  1. Biden’s decision is trying to make ammends for a decision that allowed Europe to be dependent on Russia with the agreement to extend a pipeline through the North Sea called the Nord Stream 2. Lawmakers in DC were overwhelmingly against it with bipartisan support of a slate of mandatory sanctions aimed at crippling the pipeline over geopolitical and environmental concerns. Biden waived those and is now paying the price. Arguably one of the worst Presidents in the history of the USA and we are only a little over 1 year in…

  2. This is only saluted because Biden is such a weak president … and finally did what should have been done immediately. If he had not weakened US energy production over a year ago through his executive actions, Putin would not be doing what he is doing currently. This is a “hollow salute” at best. The world needs a strong US president to lead the world as a champion of freedom and human rights. “Leading from behind” does not work in today’s world with dictators like Putin and Xi waiting to seize opportunities like they currently are seizing. We and the world need a strong leader and we have a weak politician in Biden. The Ukrainians are paying the price for his weakness right now. We may pay far more than “paying at the pump” before this is concluded.
