I'm quite curious about what Biden meant not long ago about "getting rid of Nordstream 2" publicly. Its such a strange risky speech.

  Sanctions. Not sure on what exactly, but could be for example on the compressor turbines. North America (US and Canada) is a powerhouse in hydrocarbon technology. A lot of the fields in Russia are running Schlumberger technology. We'll see how that goes forward in the sanctions world, will probably end up nationalized/stolen like the various Boeings and Airbuses from European leasing companies.

  He meant terminating the deal obviously. It's the idea that the president pre announces sabotage operations that's ridiculous.

    Terminating a deal he wasn’t a part of?
    • H8crilA 4y ago
      Terminating a deal you're not a part of is called sanctions.
      • kdmsk 4y ago
        I see that for the US explosives can be a part of sanctions.

      Pressuring close allies to terminate, yes.

  Not just Biden. Nuland and at least one more offical made threats back in January/February itself. I think it was Blinken. Not a very clever thing to do.

  The administration had previously waived some recommended sanctions on Nord Stream 2. Presumably they'd enact new sanctions that would make it impossible to operate the pipeline.
