“You will know them by their fruits.”  Matthew 7:16(a) (NASB).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Russia is building a 764-mile undersea pipeline to Germany called Nord Stream 2. The U.S. is opposed to this pipeline. Former President Trump and Congress sanctioned ships involved in its construction.

As recently as March 18, 2021 Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said,

Nord Stream 2 is a bad deal — for Germany, for Ukraine, and for our Central and Eastern European allies and partners.

So, why is Mr. J. Robinette Biden now waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 and its Putin-allied CEO, giving the green light to the pipeline?

No XL Pipeline for the U.S., but a Russian pipeline to Germany is just fine.
