Retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal, who formerly led all the U.S. forces in Afghanistan, suggested in leaked video that the United States perpetrated the Nord Stream pipeline bombing.

The leaked video obtained by Valuetainment Media shows McChrystal, best known for heading the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) during the Iraq War, having an off-record conversation about Russia.

"There's no obvious better solution than Russia. I think Putin ought to go, but there's nobody that I'm aware of standing on the wings," the general began in the short clip.
