not only that but, before Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden said that if Russian tanks entered Ukraine, there would no longer be a Nordstream 2. And a journalist asked him (paraphrasing) how that could be the case since the pipeline is a German asset, and not just a Russian asset, and Germany is a US ally. And Biden just doubled down on his guarantee. And Victoria Nuland also made similar remarks.

You don’t have a link to Biden saying that handy, do you? I’d like to file that away for later.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=b3fUd8hmgy8&t=718 (warning: there’s a pretty loud high-pitched beep right after he answered, audio is kinda crappy in general. C-SPAN (timestamp: 12:22) has better quality (but still a beep) if you want to make your own clip, but obviously YouTube is easier for sharing)

edit: here’s a C-SPAN clip on YouTube of just that question. I originally opted for the full livestream since it would avoid accusations about context, but I think this fits the bill. Also I fixed the earlier C-SPAN link and noted that it also has the beep, my bad!

Yes, if anyone in Poland is privy to what US really do, it’s him.

The only mystery here is the question of when they’re going to finally blow the second fucking pipeline
