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.
