当地时间2月17日,针对美国记者西摩·赫什(Seymour Hersh)发表的“北溪”天然气管道调查报道,多次在欧洲议会上发表正义之声的议员米克·华莱士(Mick Wallace),怒斥欧盟唯美国马首是瞻,迟迟不肯就新证据展开调查。↓

17日,华莱士在社交媒体上分享了这段发言视频,并写道:
“当‘北溪’管道被破坏时,(欧盟委员会主席)冯德莱恩表示会有'最强烈的回应'。记者西摩·赫什刚表示是美国炸的,但欧盟在乎吗?你们问过美国了吗?还是你们过于唯命是从,根本不敢问呢?”
视频中,华莱士指出,美国知名调查记者西摩·赫什最近发布了一份调查报告,详尽叙述了根据拜登总统的命令,美国在挪威的帮助下炸毁了“北溪”管道。
他表示,这是一起“针对欧洲关键基础设施的蓄谋已久的恐怖袭击行为”。这同时也是“环境恐怖主义(environmental terrorism)”。
“This was a premeditated terrorist attack on European critical infrastructure. It was also environmental terrorism.”
接下来,华莱士质问欧盟为何对此无动于衷:“(然而)欧盟在乎吗?难道无需知道幕后黑手是谁吗?(美国调查记者)赫什说了是美国干的。你们问过美国了吗? 你们问过是他们干的了吗?你们还会问美国任何问题吗?”
“Does the EU care? Do you need to know who did it? Hersh says the US did it. Did you ask them? Did you ask them did they do it? Or do you ask them questions anymore?”
最后,华莱士怒斥道:“我们怎么变得如此卑躬屈膝了?欧盟怎么变得对美国如此惟命是从了?甚至都不敢去问问美国,到底是不是他们干的!”
“Have we become so subservient? Has the EU become so subservient to US Empire that you can’t even ask them if they did it?”
在这条发言视频的评论区,有不少外国网友感谢华莱士再次说出大实话:
“绝对的传奇人物。在这个再也没有一个议员或政客说真话的日子里,这伙计把真相一而再再而三地展示给所有人,根本不在乎会惹恼谁。我们需要更多这样的人。”
回顾:美调查记者爆料美国策划炸毁“北溪”管道
据新华社此前报道,美国知名记者西摩·赫什爆料说,由俄罗斯经波罗的海向欧洲输送天然气的“北溪”管道遭遇爆炸,是美国军方在总统拜登授意下实施的。
赫什在其发表的博客文章中援引知情人士的话说,2021年12月,美国总统国家安全事务助理沙利文主持召开一次会议,与会者是新成立的应对“俄罗斯即将侵略乌克兰”跨部门工作组成员,他们来自美军参谋长联席会议、中央情报局、国务院等部门。沙利文意在让与会者制定破坏“北溪-1”“北溪-2”管道的计划。
按照赫什的说法,2022年6月,北约举行“波罗的海行动”年度军事演习期间,美海军潜水员在“北溪”管道上安放远程遥控炸弹。同年9月26日,挪威军机投下声呐浮标引爆炸弹,破坏了“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”四条管线中的三条。
赫什是资深调查记者,曾供职于《纽约时报》和《纽约人》周刊,因报道美军在越南战争中制造美莱村屠杀获得1970年普利策新闻奖,他还曾曝光美军在伊拉克阿布格里卜监狱虐囚丑闻。
然而,对赫什的爆料,美国白宫和挪威外交部均予以否认,丹麦首相府、国防部和司法部则表示“无可奉告”。

In an article published in February, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh revealed that the United States partnered with Norway in a top-secret operation in June 2022 to plant remotely triggered explosives that took out three of the four Nord Stream pipes three months later.
俄外长呼吁外媒调查北溪管道爆炸的细节,我外交部回应
据新华社报道,2月15日,俄外长拉夫罗夫在与外国驻俄媒体负责人举行工作会晤时说,自去年9月以来,瑞典和丹麦方面一直没有回应俄总理米舒斯京关于“北溪”天然气管道爆炸的信件。拉夫罗夫认为这种“无礼”的无视行为反映出以美国为首的西方试图掩盖自己对破坏天然气管道应负的责任。
拉夫罗夫还表示,“北溪”天然气管道被炸被视为“德国天然气问题的最终解决方案”,其目的是防止德国陷入“能源舒适区”,不让德国发挥独立自主的作用。他强调,“北溪”事件非常符合美国所倡导的秩序,“美国并不在乎其他国家,也不在乎盟友将面临什么困难”。
2月16日,外交部发言人汪文斌主持例行记者会。有记者提问,俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫昨天呼吁外国媒体调查美国记者赫什关于“北溪”管道爆炸的信息的细节。赫什本人也指出,美国媒体对他的调查鲜有报道,中方对此有何评论?
汪文斌称,“北溪”天然气管线是重大跨国基础设施,其爆炸事件对全球能源市场和全球生态环境产生重大负面影响,也引发国际社会对重大跨国基础设施安全的关切和忧虑。对这一爆炸事件开展客观、公正、专业的调查并追究有关责任十分必要。
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday that it is necessary to conduct objective, impartial and professional investigations into the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines and hold those responsible to account.
汪文斌指出,“北溪”天然气管线爆炸事件发生之初,我们注意到,美西方媒体的报道一度铺天盖地,一边倒地猜测所谓“肇事者”。但当美国调查记者赫什的最新详细调查报告出台,那些一贯标榜自由专业公正的媒体却陷入“集体失语”。我们也注意到赫什写道:在他1972年—1979年期间担任《纽约时报》调查记者时,《纽约时报》刊登了他所写的一切,即便不是全部,大部分也都刊发在了头版;《华盛顿邮报》作为他职业生涯忠实的反对者,也在20多年前长篇刊文描述了他,而现在这些媒体没有一家写过一句关于管线事件的话,甚至都没有引用白宫对他报道事件的否认。
Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily press briefing, in response to the call from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for foreign media to look into the details about the explosions, which were disclosed by U.S. journalist Seymour Hersh.
Referring to the pipelines as vital cross-border infrastructure projects, Wang said the explosions have had a serious negative impact on the global energy market and ecological environment, while also sparking concerns from the international community about the security of major cross-border infrastructure.
Wang said that immediately after the explosions, a blaze of news reporting by U.S. and other Western media was almost overwhelmingly devoted to one-sided speculations on the alleged perpetrator. When the latest report based on the detailed investigations by Hersh was published, those media outlets boasting freedom, professionalism and fairness, were collectively silent, he added.
Wang cited Hersh as saying that from 1972 to 1979, when Hersh was working for the New York Times as an investigative reporter, the newspaper published everything he wrote, with most of his work, if not all, appearing on the front page. The Washington Post also followed his career and ran a long magazine article about him more than two decades ago. Neither paper has up to now published a word about his pipeline story, not even to quote the White House's denial of Hersh's reporting.
汪文斌反问称,我们要问的是,难道那些媒体真的不关心“北溪”管线爆炸案的真相吗?还是另有什么隐情?他们想知道什么?又想隐瞒什么?我想,真正的客观、公正、专业媒体都会追求事实真相。
"Do these Western media really not care about the truth behind the Nord Stream blast? Or is something else going on? What exactly do they know? Is there anything they are trying to hide? I suppose any truly objective, impartial and professional media will want to seek out the truth,"Wang said.
