If Russia invades Ukraine, there will be no Nord Stream 2, Biden says
Reuters ^ | February 8, 2022

Posted on 09/28/2022 3:16:16 AM PDT by grundle

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.

It seems like you’re upset. But, please put a cork in your pie-hole sarcasm because you are sounding like Pee-wee Herman.
Now, go and have a good day there. I’ve going to work.

And this is exactly why Biden and his minions words were so stupid. Because if the US didn’t do it or wasn’t in on it, big gave those that did do it cover to blame the United States for it.

And, of course, the hilarious coincidence of one pipeline opening while two others get sabotaged is not lost on everyone. Of course, that one pipeline only has less than 1/10 the capacity of those two.

I do believe we are in Phoney war II. It may not end like the last one did but that’s definitely the period we’re in right now. All the parties involved are deciding exactly how to respond to the events of the last few days. Let’s hope they decide to be gentle. I sure wouldn’t want to live in Europe right now though. this is going to be a harsh winter.

Quibble all you want. This is what the entire rest of the world believes.

If you want to support what is essentially a covert undersea Pearl Harbor against Europe, that's on your conscience.

When I want to turn off my overhead light, I usually take out an axe and go straight through the drywall and sever the romex. So it makes total sense to me that Putin would blow up his own pipeline to stop gas from flowing, as reported by Bloomberg.

I'm sure this is all just purely a coincidence.

And I'm sure the entire world will agree with you....just an AMAZING series of coincidences.

“Quibble all you want. This is what the entire rest of the world believes.”

Hyperbole, much? The ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD? Really?

“If you want to support what is essentially a covert undersea Pearl Harbor against Europe, that’s on your conscience.”

Ah, so now it’s an attack on Europe, and not Russia? If so, why isn’t Europe fighting back? Why aren’t European heads-of-state taking to the airwaves decrying the US? Why isn’t Europe mobilizing to fight the evil USA?

And, again you rush to judgment and jump to conclusions, and assume facts not in evidence by implying I “...support what is essentially a covert undersea Pearl Harbor against Europe...” I see. By my wanting to see proof I am supporting an attack on Europe, or anyone else? You have already rendered your verdict in the Court of Travis McGee, and found me guilty of...what? Not agreeing with YOU? To the stocks with me! Off with my head!

And you have the gall to call US Nazis.

Ah, going after Sikorski’s Jewish wife, as well, are you? Are you an anti-Semite, too? Along with your other “qualifications?” Of what crimes against McGee have you found her guilty in your Court of Tavis McGee, where rumors and innuendo are the ultimate in truth?

“There’s quite a leap of reasoning from “Nord Stream 2 will not move forward” and “we will bring an end to it”, to having American frogmen blowing it up.”

THey have stolen multiple US elections, and you think they are not capable of blowing up a pipeline? We are advancing the WEF’s Global Reset, that is what this is all about

This is what it is all about. Getting the U.S in the New World Order. And the the New World Order in the U.S. Ever how you want to phrase it, this their end goal. And the members of the Biden Brigade and Biden worshipers are eating it up. Biden says Ya,Ya, Ya. His worshipers say ,Yo, Yo, yo. And begin to make his wishes come true.

“I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.”

Maybe you’re not aware of this but the way I see it, BRICS is NWO, Putin’s restoration of the Russian Empire is NWO, WEF is NWO, NATO is NWO.

Think about it. Soros wants to cull the world population right? War, fuel shortages and famine are the three fastest ways to do it, right?

There’s no such thing as a World War with only one side fighting. For Soros to have his war he needs TWO blocs escalating it.

So if it’s plausible that America did this, it’s equally possible that Russia did it.

People say Russia could’ve just turned the tap off. But it could only do that if it had the ability to store the gas that’s still entering the system. And they don’t have that ability. Why do you think they’re trolling us with burning off?

The real difference between taps off, burning off, and a pipe leak is simple: leaks have plausible deniability (accident, sabotage, act of God) while the “off” options can only be done intentionally in a way that only Russia could’ve done it.

So yes it is entirely plausible that Russia rigged something.

It’s equally possible that America did it. Maybe more plausible. But still deniable.

rumors and innuendo

ought-six talking about himself apparently.

What did Travis McGee post about Jews? Sounds like you are the one making baseless suggestions.

“What did Travis McGee post about Jews? Sounds like you are the one making baseless suggestions.”

He posted a photo and brief bio of Sikorski’s wife, Anne Applebaum. But for what purpose? She made no comment about the pipelines; she has no public or formal involvement in this at all. So why even bring her up? It served no purpose whatsoever.

But he had to have a reason for doing so.

She’s Jewish; an historically vilified and persecuted people, scapegoated throughout the ages.

Is that the reason he brought it up? Is he casting some fault or suspicion her way?

Hell, he’s already tried and convicted the Biden administration for acts of war, based on assumption and innuendo. He’s like Gold Hat in the movie, ‘Treasure of Sierra Madre’: “Proof? I don’t got no proof. I don’t got to show you no proof. I don’t got to show you no stinking proof!”

You are the a$$holes bringing up religion.

I just noted that a prominent ultra-liberal WaPo/Atlantic reporter is married to the former Polish Defense Minister, and current Polish MEP.

I found it interesting she’s a dual Polish/American citizen.

Her husband congratulated America for blowing up the Russian pipelines. The exact same day that the Norway-Poland pipeline opened up.

I had/have no idea of either of their religious affiliations.

Why did you feel the need to inject religion? WTF, over?

Referring to somebody who you claim is Jewish allows you to read minds, fabricate evil motives, and fling them at the one who made the referral? Most of us don't care whether she is or not..

Hell, he’s already tried and convicted the Biden administration for acts of war

If you want to defend Biden, you might have better luck convincing others on a different website.
