[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 341790, member: 35"] Sadly, I think the answer as to why the US would do this is greed. When I quoted Biden's Secretary of State, I didn't realize that he also bragged that the US is now “the leading supplier of LNG (liquified natural gas) to Europe.” In May, Reuters reported that "President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has opposed the $11 billion project that would take Russian gas from the Arctic to Germany, saying it is a bad deal for Europe. The United States is an exporter of natural gas to Europe in the form of LNG, but Russian gas is cheaper." Reuters did mention that the Biden Administration ultimately waived sanctions on Nord Stream 2 in order to "mend Europe ties," but that could have been for optics. Either way, Europe has to rely heavily on the US now.

However, I simply can't rule out US involvement based on statements from the Biden Administration. [/QUOTE]
