Good to see European mainstream media finally doing their job and covering Hersh's Nord Stream story. Here he is interviewed by Berliner Zeitung: "Joe Biden blew up Nord Stream because he didn't trust Germany".

The interview is very interesting, use an automatic translator:

Its not like they could really ignore it anymore when China and Russia start asking for an investigation of the terrorist attack in the United Nations.

This does remind me that there are a lot of truck drivers in China who drive oversized loads. In both cases the companies should be heavily fined for violating basic traffic safety. That said, even the worst cheapskates in China wouldn’t drive a truck load of toxic chemicals in a broken down vehicle so I guess there is some sanity there with Chinese cheapskates.

Chinese cheapskate drivers tend to be self employed, and no matter how ‘cheap’ someone is, they still always consider their own life and safety and factor that into their decision making on when the rewards no longer justify the risks. Most of the time, when they fuck up their calculations and end up causing an accident, it’s generally more down to being ignorant about just how big the risks they were taking rather than it being a conscious choice to take such huge risks.

Western drivers are almost always employees, so it’s little wonder people end up placing a higher ‘price’ on their own lives than a greedy and heartless corporation would, especially when said corporation has achieved state capture and is able to massively reduce the costs of a fuck up by literally changing the laws of the land to facilitate that.

In a statement, Norfolk Southern
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
said it was not attending Wednesday’s open house gathering with local, state and federal officials because of a “growing physical threat to our employees and members of the community around this event.”

Just get the upper management to eat fish from the creek and I will personally guarantee that no physical violence shall befall Norfolk Southern employees.
