Why is the pipeline any of our business?
Here....I’ll let RPOTUS explain....
The Trump administration fears the pipeline will tighten Russia’s grip over Europe’s energy supply and reduce its own share of the lucrative European market for American liquefied natural gas.

EU agrees tighter rules for Russian pipeline
President Trump has said the 1,225km (760-mile) pipeline, owned by Russia’s Gazprom, could turn Germany into a “hostage of Russia”.
The US sanctions have angered Russia and the European Union, which says it should be able to decide its own energy policies.
And, this...
...For years, Democrats and their cable-news echo chamber spread ludicrous rumors about former President Donald Trump being an agent of Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin. The irony is that Trump, when it came to substantive policy, took a very hawkish line against Moscow — moves his Democratic successor is now busy undoing.
He shored up missile defense in Central and Eastern Europe; stood strongly with America’s allies in the region, and unilaterally withdrew the US from bilateral and multilateral accords, such as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, that buttressed Russia, which refused to comply with their terms.
Most notably, Trump adamantly tried to block construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a nearly completed, but stalled, 764-mile natural-gas pipeline connecting Russia with Germany via the Baltic Sea. Nord Stream 2 is an indispensable tool for a Russian Federation seeking to extend its energy domination of the Continent and circumvent Ukraine as an energy transit station.
But Biden’s Washington won’t oppose the pipeline.
So why can’t we simply produce the energy, and supply Europe, if the damn greenies would just get out of the way, we can drill enough for ourselves and any of our allies that need it and reduce dependency on Russia.
