Scoop: Biden to waive sanctions on company in charge of Nord Stream 2

[excalibur]

Just change Biden to Trump in this story and the knuckle-draggers would be screaming that he's Putin's puppet, etc.

The left, so stupid, so dangerous for America.

The Biden administration will waive sanctions on the corporate entity and CEO overseeing the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline into Germany, according to two sources briefed on the decision.

Why it matters: The decision indicates the Biden administration is not willing to compromise its relationship with Germany over this pipeline, and it underscores the difficulties President Biden faces in matching actions to rhetoric on a tougher approach to Russia.

Driving the news: The State Department will imminently send its mandatory 90-day report to Congress listing entities involved in Nord Stream 2 that deserve sanctions. Sources familiar with the drafting of the report tell Axios the State Department plans to call for sanctions against a handful of Russian ships.

• The State Department will also acknowledge that the corporate entity in charge of the project (Nord Stream 2 AG) and its CEO (Putin crony and former East German intelligence officer Matthias Warnig) are engaged in sanctionable activities.
• However, the State Department will waive the applications of those sanctions, citing U.S. national interests.
• This planned move seems at odds with Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement, made during his confirmation hearing: "I am determined to do whatever we can to prevent that completion" of Nord Stream 2.

Between the lines: This planned move also sets up a bizarre situation in which the Biden administration will be sanctioning ships involved in the building of Nord Stream 2 but refusing to sanction the actual company in charge of the project.

• Sources close to the situation say that top Biden officials have determined that the only way to potentially stop the project — which is 95% complete — is to sanction the German end users of the gas.
• And the Biden administration is not willing to rupture its relationship with Germany over Nord Stream 2.

The big picture: As Axios has previously reported, the completion of Nord Stream 2 would be a huge geopolitical win for Putin and give him substantial new leverage in Europe.

So Biden shuts down our petroleum and energy sectors while Russia and China build theirs and we send money we don't have to maintain the farsical Paris Climate accords. Am I the only one that sees the lunacy of all of this?

You are one of the brainless that allow the last POTUS to live rent-free in your head. Nowhere in my post was there one word mentioned re: either Trump or your demented messiah. Pull your head out of your ass, read, comprehend and pay attention to the world around you. These are facts--Russia is building a petroleum PIPELINE to Germany while Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline and stopped new leases on federal land and waters. China is THE #1 builder of COAL-FIRED power plants in the WORLD. The US is the largest contributor to the Paris Climate Accords. Now just STFU moron.

FUCK this rent free shit. Where does that even come from? Memories of Hilary I assume.
The KeyStone PipelineXL is not even complete, so no Fucking OIL was stopped.
Just stop embarrassing yourself.
Sure, and Coal is Clean and Beautiful.

 

[Concerned American]

The KeyStone PipelineXL is not even complete, so no Fucking OIL was stopped.

You ignorant fuck. You missed the entire point. China Joe is promoting the construction of a pipeline in Russia while denying one in the US. Keystone doesn't provide the US with oil either, moron. BTW, Biden's chickenshit policies are responsible for the hacking of the Continental pipeline. Stick to bagging groceries--it is the only thing you're qualified to do.

 

[Winco]

Keystone doesn't provide the US with oil either,

C'mon Dude.
I've stated that. It is Canadian Tar Sand Oil. Pipe to Houston. Potentially.

Point is, you (or someone) complained about Biden shutting down the KeystoneXL, which is true, because you were concerned about Oil Production. When in reality, the KeystoneXL has not been completed and was pumping ZERO oil.

Now we know the reason for this:

"Hunter Biden received $3.5M wire transfer from Russian billionaire: Senate report​

Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow, Senate Republicans revealed in their report on the younger Biden’s work in Ukraine.

Baturina is referenced in the 87-page report, which was released Wednesday, addressing her payment to Biden’s investment firm in early 2014.

“Baturina became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor,” it said in providing background on the businesswoman."

Gee, Barry learned Hillary was trying to but Russian propaganda to use against Trump...according to the DOJ & evidence. Barry & his team thentookover, acquiring tge Russian Intel Agency propaganda - from a foreign ex-spy - and used it to defraud the FISA Ciurt and used it in a failed coup attempt.

Hillary & Russia
Obama and Russia

Later we learned the Bidens laundered millions of Russian Oligarch money...

And so far Biden has surrendered our energy independence, shut down the pipeline, increased OUR reliance on CCP & Russian energy, made the CCP & Russia stronger...and is helping Putin secure the dependence of Europe on Russia/Putin & Russian energy.

If could not be more clear that Joe Biden is sabotaging the US while aiding and abetting our enemies.....

...but he's a DEMOCRAT, so its ok.

Let me try to get this right.

Sippy cup Joe gives the go-ahead on a project that will give a cold blooded murdering Putin (Joe's words) a future switch to flick in order to freeze out EU countries in the dead of winter.

Have I got this right, so far?

You're not, but remember Biden's entire energy "policy" revolves around making sure we pay the highest prices possible to his Russian and Middle Eastern partners for our oil, and that it be transported over the massive distances in carbon-spewing ships, trains, and trucks. Remember, the "big guy" always gets his 10%.

Joe Biden Received Campaign Cash From Top Russia Lobbyist Before Waiving Sanctions on Nord Stream 2 Pipeline​

Joe Biden Received Campaign Cash From Top Russia Lobbyist Before Waiving Sanctions on Nord Stream 2 Pipeline | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

Joe Biden and his Democrat allies received money from a top Russia lobbyist in 2020 before waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Joe Biden and his Democrat allies received money from a top Russia lobbyist in 2020 before waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Recall, Biden’s first order of business was to shut down the Keystone Pipeline which killed more than 55,000 American jobs.
But Joe Biden supports a pipeline from Russia to Germany that will expand Vladimir Putin’s political power and influence in the region.
In 2019, the Trump Administration put economic sanctions on companies and executives involved in the building of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany.
