During the 1970s, Hersh covered the Watergate scandal for The New York Times and revealed the clandestine bombing of Cambodia. In 2004, he reported on the U.S. military's mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. He has also won two National Magazine Awards and five George Polk Awards. In 2004, he received the George Orwell Award.[7]

Looks like Hersh is losing his marbles. Sees conspiracies everywhere. Suggest you find a more reliable source.

What is your version of events?

What is your version of events?

I doubt the U.S. or NATO took it out. That leaves Russia with the capacity.

And what was their motivation?

And what was their motivation?

Why were they crazy enough to invade Ukraine?

That isn't an answer.
In the absence of the pipelines, Europe has no choice but to buy gas from the rest of the world, specifically, one of the only places with excess LNG export capacity, the US.
How does this situation benefit Russia?

Problem with that . Europe was not getting gas from Russia anyway. This did not change much.

Biden saying he’d take out Nordstream, he wasn’t the only one saying it’d be taken out.

I don't know who blew up the pipeline. It's not beyond either the USA or Russia. If you look back over time you'll see the Americans like to control their "friends" as much as they like to weaken their enemies. If America is your only friend, you have no friends.

I don’t have any idea who might have done it but after reading that story I thought that would make a good movie!

Why would Russia blow up a multi billion dollar pipeline when if they wanted to stop the flow, all they have to do is turn off a few valves. Then if relations changed for the better for them the valves could be reopened. To me it points to the USA as Biden and others have spoken of stopping the flow and then they (USA) get to sell their product for 4 X the price. Typical USA procedure, invade a country reap their resources and leave the country with nothing supposedly all in the name of Democracy. Yeh right.

I'll Try again, what was their motivation?

In Aggy's world, it makes perfect sense. Cutting off one's own infrastructure is seen as progress.
