The U.S. State Department is vowing to block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline between Russia and Germany from moving forward if Russia invades Ukraine.
"I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward," spokesperson Ned Price said Wednesday.
"I'm not going to get into the specifics," he told NPR. "We will work with Germany to ensure it does not move forward."

Maybe we can finally get rid of Europe, once and for all.
Sweet! We’re going to go to WWIII against both russia AND Germany.
Interesting. The US state department has the final say on a pipeline that starts in Russia and ends in Germany and has nothing in between? And apparently these idiot checkers players don’t stop to think that the gas may not also flow through Ukraine into Germany. I actually think in their delusional world, they will manage to kill the pipeline and then be genuinely shocked when gas is not sent through Ukraine anymore for them to get their sticky fingers on and for all the DC grifters to get their hands on.
The pipe line seems to be between Russia and Germany, I don’t see what that has to do with America
Blocking Russian supply will only raise gas prices for everyone, as Europeans will either have to freeze or shop for gas elsewhere.
Pretty sure that pipeline is between Russia and Germany and the US can’t do shit about it
Indeed. Given that two ex-chancellors of Germany have encouraged the pipeline, and given that Germany's "green" energy policy has hamstrung them in terms of atomic and coal energy supplies, Germany has NO alternatives in the moment.
The pretense that the Biden administration -- corrupt Democrats, each and every one -- have anything to say about this is ludicrous. They are posturing for their American audience, not for a European one.
Freezing Germans are going to really be fans of the war in the east, again. I’ve been in Germany in the winter time, it’s pretty damn cold on a regular day. Unimaginable without a dependable gas supply.
Yeah....sure....I’m sure the Germans are gonna want to freeze to make a point for Diaper Joe......
Is this a last gasp for DC neocon lizards?
They are destroying confidence in Ukraine’s economy with their invasion talk. Even Ukraine has told them to shut-up.
Germany and France are holding talks with the Ukrainians and Russians in France - to which the USA and UK were not invited.
Germany has said it won’t be part of any NATO war in Ukraine.
They and Biden are looking increasingly isolated and ridiculous.
DC passionately hates Nord Stream two. They have no problem with Russian gas as long as it flows through Ukraine so Ukraine and the DC L nomenklatura can get handsomely paid for transit thieves and consulting work. It’s not possible for DC to get between a direct Russia-Germany pipeline. That’s why it angers them so much. It doesn’t need a middleman.
Meanwhile DC is fine with Communist China.
Does a section of that pipeline link up through Utah or something? Because I don’t recall that being the case!
I guarantee Germany will finish their deal with Russia for that gas...regardless of what Joseph Stolen says!
Is the one of the main reason for this whole thing the newly elected German Green Party wanting to back out of Nordstream 2 and ticked Putin off?
Exactly, the purpose of Ukraine, the Maidan Color "Revolution", and EU and American Globalist Oligarchs all along.
Historically, Japan, (Germany's Ally at the time), executed the Pearl Harbor sneak attack, because the US controlled the South East Asian petroleum supplies and most of the World's latex rubber supplies.
If Russia and Germany want it how are we going to stop it?
That will hurt Europe more than it will Russia. Russia can always sell their gas to China. Where do these imbeciles come from?
Correct, and that includes US consumers, just in case anyone thinks US residents won't feel the pinch.
If Brandon and the Marxist Democrats think they can screw something up Royally, it’s pretty certain they can.
“..If Russia and Germany want it how are we going to stop it?...”
From what we’ve seen of Brandon lately, he’ll either bomb it and/or sabotage it. Let’s Go Brandon!!!!
It reminds me of when Obama said, “Don’t call my bluff”
