America's tack was always to stop Europe from buying Russian gas.
To rely on America's energy instead has forever and a day been the game.
Over the long run, you simply want to change the structure of energy dependence.
You want to depend more on the North American energy platform, the tremendous bounty of oil and gas that we're finding in North America.
You want to have pipelines that don't go through Ukraine and Russia.
For years we've tried to get the Europeans to be interested in different pipeline routes.
It's time to do that.
It's been done!
Not by persuasion, not by diplomatic sweat, but by sanctions and by veiled violent threat.
Democrats, And Republicans both know that Nord Stream 2 is a terrible idea.
It's a terrible idea for Europe, and it's a terrible idea for the United States.
It's a great idea for Europe that saves huge expenditures through contracted, inexpensive gas from Russia.
It's a bad idea for Jumerica that hates to see those nasty Germans aligning with Russia and China in their pending dynamo, the Eurasian economic bloc.
The pipeline can't go into effect.
Unless it is certified.
United States law, passed overwhelmingly by Democrats and Republicans in this Congress, signed into law in the U.S. Code, says anyone who certifies it faces mandatory crushing sanctions from the United States.
Sure enough, like a poopy poodle dog, Schultz of Germany, crapping in his pants, refused to certify Nord Stream 2 despite billions in German funding.
With regard to Nord Stream 2, we continue to have very strong and clear conversations with our German allies, and I want to be clear with you today.
If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.
Seems the nastier Noodleman struts, the more she looks like Juba the Hutt.
If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.
We will bring an end to it.
But how will you do that?
Exactly. Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.
We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.
And that Jew-America did.
The military operation that blew holes in Nord Stream 1 and 2 on the Baltic Sea floor was executed by the Polish Navy, aided by the Danish and Swedish Navy.
Poland, being a NATO country and NATO run by two paid hacks in DC and funded by the Jew-owned Fed, did nada without CIA's and Assad's planning, approval and participation.
European brass say the damage is irreversible, with salty seawater corroding the pipes.
No coincidence, but the very next day, Poland announces the launching of the Baltic pipeline project that would replace Russian gas.
Well, good luck! Germany alone needs 90 billion cubic meters annually to meet its energy demands.
Baltic pipe only delivers 2.4 billion cubic meters over a 10-year range.
Divide 2.4 by 10 and Europe is cutting wood for a coon's age.
Could start maybe October or sometime in November with some extra oomph, hopefully with no snafus, December.
Who wins? Schumerka of sorts, which makes Poland a Europe's gas giver.
The rest will be shipped from Schumerka's ports.
Who loses? Germany, France, Italy, Spain, whose industries with beaucoup prices will be fully drained.
Russia does lose lots of gas and euros, but the pipes weren't flowing anyways.
