I'm watching the presidential debate and this just happened afraid of him I ended the nordstream 2 pipeline did did did you catch that I ended the nordstream 2 pipeline no he didn't he thinks he did but he didn't now for some reason a lot of people think Donald Trump is claiming here that he blew up the pipeline that's not what he's saying he's talking about when he imposed sanctions um against companies building the pipeline to try to get it shut down the pipeline that had nothing to do with us the pipeline that ran from Russia to Germany the pipeline that Russia wanted to build and the pipeline that Germany wanted them to build so we tried to stop the pipeline even though everyone involved in the pipeline wanted it why would we do that well we claimed it was you know in Germany's best interest and of course with our imperialistic nature and we just think we tell everybody what to do you know Germany was like off it had nothing to do with Germany's interest it had everything to do with big oil in the United States all that money that Big Oil you know flows into Congress uh basically Big Oil paid for our government to do their bidding on a pipeline overseas that we had nothing to do with the republicans in Congress and Donald Trump tried to stop a project on the other side of the world because Us big us oil producers wanted them to do so because they didn't want to have to compete with that when they're building all of these LG terminals along the Gulf Coast and east coast of the United States that's the only thing this was about Big Oil using our government to get their Way Big Oil using our president to get something they want claiming we're doing it for our allies when the very allies we are doing it for is saying don't do this for us we want the pipeline at the end of the day the sanctions didn't matter anyway because the work continued on the nordstream 2 pipeline because one thing people in our government have not figured out yet is just because you put sanctions on someone doesn't mean they're going to say okay I'm going to stop sanctions work about as well as gunfree zone signs yeah yeah that's about how well sanctions work so the pipeline was completed and our allies were so pissed off at us because we had put these sanctions on this pipeline uh when the pipeline became like 95% completed Joe Biden went ahead and approved it and lifted the sanctions just to try to restore relations with our allies because we were imposing our will on them and they did not want us to and they're supposed to be our allies well actually we were imposing the will of big oil on them not not really our will the will of big oil on them cuz Big Oil didn't want that pipeline cuz they're going to make billions on LG to Europe what do we call that over here what what is that term what do we call that oh yeah American exceptionalism yeah that's what we call that yeah thanks
