Biden’s decision — reached without consulting Israel, Greece or Cyprus, the main countries involved in the project — undercuts three of the strongest American allies in the Mediterranean region.
EastMed’s cancellation — an act of “appeasement” of Erdoğan — represents a major geopolitical victory for the Turkish strongman.
This guy is a disaster. Every day sets a new low.
Why are pipelines over there our frickin’ business anyway? 10% for The Big Guy?
If Europe really needs this pipeline, why don’t they fill the gap that Biden created? Are there threats of retribution?
What do I not understand?
Joe is a master of Geopolitics. Just ask Golda Mier when he helped resolve the 6 Day War.
Biden's decision? Surely you jest. If there was a decision to be made, it would be from the people controlling him, especially in matters of Israel:
What say does Braindead Joe have in this pipeline?
Agree....Biden needs to butt out.
Hmmm...reading “Biden admin kills Isreal-Europe pipeline” within five minutes of also reading “Russia pulls back from Ukraine”.
Interesting.
Good for Turkey and Russia. Not so good for Europe. It's not clear to me what the US role here is. The pipeline isn't going to Delaware.
I don’t know how the US can “kill” this project if we are not financing it. The USA doesn’t control the whole Mediterranean. They should build it anyway and dare the US to try and stop them! Bad optics for Biden if he tried!
What leverage does Biden have other than stopping weapon sales to Israel?
It's as if they really don't even care if people figure it out.
Dittos. People wonder why other countries hate us, maybe sticking our nose where it doesn’t belong has something to do with it. Imagine if another country told us what we could or couldn’t do with the Keystone pipeline. Maybe they did, maybe China nixed it with Biden, but that didn’t make headlines did it.
First it is Clinton who supports the Muslim Brotherhood; next it is Obama supporting the Iranian Mullahs; now it is Biden underpinning Erdogan. Democrats doing business, and all done unilaterally.
Allows its material to be preserved and to reach more people.
The demise of the EastMed pipeline project appears to be — in large measure — the handiwork of Amos Hochstein, a political operator in the American Democratic Party and an acolyte of Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and former U.S. President Barack Obama. Hochstein, a confidant of U.S. President Joe Biden, currently serves as Senior Advisor for Energy Security at the U.S. Department of State.
A truly evil person whose only goal seems to be to harm Israel, and America when given an opportunity.
How is the USA’@ “leadership” able to butt into the business of the rest of the planet? It is not as if they are one of our 50 states.
Let’s Go Brandon!!!!
This whole administration consists of utter morons.
I believe Biden want his legacy to be “The President that f**ked up the world”.
