>A fresh Wall Street Journal investigative report purports to finally provide the "real story" on the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage which happened nearly two years ago, and has since resulted in a series of seeming endless theories and speculation. After as we previously detailed Germany has issued its first arrest warrant in the case amid a lengthy investigation, the WSJ unveils a fantastical sounding tale which began among Ukrainian senior officers and businessmen over drinks one night early in the war. >The new WSJ reporting weaves a narrative that essentially focuses on a rogue general who ultimately defied efforts by President Zelensky and the CIA to reign him in. "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said," the report says. >We are told that Zelensky’s since fired commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, still moved ahead with a high risk plan funded by businessmen to the tune of $300,000 and involving a rented yacht with a six-member crew which included experienced civilian divers. . .
