Earlier this year, Joe Biden made the troubling and inexplicable move to lift some sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would allow it to be completed, basically giving up on stopping the pipeline which the U.S. has been fighting for years. Even Biden himself had said in February it was a bad idea. But then he waived the sanctions anyway.
It’s an incredibly bad idea, because it’s empowering Russia and giving them a hold over the EU when we’ve been trying to stop them from having such a foothold since the 1950s. Biden is just handing it over to them and he’s doing that while harming our own energy independence by stopping things like the Keystone XL Pipeline. This is while Russian criminals have been conducting cyber assaults on key industries like oil and food, including on things like the Colonial Pipeline.
