That pipeline is also likely pumping from Israel’s Leviathon gas field in the Mediterranean. That means that the Jew haters in the Nazi rat party can stick it to both Israeli and Russian Jews.

Just because Trump wanted to end it, doesn’t mean it was the the right policy.

I contend it was NOT.

“the more trade there is between two nations, the less chance there is of warfare.”
Yes.

Logically, this shows there’s no justification for NATO.
But Europe wants NATO too.

“That’s their decision to make”

Whether they want NATO or Russian gas.

And I agree they should make it.

Um, you mean other than preventing us from shipping copious amounts of LNG to Germany?

Biden’s ending fracking will result in natural gas shortages here. Won’t be any to ship to Germany.

Like everyone who disputes Trump you make the mistake of ignoring the basics.
NATO requires no Nordsteam.

Sure, end NATO and this is fine, but the PTB want to keep NATO.

“Like everyone who disputes Trump you make the mistake of ignoring the basics.”

The “basics” are that the US has no interest in whether there is a pipeline between Russia and Germany.

None.

And if the pipeline causes the disintegration of NATO, even better.

Seriously.
Address the real world- where Nordstream and NATO are both maintained.
Maybe China is picking off parts of the EU.
Germany being the plum.

"Russian is not our enemy"

So why did Putin show a video of Florida being nuked by a Russian hypersonic missile?

How soon people forgot the energy trade deals with eastern Europe and various Baltic states that began as early as the spring of 2017. The Biden regime's interference is going to cut us back out of market share and swing the dominant advantage back to Russia.

Fair enough. It’s best to think for yourself. I’ll admit that I never studied, nor thought through the issue very deeply before.

Meanwhile, Trump certainly treated Canadian pipelines more fairly than his predecessor and successor. That made me predisposed to agree with Trump’s pipeline policies in general.

“Yeah, I’m trying to figure out whose palms are being greased.”

Hunter and Burisma. The latter is a gas company connected to the alternative pipeline business to which NS2 is a competition.
