#1 This was the whole point of claiming Russia was going to invade Ukraine in the first place. Get this pipeline cancelled! Hooray for our political elites in DC, they can and do start wars over pipelines. The Syrian war started over a pipeline from the ME oilfields to Europe.

#3 No loss for anyone. The Germans can certify the pipeline at anytime in the future. Meanwhile, they keep purchasing Putin's oil.
Putin could respond to Germany by putting the current pipeline under repair and restricting flow to the West. Better yet, according to Putin, the pipeline is "sabotaged" by the Ukrainians.

#4 Ending the Trump energy initiatives and shutting it all down for the Greens, green on the outside red on the inside, set this all up. Yet no one, no one in the Swamp can comprehend this. Bad Luck!

#6 I don't get this. Germany is pretty far north, and it's still February. Isn't it going to get pretty cold there, and couldn't they use the natural gas?

That was my question! It may be that not letting Vladimir sit at the Mean Girls table is more important than inconveniencing your citizens with high energy bills and freezing to death.

#8 Unnecessary suffering inflicted on the proles is street cred for the WEF crowd.

#9 Nordstrean 2 isn't pumping oil. Germany gets it's supply thru lines in Ukraine. Oil prices as of today 2/23 10:45am eastern are relatively stable if not down for the week.

#11 also Nord Stream 1 is still providing nat gas to Germany

#12 If Germans can't get gas from Russia they will get it from America. But don't count on Brandon to end his restrictions on domestic production. Gas will become more expensive for all of us.

#13 problem with Germany getting natural gas from USA is that the gas would have to be liquefied and brought to Germany.

So instead of costing, say, $6 per million BTU at the end of the US pipeline, the cost at the port in Germany would be, say $24/per million BTU

I'm not sure how much Germany now pays for gas from Nord Stream 1 but my guess it is about $9-12 which includes the gas plus the transmission fee

#14 LNG terminal out past Houston has been constantly loading ships that are headed to Europe, sounds like they knew this was coming and bought US Natgas before the rates went up.

All we need now is to have them reverse the fracking decisions and let out petro industry loose from the green's noose.

#16 have them reverse the fracking decisions

About as likely as these assholes admitting there are only two genders. Or that inflation is not "temporary." Or that BLM is a hustle built on lies. Or releasing the CDC's data that shows their pseudo-vax is vastly more harmful to 18-49 year-olds than the virus.

i.e. probability of zero
