The problem is in this case: Is the government of the USA - whoever this is in this context - really so extremely stupid? And if so: Why? Why such an extremely stupid decision?
It really isn't. Biden has said that if there was a war between Ukraine and Russia he would destroy the pipes and Blinken said what a tremendous opportunity it was. The people of Europe were getting fed up with this war and the thought of going cold this winter and watching their industry being destroyed all for Ukraine and were rebelling at this time. If they withdrew from the war they could have Russian gas back immediately. Now this is no longer a possibility. Europe is stuck and is probably going to see the end of its industry over this war. The US will be selling Europe Gas. The US is the only country which made a great deal from this and Biden promised, yes it was that strong, that if war between Ukraine and Russia broke out he would destroy the pipelines.
