I completely support @SenTedCruz’s proposal to sanction those responsible for planning, constructing or operating the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. This pipeline serves to only enrich Putin.
I know this is difficult for our German allies, but now is not the time to enter into a business relationship with Putin that will increase his wealth exponentially and force Europe to become more reliant on Russian energy.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz Thing is, Lindsey, sanctions you describe won't have any effect on Putin's objectives. He's focused on preparing an invasion of Ukraine. Sanctions will speed that up. NS2 isn't operating. No gas is going to flow in it as long as Germany keeps witholding permits..
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz Who cares? That is not happening in America.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz What does the Nord Stream 2 pipeline have to do with the United States? Absolutely nothing. Leave it to Lindsey Graham to start a needless war with Russia.
@LindseyGrahamSC @JFurlong14 @SenTedCruz Why talk about "Putin's wealth" if it is obvious that your goal is to slow down the development of Russia? And at the same time slow down your German "allies". To reduce the competitiveness of the EU. Be direct and honest, Senator.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz Be careful.. trump loves Putin💕
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz Germany and the rest of the EU needs energy. What are they going to do?
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz Seditious conspiracy….
