- Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) questions Victoria Nuland, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee to examine U.S.-Russia policy.
Can you imagine if the german parliament were discussing about destroying an american pipeline?
If the German parliament were discussing it, Americans would just laugh. But can you imagine the uproar, if Russian parlament was discussing about destroying an American pipeline?
Scholz supported Biden. Maybe the people of germany are different, but the government doesn't have balls.
Didn't need to. Biden did that first thing.
And discussing punishing and isolating not just the US politically but the American people, leveling a credible threat to prevent Americans from working, traveling, communicating, and doing business-we would go sanctimoniously ballistic, literally.
Flagrant terrorism
„F**k the EU!“
[Victoria Nuland 2014]
What a hypocritical joke America has become
"That pipeline" is not in YOUR country. Why don't you block pipelines in the US, YOUR country???????
America has blocked pipe lines in America the first thing Biden did when he took power was to block the keystone pipeline from Canada
@@williamdavis4952 That's your business. Did Russia object?
Now look what has happened
Ha! Ha! Woke EU ... guess who just blew up the pipelines. Proof that anyone getting in bed with the crazed US is going to end up on the toxic end of the stick. Bye! Bye! German industrial juggernaut!
They did.
US..."country" with the most blood on there hands.
To be fair, the US is run by the the bagel maker's lobby and blackmail ring.
Why does the sign say "the honorable Victoria Nuland"?!? It should state "The DISHONORABLE Victoria Nuland! !!! European destroyer....
It should say Evil Witch
And so, the americans blew it up. Leaving central Europe in an energy crisis just before winter.
Great allies you guys are.
The crisis is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the sabotage "conveniently" occurred within a day of the new non-Russian pipeline being opened. Not to mention the U.S.'s willingness to sell gas to Europe.
Who needs enemies with wicked 'allies' like that?
@@hongry-lifewe as Germany are increasing trade with China anyway. It’s our biggest trading partner now and also we want to be a observer in brics+ but unofficial. The official minister of Germany actually SUPPORTS the destruction of the pipeline because their puppets.
This should be all over the news, now that the pipelines have been sabotaged.
We wish
USA blew them up. Terrorism.
American media being so silent kinda tells you all you need to know
Republican and Democrat conspiring in congress to commit a war crime. Truly staggering !
Gee I wonder who blew up the pipeline?
It's Russia
It's Russia. They make it LOOK like the USA destroyed it but Nord Stream 1+2 have been partly paid by Germany (Uniper), France (Engie), Shell.....Nato members do not attack Nato members. Who is not a Nato member? Indeed. Russia.
I get it. But remember, there are Americans reading your comment. You’ve asked an extremely complicated question. So complicated.
Squirrel! SQUIRREL!!!
@@kirkha100 'Twas an UFO coverup!
@@mmom4754 CIA bot spotted.
this aged well... very well!
This stuff should be all over the news. Instead, the mainstream media ignores it and/or blames Russia without proof.
These people are monsters.
Our government sucks. One fool after another
Ain’t that the truth.
Kamala after Biden, and even after that is Pelosi.. the scaryness of those 2 old liars running the country whoa!
@@dertythegrower Hey, are we fighting today or attacking both sides? You know what I’m about. Also, happy holiday no matter what we say or don’t to each other today.
We need to clean our own house before we start demanding other people clean theirs
So, because we're divided we should ignore geopolitical issues, and not have an active foreign policy?
Your foreign policy should not be to stop free market deals between other countries just to support your own oil companies. Russia put up billions of dollars to build their own pipeline it has agreements with the European countries for natural gas. United States government officials should not be a part of that
@@teebone2157 So wrong. When the "free market" presents a geopolitical adversary the opportunity to put several of Europe's nations over a barrel regarding energy supply, you upset their plans. Really kinda' simple. Secure your allies, keep your opponents jumping.
@Kevin Kirk But Ukraine is not sone little isolated country village. It is strategic to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. You think western Europe wants to endanger energy flows from Russia? Putin doesn't want a war with the west, he's just strengthening his position in the region.
