Seymour Hersh has published an article alleging that the US is responsible for the Nord Stream bombing. As usual, instead of pushing out a rapid response take on this, I decided to take the weekend to digest it; it is, once again, a practice that I wish more pundits were willing to follow with Ukraine. Unfortunately, I am also going to have to buck the trend of either insisting that he’s an unreliable narrator or insisting that we should believe him since he’s earned our trust; the standard critical thinking “let’s take what he says seriously and see if it can be verified” position may not win a lot of friends among partisans in this war, but it remains the only sane thing to do. That said…
