Why does the US care about the Nord Stream 2? Do you personally care about it?
I’d rather not see a Europe wildly dependent on a shitty oligarchy that seriously wishes to undermine US and European interests across the globe.
You assertion is so bizarre “isn’t it for the European voter to decide.”
Yes. Duh.
Does that mean we can’t say “hey this is a bad idea.” Last I checked we couldn’t force Europeans to vote one way or the other.
Just imagine if Europeans never complained about US plans that only tangentially effect them.

The resulting CO2 would be a much less damaging greenhouse gas than the unburned escaping methane is.
