putin on in nord stream 2? why does it matter? it s a pipeline going from russia to germany because they want to bypass ukraine. in 2014 putin invaded crimea but didn t continue to invade the rest of the country. didn t go all the way to kiev. why? because right now the russian natural gas goes through ukraine, through ukrainian energy infrastructure to get the europe. the ukrainians could have destroyed that pipeline and cut off the ability to get to mark. nord stream 2 is enabling russia to cut out ukraine for them to drive the tanks into downtown kiev in 2019 i authored bipartisan legislation sanctions on nord stream 2, passed both houses of congress. president trump signed it into law and the day that my legislation was signed into law
