For those unable to watch, the clip is from before the war began. Biden says that in the event of a Russian invasion into Ukraine, there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. “We will bring an end to it.”
The reporter asks how they would do it since it’s outside US jurisdiction. “I promise you we will be able to do it.”
Edit: Full interview (03:42)
That disgusting fucking half smirk. I swear to god this demented old freak will get us all killed.
If this really was done by the US and/or Ukraine, this is a direct attack on critical European infrastructure, a crucial lifeline of Western Europe and a direct attack on Russia too. If the EU was anything but a docile US puppet, this would have to be recognized as an act of war of sorts. It is meant to destroy Europe economically and permanently lock it into hostilities with Russia and judging by who is leading Europe, this will sever ties for good and has cemented the next permanent conflict to be exploited by US capital interest.
This shit is bad.
I’ve seen this 39-second edit of this clip posted a few times today, and it leaves out some important context.
In the 3m42s version you can see that this was a joint press conference with Chancellor Scholz, and the reporter’s question was specifically as to whether Scholz had agreed to make this threat (invasion means canceling Nord Stream 2). And, as can be seen from Scholz’ subsequent reply, at that time the answer was in fact very much that Scholz was not yet willing to explicitly make that threat.
So, the context of Biden’s smirk at the end of the 39s clip is that he is standing next to the Chancellor of Germany while explaining that this reporter’s stated assumption that “the project is within Germany’s control” was incorrect.
That seems even worse tbh.
For real, it’s much worse
Thanks for letting us know, I didn’t know the longer clip

He didn’t explicitly make that threat but seems like he is in line with whatever the American expectations are. He basically says that Germany will do whatever America will ask them to do.
Of all his promises, this is the one he chose to keep.
USA rulers really do feel untouchable, don’t they
Watching America ruin the entire word is getting really old ngl 😔
My liberal father automatically assumed it was Russia’s fault
I hurt my back last week, it was probably Putin’s fault.
I once fell while riding a bicycle and broke my arm, that was probably Putin’s fault as well
Ya know, we used to joke about “Obama stealing lightbulbs and pissing in elevators” here in Russia. Guess that boomerang flew back.
Thanks Putin.
Well. That’s it, fellas. Now we’re in WW3 100%.
Starting to think we have low key been at WW since the start of the pandemic. Real apocalypse hours out here.
Now it’s Europe’s turn to be exploited.
Unfortunately it’s being exploited by the same people
