Biden: There will be no Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades Ukraine
US President says Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline will not be implemented if Russia further invades Ukraine.

US President Joe Biden stated on Monday that "there will no longer be Nord Stream 2," a crucial Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline, if Russia further invades Ukraine with "tanks and troops", reported The Associated Press. Speaking during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden said that the US and Germany were "working in lockstep to further deter Russian aggression in Europe."

Scholz added, "We are closest allies and we are working intensely together, and this is necessary for doing the steps that we have to do, for instance, fighting against Russian aggression against Ukraine." Before meeting Biden, Scholz told German media that "there will be a very high price if Ukraine is attacked militarily. And we are preparing for this very precisely and have been talking about the details for a long time." The comments come amid continued tensions between Russia and Ukraine, after 100,000 Russian troops were amassed near Ukraine, fueling Western worries of a possible offensive. On Sunday, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that Russia could invade Ukraine "any day," launching a conflict that would come at an "enormous human cost."

I think we need to look closely at this because this could be one of the hooks in Russia jaw Imo.
Nord Stream 2 competition is the EastMed Pipeline that Biden recently pulled support from. The East Med pipeline would have / will send gas from Eastern Mediterranean Sea (near Israel) to Greece via Crete and Cyprus, then on to the rest of Europe. Putin has tasked Turkey with interrupting the build and they have abliged.

I can't help but think that the gas resources of Israel's territory is key to hooking the jaw...

In my imagination I can see God causing an earthquake in Russia causing them to lose their gas resources, thus hooking their jaw to go out and claim other (Israel's) resources by force to ensure their continued grip on power / $$$. Or EastMed support grows, building continues and threatens Putins control over EU and he acts ? Too many scenaos but these stand out to me.

Link to recent article regarding Biden decision to pull EastMed support :

"Earlier this month, the United States surprised Greece and its two primary partners in the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, Israel and Cyprus, by withdrawing its backing for a natural gas pipeline that would have connected them to Europe. The American change of heart was ostensibly justified by the need to focus on clean energy sources and that this project did not align with Europe’s green energy plans."

I guess Biden does not know that the Nord 2 Pipeline was completed in Sep 2021 - A lot of people do not realize that there is already Nord 1 pipeline that has been running for years since 2011and Nord 2 is running along side the Nord 1 pipeline basically doubling the flow of natural gas. Nord Stream 1 has a total annual capacity of 55 billion m3 (1.9 trillion cu ft) of gas. When Nord 2 get certified the total output for both pipeline will be around 110 billion m3

Pray tell, how would Biden stop this pipeline into Germany???
