“I’m curious why the US, specifically Biden, had any say about Nordstream 2.”

President Trump made it an issue, because it was as plain as day, that it’s resulting energy dependence could be a weapon that Russia could use against NATO. Putin has been doing just that with former Soviet States for years - it is regular practice each Winter.

Why pay to defend Germany from Russia, when they willingly make themselves vulnerable, and Russia richer and stronger?

Biden withdrew American opposition. Seems that the world may already be starting to pay the price.

Thanks.

I was curious if there was some actual veto power, that we had.

Can definitely agree with you.

Paying the price.. Maybe just an honest 10% for the big guy.??
