WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday warned that if Russia invades Ukraine, there would be no Nord Stream 2, but did not specify how he would go about ensuring the controversial pipeline would not be used.
Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden said, "If Russia invades... again, then there will be longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."
When asked how he would do that, he responded, "I promise you we will be able to do it."
Europe's most divisive energy project, Nord Stream 2 is designed by Russian energy giant Gazprom to double the amount of gas flowing from Russia straight to Germany, bypassing traditional transit nation Ukraine.
The United States and Germany have sought to present a united front against potential Russian military aggression in Ukraine, with Biden declaring the two in "lockstep" despite questions over Berlin's commitment to scuttle the important energy pipeline.

NS1 exploded. Minor detail.
reason to believe some part of the anti-Russian coalition?
FakeNewsMSM I have monitored on radio and TV over the past 20 hours or so are not even mentioning this story in their news bulletins!
For the love of god stop cutting this Demented fool a break. He wasn't talking trade and contract law. If you didn't read his remarks as an overt threat, you're nothing more than a flack for this administration.

Whodunnit? - Facts Related to The Sabotage Attack On The Nord Stream Pipelines
CARBONATED BALTIC — THEIR ANSWER TO THE REFERENDUM. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT NORD STREAM
Tucker covered it in his opening. Hannity and Ingraham never brought it up.
Opening shots of WW3. No mention. Amazing.
The only one that is ‘benefitting’ from what has occurred, is the US and Poland. If this was not coordinated with the Germans, the US just broke NATO Article 5.
👍
Please quit with the imbecilic childish non-logic. It's embarrassing coming from an adult.
The entire world knows who did this pipeline sabotage operation. Only a few dead-end holdouts still deny reality.
Nord Stream 1 blew up. Small detail. Why is there no fire? It’s a natural gas line? Nord Stream 2 was not in use.
Kazan, you “gotta” jump on that draft bus, and out of Kazan, and get more involved in bagging those Ukee’s, Poles, and Americans!
This could be a real ecological disaster for Kaliningrad, and Leningrad Oblast!
you’re wrong, both nord 1 and 2 were blown up.
And nord 2 wasn’t transporting gas, but it was full of hundreds of miles of gas
What fire do you expect under water? nS II was pressured ready to work at every moment.
Act of sabotage.
Act of terrorism.
Breach of NATO Article 5.
WTG USA! USA! USA!
=.=
It's like the Japanese navy pulled an underwater sabotage Pearl Harbor, covertly, and Japanese media barely covered it.
Except it wasn't Japan in 1941, it was the USA in 2022.
The rest of the world is looking right at us in horror, wondering what Senile Joe Biden [and his handlers like Victoria Nuland] will order next.
Make no mistake. We are now in Phoney War II. With this sabotage, it just got real.
Stock up. You’ll almost certainly need it.
For this midsimg the point, Google phoney war.

“BALTOPS 22: A Perfect Opportunity for Research and Testing New Technology “
BALTIC SEA — A significant focus of BALTOPS every year is the demonstration of NATO mine hunting capabilities, and this year the U.S. Navy continues to use the exercise as an opportunity to test emerging technology, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Public Affairs said June 14.
In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.
Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68.
BALTOPS is an ideal location for conducting mine hunting experimentation due to the region’s unique environmental conductions such as low salinity and varying bottom types. It is also critical to evaluate emerging mine hunting UUV technology in the Baltic due to its applicability with allied and partner nations. This year experimentation was focused on UUV navigation, teaming operations, and improvements in acoustic communications all while collecting critical environmental data sets to advance the automatic target recognition algorithms for mine detection.
“In prior BALTOPS we demonstrated advanced capabilities to detect, reacquire and collect images of mine contacts, and transfer those images in near real-time to operators through the use of a specialized Office of Naval Research UUV,” said Anthony Constable, Office of Naval Research science advisor to U.S. 6th Fleet. “This year, through the work of NIWC Pacific and NUWC Newport, we are showing that this capability can be integrated into programs of record by executing complex multi-vehicle UUV missions with modified U.S. Navy fleet assets.”

Sabotage, terrorism, USA!
Kazan, you can’t just stay behind that keyboard!
You gotta act!
Tbe US must be stopped at all cost, and all those Germans, Poles, and Ukee’s bagged!
And your missing out on all those American souvenir sales which could make you rich and help.you retire in a Guatemala vodka paradise!
Yep.
