So the US government is now claiming that, no, it wasn’t them plus the Norwegians, it was actually the Ukrainians? And they’re really doubling down on this?

This would mean the US has sent nearly $100 billion to aid a country which attacked a NATO ally.

No, this article is not based on claims by the US government. It’s based on claims by people who do not represent the government about the US government.

> And they’re really doubling down on this?

Well, no, they aren’t making the claim at all, so claiming they are doubling down are doubly wrong.

The NATO ally I’m referring to is Germany.

The Nord Stream pipelines are majority owned by Russia and the attacks happened in international waters.

And the pipelines feed Germany, the NATO ally.
