Retired four-star General Stanley A. McChrystal, who was removed
from his command by Barack Obama following critical comments on his
administration, has made explosive comments suggesting that the
United States was behind the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, in a
covertly recorded conversation obtained by Valuetainment
Media.
The decorated general, known for his command of the Joint
Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the mid-2000s and later for
his role as Commander of the International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, voiced these speculations during a
seemingly impromptu conversation that was secretly recorded and
subsequently leaked.
The clip begins with McChrystal discussing Russia and its
leadership.
Theres no obvious better solution than Russia. I think Putin
ought to go, but theres nobody that Im aware of standing on the
wings, the general said.
In the short conversation, a man is heard asking McChrystal for
his opinion on the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline that took
place earlier last year.
McChrystals response implied that he and his son, who worked at
the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), didnt believe the Russians
or the Ukrainians were responsible, as many had initially
suspected.
Instead, he proposed that the bombing might have been in the
interests of global natural gas producers the United States being
chief among them.
My son is the leader of the in energy team at DIA, said
McChrystal.
He didnt think that the Russians did it He didnt think that the
Ukrainians did it either, he added.
There are people who benefited from it, and that was people who
produced natural gas around the world, said McChrystal.
He then dropped a bombshell, implying a potential U.S. role in
the attack.
So if you really want to get conspiracies, the United States
made more money off that deal than anybody else. But yeah, but
thats because we were huge beneficiaries, and we changed our
policy. We started providing liquid natural gas overseas and, you
know, he said.
Iranian-American entrepreneur and podcaster Patrick Bet-David
reached out to General McChrystal for a comment but has not heard