@@teebone2157 And it was Germany initiated Nord Stream 2, so the US is also sanctioning it's so called allies. Way to go!
This brings a whole new meaning to "from ending it permanently" As in blowing it up?
I think us Americans need to stop using the word “United” “unite” or anything of the like. That doesn’t exist here.
Well, we're united w/i our two Party's.
@@feedyourmind6713 Maybe you are but I’m not
@@jstreets1983 So, you're the much spoken of independent? How's that working out for ya'?
@@feedyourmind6713 About that same as everyone else but I get to talk 💩at both sides and have facts to back me up. Moral victory if anything.
@@jstreets1983 Riding the fence can leave one bow-legged, though.
Heres a suggestion why don’t you let Europe make their own decisions on LNG supplies, if the pipeline is shut off by Russia they can also figure that out. US politicians need to focus on America’s economy and needs.
turns out american politicians were focused alright. On sabotaging the pipeline. Scumbags
Yes, it would be nice if they'd start doing that, since this administration seems to be doing the exact opposite.
Easy for the VS to create a war 10000 km from the VS . Do not interfere with European . Russia is also Europe.
By exporting more LNG to Europe. It means more $billions for the US economy (well the private wealth aspect).
As far as certain individuals are concerned. This is no laughing matter. This is the choice between the US having additional leverage, along with many wealthy individuals significantly increasing their net worth.
@@b199er So maybe it's time for the sovereign in the US (my limited knowledge about Democracy tells me: the voters), to ask some questions. Why the elected representatives play wargames in the interest of some private industries. Why building up a massive army and sending them to war with Russia, while the sovereign has to be told why there's no budget left for health care, education etc.? Maybe the voter is not the sovereign, or never was. In that case maybe get a new name for this whole "democracy" thing.
The fact that the question was even proposed about ceasing Nordstream during this Senate Foreign Relations Committee to examine U.S.-Russia policy is mental. US will reap what its sown.
The US overarching policy seems to be they can do what they want and basically destroy anyone who dares fight back. Generally doesn't end well for regimes of the past that tried that, and they all likely thought they were somehow different too.
Russian agression? 😂😂😂 Utter BS!
Reality does not matter to these politicians. Their narrative trumps reality.
Perhaps you should read the NY Times piece just published, complete with recordings, on what Russian soldiers have been saying in calls home from Ukraine.
@@jbarroll1 NY Times is just another paid propagandist.
@@jbarroll1 Agreed as long as everyone watches Oliver Stones 'Ukraine on fire' which documents the happenings in 2014.
Nuland is insane.
She is also involved in the coup in Ukraine in 2014. Search the Nuland-Pyatt telephone call.
I think the correct word is *evil*.
@@stan9011 Extremely cynical and power-thirsty.
She is a Jewish neocon…our government is infested with them….
Prevent the Nord Stream 2 from even being completed. "Rolling back" the pipeline. Legislation towards "*ending*" the pipeline.
No gray area there, is there?
Plain criminals. Mafia exposed.
Nordstream 2 represented a nightmare scenario for US policy planners: Russia and Germany engaging in cooperation outside of US monitoring.
So they just simply blew the whole thing up. And now they try to blame Russia for it (!?!?) This is so ruefully and disgusting I am at loss for words... The USA seem to be the enemy of the world as they are acting....
@@midlifecrisis13 You are correct in your assessment. US has gravely miscalculated here with this attack and they will pay a big price for it.
@@stan9011 Correction Europe has paid a terrible price for it! Gas prices will NEVER EVER be the same for Europe!
Meanwhile Norway, USA, QATAR charge Europe outrageous exorbitant prices while Europe can no longer trade with Russia.
Mind you, from an environmental perspective, natural gas via pipelines is extremely safe and good for environment.
I don't think after this conflict with Ukraine (assuming a peace deal comes into play) Russia and Europe will ever have normal ties again! A shame!
@@stan9011 das werden sie auf alle Fälle.....
