Betting on Ukraine victory was ‘suicidal’ – Seymour Hersh

The US and its allies should have attempted to reach an agreement with Moscow as their belief that Ukraine can win a conflict against Russia is “suicidal,” iconic American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has argued.







Speaking in a YouTube interview with the Consortium News outlet on Friday, Hersh accused the Biden administration of making “so many bad mistakes,” adding that “it’s impossible to believe just how dumb this leadership was.”


It was suicidal to think you can win that war, that Ukraine can win the war (against Russia). There’s just too much corruption. That was a very, very bad decision. We should have been pushing for peace, we should have made an agreement,” the former Pulitzer Prize winner insisted.


US President Joe Biden basically “blew off NATO in Europe” by telling allies that he is backing Ukraine with its “totally corrupt government,” Hersh added. The journalist also pointed out how Kiev glorifies Stepan Bandera, “the great pro-Nazi who killed Jews like crazy during World War II.


“It’s just silly not to right away assure the Russian government that we weren’t interested in making Ukraine a member of NATO,” Hersh stated, referring to long-standing concerns in Moscow. “NATO didn’t want Ukraine anyway because of the corruption.”


Hersh recently published a bombshell report which accused the US of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines last year. He cited an informed source as explaining that explosives were planted on the bottom of the Baltic Sea by US Navy divers under the guise of a NATO exercise back in June 2022. They were detonated in late September, rendering the pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Europe through Germany, inoperable.







US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as well as Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, are all “very hawkish,” according to the journalist. The trio “pushed Biden very hard” to go ahead with the sabotage because “they have long-standing incredible hatred for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. It’s almost personal, I would guess,” Hersh claimed.


US National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson branded Hersh’s bombshell report “utterly false and complete fiction.” The journalist has promised even more revelations on how the pipelines were blown up.



NATO chief reveals biggest risk in terms of Ukraine conflict



There are no risk-free options in terms of the conflict in Ukraine but the biggest risk of all is if Russia wins, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said, addressing the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.


"Some worry that our support to Ukraine risks triggering escalation. Let me be clear: there are no risk-free options, but the biggest risk of all is if Putin wins," he noted, adding: "This will make the world more dangerous and us more vulnerable."


The NATO secretary general highlighted the need to learn "some important lessons" from the Ukraine conflict. "First, we must sustain and step up our support to Ukraine" and "give Ukraine what they need to win," Stoltenberg pointed out.


"The second lesson is that we need to continue to strengthen our deterrence and defense," he went on to say. "The third lesson is that we need to strengthen the resilience of our societies. Military forces are necessary to protect our security but they are not sufficient. We must also secure our cyberspace, our supply chains and our infrastructure," the NATO chief stressed.







According to him, the most important lesson is that "North America and Euyrope must stand together.".



If Russia Wins in Ukraine



Jens Stoltenberg's concern was because as a result of his own decisions (NATO), he was not restoring the war situation, on the contrary it had become a real slave to the USA, a proxy war in Ukraine.


Jens Stoltenberg has been running in his own imagination, that Russia will take revenge on the Nato countries after the victory in Ukraine. If not, he said it was only to cover up his real intentions of supporting Ukraine.


So far, efforts to disinformation about the facts of the war situation that have been carried out by the West since the beginning of the war in Ukraine until now have almost been said to have failed.


They did the same thing when they were in Syria, by fabricating tragedies and events, through their scenarios (disinformation) they have managed to make most of the public believe it was true except for me, who since 2001 has seen the hidden crimes of the West.


If Russia wins in Ukraine, Russia will not be a threat to the world, instead the world order will work according to human values with dignity. And of course that will not be liked by the west (NATO), because they will lose the way to divide a country for their benefit.
