Quotes from an interview of Seymore Hersh in the main German newspaper "Berliner Zeitung" -

The pipeline blew up because they were afraid of Germany withdrawing sanctions

Hersh described new details of the sabotage in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung. According to him, Biden was afraid of Germany's exit from the sanctions regime and therefore decided to do blow up the gas pipeline.
“They were afraid of the coming winter,” Hersh said. "Since the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project was suspended by Germany itself, and not by international sanctions, the United States was concerned that Germany would lift the sanctions due to winter cold."
There were major disagreements in Washington over the conduct of the operation, notes the journalist. Many participants in the covert operation, who held "high positions in the secret service", opposed this plan, "considering it insane

However, Biden would rather see Germany freeze than stop supporting Ukraine, Hersh said. "People who participated in the operation saw that the president was ready to freeze Germany in the name of his momentary political goals, and they were horrified by it."
According to the reporter, in early February 2022, Biden told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that he would "shut down" the pipeline. "However, he had no such plans at the time," Hersh said.
Why was the sabotage postponed?
The sabotage was supposed to take place in June 2022, but it was postponed at the very last moment - due to the White House being "nervous".

“But at the last moment, the White House got nervous. The president said he was afraid to do it. He changed his mind and demanded that the bomb could be detonated remotely at any time,” said the American journalist.
As a result, charges were placed on the gas pipelines in June, during NATO naval exercises in the Baltic Sea, and the decision to detonate was not made until September. Due to the explosives remaining underwater for too long, only six of the eight bombs exploded.
Hersh also explained why Norway decided to participate in the operation. According to him, Oslo wanted to increase gas supplies from Europe rather than Russian gas. Moreover, in Norway, many people in leadership positions feel hostility towards Russia.

How did the United States react to sabotage?
Hersh said many participants in the operation were against her. “Shortly after the attack, after doing as they were ordered, the participants in the operation felt a lot of anger and rejection. That's one of the reasons I learned so much,” he explained.
"It scares me that the president is ready for something like this," the reporter said. - And the people who carried out this mission believed that the president was aware of what he was doing to the German people, whom he was punishing. And in the long run, it will not only damage his reputation as president, but also cause serious political damage. It will be a stigma for the United States."

According to Hersh, even within the CIA, many were extremely unhappy with America's treatment of its ally. “Even this community is horrified that Biden has chosen to expose Europe to the cold in order to support a conflict in which he will not win. For me, it's disgusting, ”concluded the journalist.

🇷🇺 ⚔️🇺🇦 Fierce fighting continues around Artemovsk

Wagner soldiers are advancing in Paraskovievka. The enemy is trying to hold the village. After the capture of Krasnaya Gora, the successful capture of Paraskovievka will create a solid foundation for the northern claw over Artemovsk, which will subsequently build up and gradually merge with the southern arc. At the moment, attack aircraft are already gradually moving towards Orekhovo-Vasilyevka and Dubrovo-Vasilyevka.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine understands the gravity of the situation and throws new reinforcements into the furnace of war to replace the units methodically defeated in this direction of the front. In the city itself, active battles are taking place in the southwestern part of the city. Earlier it was reported that the militants forbade journalists to enter the " Airplane " area (known in honor of the monument). In the north-eastern districts of the city, our units also have some success.

Exactly a year ago, the Ukrainian regime began making artillery preparations before the final attack on Donbass!

For the week from February 17, 2022, to February 24, 2022, only in the LPR, around 551 attacks were made on 46 settlements in the Republic.
5318 rounds of ammunition of various calibers (1275 shells, 2782 mines, 29 missiles, 685 grenades, and 51 rounds) were fired in the LPR. 700–800 rounds of ammunition arrived per day. In three places, there were attempts to break through the defense.

Eight civilians became victims, of whom four died and four were severely injured.

A 150,000-strong group armed and trained by NATO was preparing to sweep away the Donbass. And if it weren’t for Russia’s decision to start a SMO, LPR and DPR would have simply been razed to the ground. And neither the UN nor the OSCE would have simply noticed this.

