      Nah Hersch is an old dude they'd have given him his prize a long time ago. Plus this isn't really anything without evidence to back it up. I suspect everyone who matters knows what the US did but given the way the board is positioned no one is in a position to do anything about that. If they had definitive evidence then maybe... idk, like Germany could try to buy some breathing room, but they're really in a double bind right now - If they try to turn away from the US than DC has a lot of ways to turn the screws on them starting with just slowing down gas deliveries. And Russia can't offer them any meaningful support. So they're kind of stuck.
