"It never made sense that Russia would shoot themselves in the foot... And now Sy Hersh has come out with this story... laying out in great detail how we did it, who did it... the meetings... explosives... divers."
#2 @DavidSacks discusses Biden, Nuland, and Blinken's Nordstream statements:
"The admin telegraphed what they were going to do. They had the capability to do it. They had the motive to do it... Whose story makes more sense? Probably Sy Hersh's."
#3 @DavidSacks on the Biden admin escalating war between nuclear superpowers:
"If we did it, it's an incredibly provocative act. It's basically an act of war against a country that has thousands of nuclear weapons... It's a very scary situation here."
#5 @Jason: "Wouldn't Germany see it as a hostile act?"
@chamath: "You have to tell Germany that it's going to happen. I think that the quid pro quo with Germany is some amount of guaranteed supply of [LNG] that the US directs into Europe."

An airborne U.S. Customs and Border Protection DHC-8 captured the object on an infrared video.
#3 The DCH-8 used a state-of-the-art Wescam MX-15D thermal imaging system.
