The Intercept might be refuting Hersh...does strongly on one key stupidity of Hersh's

[Mark Kohut]

 Die Zeit then reported
<https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2023-06/nord-stream-sabotage-pipeline-usa-ukraine-spur?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F>
 that last summer the CIA directly warned
<https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/13/us/politics/nord-stream-pipeline-ukraine-cia.html>
 Ukraine not to carry out such an attack.

Though it was not his aim, Andersson’s research directly challenges Hersh’s
details, as well as the narrative preferred by analysts who believe Russia
carried out the bombing. In short, his findings bolster the case that
Ukraine — or private actors — could be responsible for the attack. As for
his confirmation bias in favor of Hersh’s narrative, the expedition changed
his mind.

this guy's ending, where he says the US knew what Ukraine was doing
perfectly meshes with stated US foreign policy AND explained Hersh's

supposedly incriminating public expressions by the USA folks, including
Biden. 1) the US is letting Ukraine have war-managing sovereignty (yet,

are stating conditions re material sent: no long range rockets (yet) of
course so less risk of precipitous escalation.