Seymour Hersh warned the U.S. of the colossal consequences of undermining the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines because these actions were directed against the interests of Europe. Hersh predicts dramatic consequences, up to the withdrawal of a number of countries from NATO. The bombing of the pipelines was undoubtedly a severe blow to the reputation of the U.S. in the world, as were the contrived aggressions against Iraq, the flight from Afghanistan, etc. But for Europe to respond to this direct undermining of its interests, competitiveness, and economic prospects, European leaders and their people should act as autonomous and independent entities, free from the claws of the United States. Such a Europe no longer exists. The Europe of de Gaulle and Brandt, Palme and Kekkonen belongs to the past, and its new elite is incapable of and does not seek independent action. It is no coincidence that it is silent even now, not protesting. Rather, the long-term consequences for the United States will be in the non-Western world, where the level of confidence in the United States is falling every year.

Zelensky won't have to negotiate. He will have to sign what he is told — Medvedev

"Ukraine's supreme clown has once again blurted out that he will not negotiate with the Russian president.
Not new, but there is a nuance that he was silent about yesterday, although he understands it very well.
He won't have to negotiate. He will have to sign whatever he is told to sign.
Although, frankly speaking, the price of this paper will not be high, one may recall the Minsk agreements signed by the previous carpetbagger.
Every new clown in Kiev usually cancels the legacy of his predecessor and starts his circus program all over again.
Just like Pelevin's famous work, "Empire "V," a tale of a real superhuman, where he figuratively explained who such clowns work for and who they are!"

🇺🇦🛩 The Kiev regime has lost almost all experienced pilots during the SMO!
The commander of the aviation group of PMC Wagner, with the call sign "Highlander," said that the Instagram youth mostly control the Ukrainian military aviation now. 

"There were big losses in the enemy's air force, and most of the young people there now are "Instagramers." If we have all the experienced people, they have all these young (inexperienced) people left. But in aviation, it is important to have experience in order to work well; just pulling the handle (lever) does not work here. It is important to have experience, and it only comes with time, including during combat operations. Many of our people have participated in other hot spots before, so they have experience."

WSJ: US worried about China's growing nuclear potential

The Pentagon is concerned that China now has many more ICBM launchers than the United States. With the recent addition of a strategic bomber to its military, China now has a complete nuclear triad that also includes submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

The Chinese military has also introduced technology that Washington doesn't have, a fractional orbital bombardment system. As Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, notes: “The US is not now ready to contain the growing nuclear threat of China. The current US structure was designed over twenty years ago and is based primarily on the need to contain Russia.”

To date, the US nuclear program cannot respond to changes in the geopolitical situation in a reasonable time. For example, the design phase of the future W93 / Mark 7 warhead will take at least 12 years. In addition, until 2030, the United States will not be able to develop the plutonium mines needed to make additional warheads.

"There are Polish sniper girls near Ugledar, very unpleasant people"—a fighter fighting near Ugledar recounted what he had gone through in battles in this section of the front.
 
A fighter with the call sign "Noah" fighting on the front line near Ugledar told about the war: how he had to lose friends, how the team proved itself in combat conditions, who inspired him to become a volunteer, as well as about having to confront foreign mercenaries, among whom there are women. 
 
The fighter says 👇:
"My call sign is Noah, we have been working here with the guys for a long time, 4 months now. Our team is friendly, everything is good. This is especially evident in combat conditions when you understand that there is a reliable person next to you. All the guys are mostly good, of course, it's a pity not all of us will be back home, but still, most of us are worthy of respect, worthy to call ourselves men. We lost guys, one died before my eyes, we fought for the other but did not have time to save him.
There were a lot of mercenaries, we saw blacks too, but mostly Poles and Lithuanians. The Polish sniper girls are very unpleasant people.
I have an old friend Roman, he is now mobilized, he is 44 years old, he is now fighting near Kherson. Roma, if you see, you get my regards. And I thought that if Roma is here and I have to, how can I betray my friend."
