Nordstream bombing. Seymour Hersh investigated it and claims both Biden and Stoltenberg played deciding role in it.
Seymour Hersh may not always get things right. He seems to have been mistaken about the Syrian gas attack, for example:
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017/06/25/will-get-fooled-seymour-hersh-welt-khan-sheikhoun-chemical-attack/
And his Nord Stream story is hard to corroborate given its dependence on an anonymous source:
https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/02/10/hersh-nord-stream-sabotage/
This isn’t to say he’s wrong, but since there is just one anonymous source we don’t really know he’s right either.
