September 26, 2022: Four massive explosions destroy Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines under the Baltic Sea. Seismographs register 2.3 magnitude blasts. Largest methane release in history. Western media says Russia did it—Putin blew up his own $20 billion pipelines. But that makes no sense. Russia could have just turned off the gas. So who did it? February 2023: Seymour Hersh publishes detailed report claiming US Navy divers planted C4 explosives during June 2022 BALTOPS exercises. Jeffrey Sachs says: I believe him. This was an act of war by the United States against Russia.
In this episode, economist Jeffrey Sachs explains what happened on September 26, 2022, why the "Russia did it" narrative makes no sense, why Biden's February 7, 2022 promise "we will end Nord Stream 2" was a threat, how Seymour Hersh's report details the operation, why official investigations were shut down, and why this sabotage is an act of war that changes everything.

September 26, 2022: Four explosions destroy Nord Stream 1 & 2
Seismographs detect magnitude 2.3 underwater blasts (70-80 meters deep)
Largest methane release in history (400,000 tons)
Nord Stream 1 (operational since 2011): 35% of Europe's gas supply
Nord Stream 2 (completed 2021): Never certified by Germany
$20 billion investment destroyed
Cui bono? Who benefits?
Russia theory: "Putin blew up his own pipelines" (Western narrative)
Why Russia theory makes NO sense:
Russia could just turn off valve (already reduced flow to 20%)
Nord Stream 2 was future leverage (why destroy it?)
Lost $20B asset permanently
Ukraine theory: Had motive (lost transit fees) but NO capability
Deep-sea operation 70-80m down (advanced diving, explosives)
Ukraine navy virtually nonexistent
US theory: Motive, means, opportunity
February 7, 2022: Biden press conference
"If Russia invades, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."
Reporter: "But it's in Germany's control?"
Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do it."
June 2022: BALTOPS 22 exercises
US Navy underwater demolition drills
Exact location: Bornholm Island (where pipelines destroyed)
US statement: "Experimentation with new underwater explosive techniques"
Seymour Hersh report (February 2023):
Pulitzer Prize winner, exposed My Lai, Abu Ghraib
Source: Direct knowledge of operation
Decision: Biden + small national security group (late 2021)
Execution: CIA + Pentagon planned
June 2022: US Navy divers planted C4 during BALTOPS
September 26: Norwegian aircraft dropped sonar buoy (detonation signal)
Mainstream media dismissal: "Unverified, single source"
No alternative explanation offered
Official investigations shut down:
Sweden: Found "gross sabotage," military-grade explosives, closed investigation (Feb 2023)
Denmark: Same, sealed findings
Germany: Ongoing, no results released
March 2023: NYT "pro-Ukrainian yacht" story (absurd cover-up)
Deep-sea demolition from rented yacht? No naval support?
Most surveilled waters in Europe?
Act of war against Russia:
Destroying critical infrastructure = act of war
Russia knows, chooses restraint (nuclear war risk)
Environmental catastrophe: 400,000 tons methane (80x worse than CO2)
Economic cost: Germany paying 2-3x for energy, industry struggling
Who benefits? US LNG exporters
US now Europe's largest gas supplier
American companies profit billions
Betrayal of Germany: US ally, NATO member, economic interests destroyed
Germany silent (dependent on US security)
NATO = US makes decisions, allies comply
Pattern of evidence:
Biden Feb 7 threat
BALTOPS June exercises (exact location)
Explosions September 26
Hersh report (50-year track record)
Investigations shut down
No independent inquiry allowed
Infrastructure warfare: Pipelines, cables, power grids now targets
Crossing red line, no going back
Russia could retaliate (undersea internet cables, Middle East energy)
Proxy war reality: US not innocent bystander, active participant
"We're playing with fire, eventually we'll get burned"
