One of the most powerful politicians in Russia has declared that Democrat President Joe Biden “is a terrorist.” The Speaker of the Russian parliament Vyacheslav Volodin issued a fiery response after a report by veteran American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh blamed the U.S. federal government for sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines last year.
In response, Russia is calling for a special session of the UN security council.
Meanwhile, the German AfD party wants a parliamentary investigation into the allegations.
Volodin called the purported U.S. government sabotage of Nord Stream “an act of intimidation of its vassals, who decided to develop their economy in the interests of their own citizens.”
He demanded an international investigation to “bring Biden and his accomplices to justice.”
The nations affected by this “terrorist attack” must be paid compensation, Volodin declared.
The AfD (Alternative for Germany) party has called a special session of the German Bundestag (parliament) on the charges for Friday.
Seymour Hersh is one of the most renowned investigative journalists in the United States.
Hersh revealed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, receiving a Pulitzer Prize in 1970.
He also reported that the CIA was involved in Watergate in 1974, and broke the Abu Ghraib scandal in Iraq in 2004.
On Wednesday, Hersh posted a story on his substack claiming that the U.S. Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipelines on September 26 last year.
“It shouldn’t be necessary to do this, but for those wondering, I can confirm this is indeed an article by Seymour Hersh, with whom I’ve been in touch during the preparation of this article,” jounalist Matt Taibbi wrote on Twitter.

Can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the White House was responsible for, but strongly denied? Besides, you know, that little "mass surveillance" kerfuffle. pic.twitter.com/AF1GyO2cmB

“Last June, Navy divers (from the U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center), operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning,” Hersh writes.
Now we know why Nuland was so "gratified":