@@ABC-ABC1234the Qatar gas we import is one two ways from Russia😂 Germany as a state is now focusing on level up relationship with China. We want to be a observer in Brics+ . Why did the US destroy the pipeline. The pipeline provides gas for half of Europe. Now you in the US will see how many real Allies you have left. We have already 5 anti USA governments in Europe and it will increase in the next years. Africa doesn’t want to do anything with the USA anymore. The next years are going to be hard for The USA. India is now trying to become Number 2 in the world before The USA also.😊
As we hop , skip , and jump into WWIII ?
Smooth Criminals!
what was the actual date on which this unbelievable debate took place?
It was December 2021
Thanks joe b. Wait till the world finds out what you did.
And their party supports action against climate change and are against oil ,gas drilling and oil consumption
The Germans are waking up.
2:50 interesting considering the sabotage of the pipeline.
This is Stupidity every Country has right to do Business with any other country, I can't believe this kind of people, Telme where's the freedom you always talking about,?
And here I was enamored with Ron Johnson's work to expose the covid harms.
I think you meant to say "Ron Johnson."
@@Wildrhody thanks..
@@power2change :)
Same here, Emily. This is really didappointing!!!😡
Same.
This woman didn't get fired after likely overthrowing a democratically elected government in Ukraine/2014 but got a promotion to no. 3 at US State Department, if Blinken and his deputy were incapacitated Nuland would be Acting secretary of state to a president who doesn't know what day it is.
Yes, Nuland is one of the biggest criminals of this time.
@@hongry-life It is eerie how she seems immune from congressional oversight, presumably they'd know more than we do, yet she gets a free pass. They are rightfully circling around Mayorkas etc. but Nuland just keeps getting higher and higher, soon she'll probably be Deputy Secretary, then Secretary then 4th in line to presidency.
@@hongry-life and she seems immune from oversight...even the FBI etc. is getting more oversight than she does despite her apparent role in not just Ukraine but Iraq etc. as well. She may even be the actual string puller given her high but lower profile position in government (less exposure) but seeming immunity from oversight.
@@andrewmckenzie292 I posted an answer to you just now but it seems to be gone in a second of time. Will try later again
I therefor do not expect the FBI to go catch the criminals that are not even hiding their crimes but get even better jobs in politics every time.
"There are many ways to punish russia, but I think the destroying the pipeline will help the big oil lobbyists the most."
Guess we're going to live in an era of random infrastructure sabotages around the globe.
Most americans either dont realize or will not accept this....but every international problem/crisis/war has US (and ultimately Israeli) hand behind it! By every i mean EVERY!!!!! The US citizens are being fooled by successive governments and a few rich elite!
> Guess we're going to live in an era of random infrastructure sabotages around the globe.
Yes and people in formerly first world countries will freeze and go hungry. This is the start of something terrible.
Random or planned?
sen. ron johnson: "taking action that will prevent it from ever becoming operational"
Murderers!!!
I wish our real president was in office 😓
Johnson is no better than the rest, apparently.
Why ?
The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Nord Stream 2 Mike Pompeo tried to stop the line with Ted Cruise 80 Democratic and Republican senators voted to condemn the Nord Stream 2 project.
He's an American politician. What else could we expect?
She KNEW at this point that it would be sabotaged . So, she wanted it to be completed and operating when it would be bombed.
"So wie just blew it up ...."
How about make the under sea cable between us and UK not usable...
This is aging well. I guess blowing up a pipeline is not terrorism if it results in selling more LNG to Europe.
Lol well said
We are not United. Period.
"Our Allies"
😂
Why doesn't Sen Johnson worry about the American people who are in a very good place right now? [I meant to say 'who
are NOT in a very good place right now.'] Edited.
Inflation and begging Russia and Saudi Arabia for oil is not a good place to be in right now and Joe's to blame his policies have put us in the place we are right now.
@Rocky Fjord: I don't know where you live, but here in Pennsylvania we have some of the highest prices for "everything" that I have seen in decades. What is it that makes you say we are in a good place?
Yo, Rocky: Yeah, we never had it so good.
Typo. I meant to say 'who are NOT in a very good place right now.'
