Do you want to explain what you are talking about?
Dean did it better than I would do.
And why a single failure nullifies a career of generally decent reporting?
Because it was utter failure and he seems to be sliding down into rabbit hole of some kind? Also, it is one where I looked into and was really disappointed about quality of their claims. I am less familiar with their earlier work that was supposedly decent/really good.
Why do you say failure?

Who do you think blew up the pipeline?
I expect that German conclusion that pipeline was blown up by Ukrainians is correct.
I would bet on Ukrainian state - country at war with Russia, risking far less from detection/failure and far more motivated to do so. And demonstrated both capacity and willingness for some zany schemes that worked.
But I leave some space that it was someone else. But if it was USA then it was not done in way claimed by Seymour Hersh.
And Poland is still more likely than USA, if it was not Ukraine.

due to fear of torture by Pinochet, then he was a communist
you are claiming that Pinochet regime tortured solely communists, which is a false claim

Anything that could stop the conflict without getting Poland encircled.
War in Ukraine would need to go truly badly to end with Russian Germany. Or at least Russian-occupied Czech Republic and Slovakia.

because the Russians would be sitting right on the Polish border
and how it would be supposed to be changing things?
Kaliningrad is a thing, Belarus is effectively absorbed as far as military staging goes.
Elections in Ukraine are cancelled indefinitely with US State Department approval
US State Department is not adding here much, elections are suspended in accordance of Ukrainian constitution on account of having a war

to levels that their drones will be able to strike the whole country
interceptor drones are appearing on larger scale and turning out to be quite useful

Seymour Hersh claims
why you quote him given his hilarious failure on pipeline story?
is your sourcing for this post equally atrocious for other things you mention?
I would say that it hardly counts as encirclement. Maybe encircled by standards of Youtube's "Ukrainians/Russians encircled in Whatewergrod" spam.
