“hostile actions” of the United States strengthened the cohesion of Russians around President Vladimir Putin, says the famous American journalist Seymour Hersh.
The publicist, the author of the investigation of Washington’s “involvement” in the undermining of the North Stream and North Stream-2 gas pipelines, said in an interview with Consortium News that the actions of the White House were really stupid. ”
“I do not welcome the start of the war. But what we did by the behavior that I describe – we gave him (Putin – Ed.) A reason for which the people supports him,” says the American investigator whose words Russian media cite.
Among the White House’s employees, “more hostile” to Russia than US President Joe Biden, the journalist mentioned “very warlike guys”: the Secretary of the State Department Anthony Blinken, Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan’s National Security Advisor.
these three – Nuland, Blinken and Sullivan – I think they pressed greatly on the president. They all have a long -standing hatred of Putin. This is something almost personal, I think, ”said Hersh.
