Joe Biden waiving sanctions against Russian pipeline

For four years we heard that Donald Trump was Putin’s puppet. But while Donald Trump actually put tough sanctions on Russia it is none other than Joe Biden who is waiving sanctions so Russia can complete a gas pipeline. Here is more:

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.

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.

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.

So let me see if I have this straight, Joe Biden is going to waive the sanctions for this pipeline between Russia and Germany because it is in the United State’s national interests and yet he canceled the Keystone Pipeline because it was not.

Sounds to me like somebody is in Putin’s pocket…
