Democrats Use Dreaded Filibuster to Block Ted Cruz Bill Sanctioning Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline

Honestly you just can't make this shit up.  The left has lost their collective minds. 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/14/democrats-use-dreaded-filibuster-to-block-ted-cruz-bill-sanctioning-russias-pipeline/

Democrats used the Senate filibuster, which they are busy trying to eliminate, to block a bill by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Thursday that would have sanctioned companies associated with Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The bill had 55 votes.

The filibuster requires 60 votes to end debate and move to a final vote, which meant that despite the 55-44 margin, and the votes of five Democrats in favor, the bill could not advance — a win for President Joe Biden’s approach to talks with Russia.

The Biden administration allowed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to proceed last year — after shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline project in the U.S. to appease environmentalists — saying that the project was too close to completion to reverse.

President Donald Trump had sought to block Nord Stream 2 because it would have made Europe more dependent on Russia’s natural gas, increasing President Vladimir Putin’s leverage in the west and his ability to circumvent pipelines in Ukraine.

Critics were livid at Democrats — and at the establishment media, which pushed the false “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory against Trump while ignoring Democrats’ efforts to appease Russia, even as Putin has amassed troops on the border with Ukraine and threatened to invade.

The pipeline goes to Germany. You guys need to pay attention to more than what’s in your cardboard box.

So again why do you want another nation dependent on the Kremlin for there energy needs? Honestly can you think for your self at all ever? Or is having more nations dependent on Russia and sending them Billions a good thing as long as Biden is the one giving the ok ?

You also understand the ban on coal mining and shipping out of America  is what has created this need of Germany to become more dependent on Russia don't you? 

Every action has a reaction but I bet it felt good to sit back and really feel like yoir boy Obama was really saving the world ha ?  Now here we are with a old fool ready to go to war with the same countery he is fighting to keep there pipelines flowing with fossil fuel so they can build a even stronger military with the billions they will make on the export . 

Let's go Brandon

“[H]as Germany effectively left NATO?” Hewitt asked. “And I am deadly serious. If they are preventing overflights of British supplies to Ukraine, and they’re refusing to allow the Baltic states to send the mortars that Germany sold them to Ukraine, they are effectively returning to the position of Central Europe arbitrator between Russia and the West. They have left NATO, I believe.”
