The Biden administration is expected to drop the US's years-long opposition to a new natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany as early as today, earning swift backlash from top Republicans.

'This is a terrible mistake, it's a mistake that's opposed by both parties in Congress. It's just another example of the pathetic appeasement of Joe Biden for Vladimir Putin,' Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said on Fox News Wednesday.

On top of 'costing' American jobs, Cotton claims the move empowers Russia and 'badly undercuts our allies and partners in Eastern Europe like Poland and Ukraine, who Joe Biden is now apparently pressuring to stay silent.'

Be nice.

More likely is a Russia (et al), Turkey, Germany and various Arab states against the Anglosphere Plus.

Maybe I shouldn’t advise anyone in geopolitics…I would like to see Russia retake Constantinople for Christiandom one day :). (It could happen, just saying!)

Actually it all called a trade. US empowers China same way by trading with her. US gives China money using which China builds now its 3d air carrier. But if we stop trades then what we are left to intersect is only a war.
