"Germany on Tuesday halted the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline designed to bring natural gas from Russia directly to Europe, after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized breakaway parts of eastern Ukraine and sent troops into the region. Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said that Germany had to reassess the situation regarding Nord Stream 2. “In light of the most recent developments we must reassess the situation in particular regarding Nord Stream 2,” Scholz said.
The $11 billion pipeline is designed to double the amount of gas flowing from Russia to Germany and it was completed late last year. But German regulators had yet to give the green light to the pipeline to officially allow it to operate. Some countries in Europe, particularly Poland and Ukraine, are vocal opponents of the pipeline and fear Russia gaining more dominance over Europe’s energy sector."
Germany making this announcement doesn't mean jack-squat...That pipeline will continue as planned; Germany is just playing the virtue signal game.....to appear they care about Ukraine and show some type of faux unified stance with NATO....Fact is, at the end of the day, Germany's need for energy/natural gas outweighs their need to virtue signal on behalf of Ukraine.
Right now, if you are a true patriotic American, you need to be standing with Putin and Russia, not Ukraine. The president of Ukraine is a crook and Ukraine and the Dems are the two most corrupt entities on Earth...they stole the election and now Ukraine needs to suffer the consequences for their crimes...Russia is the only country righteous and moral enough to take decisive action against Ukraine and countries (like the US and Canada) that engage in rigging elections and suppressing the rights and views of others. Ukraine needs to be re-annexed into Russia and Taiwan needs to be part of China -- that is the only way to reverse the tide of evil Democrat fascism, cultural Marxism and out of control LGBTQ bolsheviks....
