I’m sorry, but we cannot allow our allies to become dependent on Putin for their energy supplies.
_Nobody_ in DC cares about Germans buying Russian gas. They only get mad abut Nordstream because it’s direct, Russia to Germany. Hard to get in the middle of that. DC likes it to go through Ukraine so they can get their sticky fingers on it and DC gets grifter/bribery employment for Hunter, Kerry’s and Pelosi’s sons, Romneys staffers, etc etc.
Half of DC is getting rich from Russian gas passing through Ukraine. They don’t want that gravy train to end.
