It seems to just be a bigger, better, safer version of what they already have:

Quote:What is Nord Stream 2?

Nord Stream 2 is a pipeline project slated to transport natural gas from eastern Russia to northern Germany, where it would link up with infrastructure that carries fuel to Western Europe. It would run 1,200 kilometers, mostly under the Baltic Sea along the existing Nord Stream pipeline — hence the name Nord Stream 2.



The second line would double the system’s capacity to 110 billion cubic meters.

I understand some countries not wanting to be more MORE reliant on one source.  We should be the same way here with emphasis on renewable resources but we all see how that conversation goes.


However it's capitalism.  If your boy Trump wants to do something about he needs to "make a deal" and make it work for his allies. Every POTUS that opposed it should have come up with a better answer for our allies.


I don't recall them acting like Trump and stomping his feet and pretending that the US doesn't WANT to spend all that money on military spending but they HAVE too because the ungrateful NATO allies won't pay him what he's owed.


A mistaken take on how NATO operates, but one that a man-child who barely wants to scratch the surface before creating an opinion would make.
