It's infrastructure that Germany and the Netherlands funded. Why doesn't it matter?

Not clarifying the curbs is the entire point. Biden wants to reduce US investment into China in aggregate and doesn't care where that happens. The "totally tight and totally limited" curbs are just a cover that Biden is using to justify his policy.

"Sanctions" indeed

Maybe the US will actually make a statement condemning the attack then?

It's fair to be critical of Hersh's use of anonymous sources, but it was those same anonymous sources that enabled him to cover the so-called "weapons of mass destruction" and "nuclear materials" used to justify the invasion of Iraq. It's not like this article is coming from a journalistic non-entity. Hersh has a pretty stellar record as far as journalism uncovering government corruption.

He's been considered crazy after pretty much every article he has written.

Evidence of heinous acts by government typically doesn't surface until years later.

Didn't German and Dutch companies fund Nordstream 2? "Russia's pipeline" indeed.

Seymour Hersh is an award-winning journalist who's well-known for uncovering rampant government corruption. His record includes coverage of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Saudi support for al-Qaeda leading up to 9/11, and the so-called "weapons of mass destruction" and "nuclear materials" used to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Is this the same genocide that's not recognized by any Muslim country?

Oil lobby makes whatever claim it takes to make more profit

The other reply to this post provides a pretty legitimate source.

But, well, it's not exactly hard to Google.

It's not that different in price, though: the Aussie one is 5k, while this is 10k.
