Biden under fire after waiving sanctions on Russian gas pipeline firm
Republicans accused Biden of placating German Chancellor Angela Merkel and handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a geopolitical win.

The State Department report said "close cooperation" with Germany, the European Union and other European countries will be critical for U.S. efforts to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, promote a global economic recovery, fight climate change and address other challenges, including countering "malign behavior by Russia and China."
But "Bob Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, denounced the decision in a scathing statement.
"I am opposed to the decision by the Biden administration to waive sanctions on NS2 AG and Matthias Warnig. I urge the administration to rip off the Band-Aid, lift these waivers and move forward with the congressionally mandated sanctions," Menendez said "The administration has said that the pipeline is a bad idea and that it is a Russian malign influence project. I share that sentiment, but fail to see how today's decision will advance U.S. efforts to counter Russian aggression in Europe," he said.
Congress and Eastern European governments think the pipeline is a bad idea being shoved through by a bad nation...Russia.
But the leftist refuge called the State Department doesn't want to alienate Russia, because they are such good friends, I guess.
Oh, and covid, global warming, global economic recovery, and countering "malign behavior by Russia".
So do the leftists in the State Department think Russia should be pacified and catered to? Or "countered"?
Hard to say since they are talking out of both sides of their dishonest mouths at once.
And Joe Biden says what, about all this? Biden received funds from top Russia lobbyist before Nord Stream 2 giveaway
Well, he likes it when foreign governments given him money. So Biden is fine with doing this favor for Vlad Putin. Because you know....money! Joe Biden tears down our pipeline and he gives thumbs up to Russia's pipeline. At least his priorities are in order.
Why did Joe cancel our pipeline again? Environmental concerns? I guess the Russians and Germans
have discovered a way to get around all that. Shouldn't Joe Biden know about this?
And the DNC, not Biden, said the money sent to Senile Joe was sent back to Russia but when you are caught with your hands in the cookie jar, and are forced to pull your hands out, the damage has already been done! And compounded by Joe helping his pal Vlad out.
Maybe Hunter Biden needs a new job and Joe knows just where he can find one for his crack addicted son.
