The trouble with Nord Stream 2 is that it removes the dependencies which keep Russia from invading Eastern European countries like Poland by creating a route to sell gas to the richer parts of Europe that doesn't go through them, whilst also creating a dependency that would make it painful for the rest of Europe to take action if Russia did such a thing. This is probably not good for peace in Europe.
