Nord Stream is completely nonfunctional and it has apparently been full of salt water for too long to be used again. See link.

Pre Ukraine, Germany was desperate to make Russia part of the European scene and thus worked to make Nord Stream happen as a way to integrate the Russian economy into the West. It turned into a massive failure and a HUGE embarrassment to Germany. Since then, Germany has built facilities to handle liquefied natural gas from the US and other sources. These facilities will handle all of Germany’s current and future needs. (As Trump warned them, they needed to do, or Russia would use the gas as a political and economic lever to force Germany’s foreign policies to Russia’s will.)

Germany’s help for Ukraine is coming out of its current budget, whereas the majority of America’s help is coming from pre-disposal storage of weapons we won’t use again.

It only became a “failure” when the U.S. destroyed the pipeline. It would still be a successful venture if that had not happened.

Either you don’t see the irony and the hypocrisy of this, or you’re just here peddling corporate propaganda. So Germany had to let the U.S. use gas as a political and economic lever to force Germany’s policies to America’s will … because otherwise Russia would use the gas as a political and economic lever to force Germany’s foreign policies to Russia’s will? LOL.

Yes, of course we believe you. America’s aid to Ukraine is ALL FREE to America’s taxpayers. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT $200 BILLION INCREASE IN AMERICAN NATIONAL DEBT to finance all the FREE STUFF.
