  Was probably the ones who didn't want to be on the hook for their end of the contract being violated by not sending resources down the pipeline.

  Come on dude. He said "we will bring an end to it", and when the reporter challenged him how he's going to do this given that it's a deal between Germany and Russia, he said "I promise you we will be able to do it." People have been convicted of murder on less evidence.

  > He said it would be "ended", meaning the one thing that it obviously means -- that it would be shut off. When Biden said that he was talking next to the person with the power to legally shut it off, the German chancellor. If he and Biden were in agreement on that point, that Nord Stream would be shut off if Russia invaded Ukraine, why did Biden say that explicitly but not Scholz, even after being asked directly by the journalists present? If they were not in agreement on that point, how could Biden promise that they would put an end to it? > The reasonable, level-headed people said: "We just don't know yet". Agreed.

    If they were not in agreement on that point, how could Biden promise that they would put an end to it? Typical politician nonsense. None of which means he was intending, or suggesting the idea of actually blowing it up.
