES know more it is undoubtedly classified so his comments would be criminal.

#4  Now I'm begining to suspect that the US didn't do it.

#2  ....who was removed from his command by Barack Obama

I'd reckon his credibility is well established.
