Sometimes you need to hear the other party’s newsfeed. Tucker Carlson breaks it down: https://twitter.com/columbiabugle/status/1574921923624058887... Excerpt 6min: “One way or another Nordstream 2 will not proceed”
Even the flipping Germans were saying NordStream 2 is dead. This was Scholz in August: “we ended the approval process for good reason.” Tucker is pretending this is a smoking gun when the reality is, the US and Germany had a political agreement wherein the US agreed to lift sanctions on NordStream 2 in 2021 so long as Germany agreed that further Russian aggression would prompt re-evaluation. This was reported months…
The same Germans who said they were shuttering all their nuclear plants until reality changed and they weren't. Tucker Carlson and partisan politics completely aside, only a fool believes anything any politician ever says. Politicians speak out of the desire to gain votes, the desire to gain donations, the desire to gain legal bribes from lobbyists, the desire to gain support (and avoid opposition) from intelligence agencies (primarily the CIA), the desire to gain favor among other perceived powerful interests and the desire to gain positive coverage from the most powerful media outlets (especially those dominant among their respective political constituency). The realities on the ground dictate what happens, and the reality now is that someone blew up the pipeline.
