Interesting and most telling how US officials have effectively confirmed the precise MO that Hersh stated wrt the NordStream sabotage.
Incredible how forgiving people are wrt the Ukraine war experts who have a track record of constantly being wrong.

Powell admitting what's been known for years, namely the US economy is in trouble:

Washington will stand by Ukraine right up until the point that they decide to throw them under the bus.
Russia stated that due to what happened in the Bryansk region of their country, Moscow launched a massive retaliatory strike overnight across all of Ukraine.
