Former President Donald Trump has suggested that the Biden administration may have been behind the Nord Stream bombing, which occurred on September 26, 2022, off the coast of Denmark. Speaking to Glenn Beck on Saturday, Trump said, “The one group it wasn’t is Russia.” He then went on to say that it could have been the US, Ukraine, or another third-party country that wanted to cause trouble. Trump disputed the suggestion that Russia was responsible, stating that the Nord Stream pipeline was a significant source of income for Russia and they wouldn’t have destroyed it.
Trump discussed who may have been behind the Nord Stream pipeline destruction, saying:
“Well, it could have been us, and it could have been Ukraine, and it could have been some third-party country that wants to see trouble”
“The one group it wasn’t is Russia… This is a main source of massive income for them. They didn’t blow it up to make a point. That’s the one thing I can tell you for sure,” adding, “everything gets blamed on Russia. These people are sick,”
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has claimed that US Navy divers, working under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted remotely triggered explosives that destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.
While hinting about who may have blown up the Nordstream pipeline, Trump also hinted at the possibility that the US may have been working in conjunction with Ukraine to target the pipelines. He asserted that the US has given Ukraine over $150 billion, and Europe has given them almost nothing. Trump warned that this conflict could lead to World War 3 and emphasized that it is a war that should never have happened.
Trump told Beck:
“We’re gonna end up in World War 3”,
“This is a war that should never have happened. I used to speak to Putin about it. I got along with him well. I was tougher on Russia than anybody else. I ended their pipeline. I sanctioned them, And yet I still got along with Putin. That’s a trick,”
“The saddest thing about this war is it never should’ve happened… Now you have to get people in room and you have to knock heads, and you have to get it done. That would mean saying things to Putin and Zelensky that they’re not going to want to hear.”
He revealed that he used to speak to Putin about the issue and that he was tougher on Russia than any other president. He added that he ended their pipeline and sanctioned them, but he still got along with Putin. Trump emphasized that getting people in a room and knocking heads together is the only way to end this war, even if it means saying things that Putin and Zelensky won’t want to hear.
