Finally, someone is getting the word out that the emperor is an Alpha Draconis reptilian trying to suppress the truth of the Japanese people's descent from the KamiRyujin divine cosmic star dragon. The Trump White Hat Dream Team is about to blow the lid off this whole thing!
So...that's a really detailed report from a respected Pulitzer winning journalist which has way too many words for Russian disinformation (the more details you add, the more opportunities for someone to debunk one of them and blunt the impact of the whole thing). But the thing that sticks with me are these lines:Vanguard wrote:The USA absolutely did destroy the Russian pipeline and anyone who seriously believes it was a false flag attack the Russians made against themselves is an NPC. I don't like saying stuff like that, but in this case it's simply the truth. The fact that a bunch of white house spooks got together to claim that journalist Seymour Hersh's explanation of what happened "has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation" is enough to tell me that his explanation is dead on accurate. Article here for anyone interested.
Everyone involved understood the stakes. “This is not kiddie stuff,” the source said. If the attack were traceable to the United States, “It’s an act of war.”
I know there was potentially a fuckton of money and geopolitical negotiating power at stake, but why would you do something that utterly reckless against a belligerent nuclear power? Especially when you'd already shuttered the pipeline? This isn't paying off Guatemalan civilian militias to attack Honduras. This would have been fucking with wealthy central European economies who were already deeply skeptical of US political reliability, and risking making Russia look sympathetic at a time of growing global authoritarianism.Throughout “all of this scheming,” the source said, “some working guys in the CIA and the State Department were saying, ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.’”
