McChrystal, who was removed from his command by Barack Obama following critical comments on his administration, has made explosive comments suggesting that the United States was behind the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, in a covertly recorded conversation obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ValuetainmentTV\/status\/1682134130513920004\">Valuetainment Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The decorated general, known for his command of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the mid-2000s and later for his role as Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, voiced these speculations during a seemingly impromptu conversation that was secretly recorded and subsequently leaked.<\/p>\n<p>The clip begins with McChrystal discussing Russia and its leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no obvious better solution than Russia. I think Putin ought to go, but there\u2019s nobody that I\u2019m aware of standing on the wings,\u201d the general said.<\/p>\n<p>In the short conversation, a man is heard asking McChrystal for his opinion on the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline that took place earlier last year.<\/p>\n<p>McChrystal\u2019s response implied that he and his son, who worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), didn\u2019t believe the Russians or the Ukrainians were responsible, as many had initially suspected.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he proposed that the bombing might have been in the interests of global natural gas producers \u2013 the United States being chief among them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son is the leader of the in energy team at DIA,\u201d said McChrystal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t think that the Russians did it\u2026 He didn\u2019t think that the Ukrainians did it either,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people who benefited from it, and that was people who produced natural gas around the world,\u201d said McChrystal.<\/p>\n<p>He then dropped a bombshell, implying a potential U.S. role in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you really want to get conspiracies, the United States made more money off that deal than anybody else. But yeah, but that\u2019s because we were huge beneficiaries, and we changed our policy. We started providing liquid natural gas overseas and, you know,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian-American entrepreneur and podcaster Patrick Bet-David reached out to General McChrystal for a comment but has not heard back.<\/p>\n<p>PBD discussed this new revelation from the four-star general on his show.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Footage obtained by Valuetainment captures General Stan McChrystal (Ret.) confirming neither Russia or Ukraine blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;United States made more money off that deal than anybody else.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FF9x16B4Rz\">pic.twitter.com\/FF9x16B4Rz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Valuetainment Media (@ValuetainmentTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ValuetainmentTV\/status\/1682134130513920004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/07\/leaked-footage-retired-four-star-general-mcchrystal-claims\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To discover who was responsible for a crime, look for who would benefit the most.
