K “There is something to the story. There seems to be something more to the story. I am not completely persuaded and once again reserve judgment. I suspect the Brits and the CIA were involved.

K “The United States clearly violated Article 5 of the NATO Charter when it aided and abetted a terrorist attack on Germany’s infrastructure . . . so all the other members of NATO must come to the defense of the Germans. All for one; one for all.”
J “A treaty is followed when it is convenient and disregarded when it is inconvenient. That is known as the ‘rules-based international order’ and is one of America’s great contributions to humanity. In this situation, the NATO Charter is inconvenient. Ergo . . .”

Germany was maintaining cordial commercial relationships with Russia which threatened American hegemony.”

Biden: “If Russia invades – that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again – then there will be – there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
Andrea Shalal: “But how will you – how will you do that exactly, since the project and control of the project is within Germany’s control?”
