An excellent observation. Energy shipping via pipelines is wholly a matter of who controls and taxes via transit fees the supply of petroleum. The Middle East pipelines, the Gazprom Nord Stream and of course the shutting down of the Keystone XL have all been about who and how energy is shipped.
The Obama-Biden hand in all this can be tracked simply following the gamesmanship of Victoria Nuland, though many others play their murderous roles.
I assume this is why the Biden administration stopped the proposed Israel pipeline going from the eastern Med to Egypt, Cyprus and Greece?
