That seems like one anonymous source for a very wide range of allegations. I hope you do not accept that as absolute fact.
Considering the only party on Earth that benefits from the sabotaging of that pipeline is the US i think it would be very hard for anyone reasonable to ignore. Hersh is also one of the few investigative journalists who has reported on things like this consistently and been correct in the past
The only point I'd push back on is that this was only in US interests. Ukraine makes a decent sum allowing Nord 1 to transit over land in their territory, money they would lose with the activation of Nord 2.
Further, regardless of whom you believe committed the act, there is evidence to suggest the targeting of Nord 1 was accidental and the actual intent was to just hit Nord 2.
You could even speculate the destruction of Nord 2 was insurance that the west wouldn't abandon Ukraine since they could no longer flip a switch and take them out of the gas equation.
Do you know what the US does? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. However, the claim is the US blew up something that didn't belong to them. That is the most ordinary claim. It is so ordinary that if something explodes and you don't know why, it would take evidence to prove we didn't do it somehow