Should read the The Horrible Victoria Nulanad
3:00 “prevent pipeline from ever being completed”
Well bad luck. Other countries have the right to engage in commerce.
Apparantly they dont, according to Nuland, Biden and their revolting administration-cronies...
He said the quiet part out loud at the beginning: the uniparty may bicker about incendiary domestic issues like guns and abortion til the cows come home, but endless war is something both sides will always quietly agree on. Johnson just had a debate with his election opponent for one hour and Ukraine/Russia NEVER came up.
So at 3:00 on they discuss "rolling back," Nord stream 2 by ending it permanently. This is flagrant terrorism in discussion. Unbelievable !
This one should be extradited to Germany, Russia, and Western and Eastern Ukraine after this conflict ends.
3:30 3:57 “taking action that will never become occupationally…ending it permanently”
That should read "The Dishonorable Victoria Nuland".
What an absolute joke
Her Pro-Military Industrial Complex career. She’s fired.
It's been said you get the face you deserve at 50. Look at her face.
These warmongers will never see justice fall on them
Open the keystone pipeline Joe !!
Well this aged poorly in light of recent events.
Victoria, zyklon B for yours
Imagine if Russian diplomats were speaking about American citizens like Nuland is in this hearing. Absolutely disgusting and inhumane
How about letting the American people vote on this stuff.
Only Germany and other dependent countries (paying customers) have a say.
Your own countries helped US to sabotage it
Good God, are we falling for this stuff again? Here's your hammer. Pound your own heads.
Publicly debating the option of terrorist action against US ally Germany.
What does the United States have to get involved in what Germany does with Russia?
2:25 **** “Everything is on the table”***
Dieser Schuss wird nach hinten losgehen........was ist, wenn sich Einiges ändert?
And the fingers are pointing at Russia, these people must be laughing 😂😂😂
Only the fools are pointing at Russia.
uh oh!
The pipeline is completed. Where have you been? Nordstream 2 is one of many pipelines coming into Europe from Russia. And what do the French, Dutch and German companies have say to about your sanctions?
Any Gazprom supporters here?
This comment didn’t age well. 😅
"The honorable Victoria Nuland" :D haha
America overestimated its reach here
A shame to call her a diplomat!
That plan didn’t work out!
Riddle: Cattle owners wearing suits, wanting to hot iron any animal in the world. They can't help it, that's what the emancipated peasent does. Anyone who can read and write down his name is a noble, but really, is he fit to rule?
Měl by to vidět premiér ČR a jeho sebranka. Této zemi USA sloužíme a děláme ze sebe hlupáky.
3:19 here is the important part and then 3:44
can someone link the joint german statement for me that nuland is taking about?
Nuland Sullivan and Blinken will get what´s coming to them, it´s only a matter of time...
They don't want a new pipeline while running a 50 year old one. I would think at some point sanity would kick in. I know old stuff was better. There comes a point things just have to get retired or die. The old pipeline is at that point. They know it. If it does fail it will further the oil and gas environmental impact Just not thinking put something new in its place and less likely to have that failure.
A failure who enforce their position.
hmmmm
read the new article that explains how exactly the US Blew up the pipelines... from Reymour Hersh, the detail explained is scary...
There needs to be more safety into the water pollution possibilities. If something breaks, they must have a full plan and funding to pay for cleanup. We all know the sellers are going to try and get out of any cleanup costs and that should be halted and proven safe.
Along that road, all this ng drilling has me concerned.... We are just ignoring the methane, the real threat to us. We NEED cheap energy, but we need clean water more.
Gas production very rarely pollutes water supplies.
It's a gas pipe line
I hope you are outraged now it is evident that the US blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines, polluting the seas around them?
WAT SENATOR IS SAYING IS B.S.!!!
He talks about Russian aggression.....while the USA, my country, since 1964, has slaughter tens of millions all around the world. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and the list goes on and on. Imagine if these tax dollars were spent on something of value in the USA instead of lining the pockets of those involved with the Military/Industrial Complex.
boom. boom.
I hope for karma
American congress to united and survived the problem of homeless in American first . The issues of homeless in American should be a serious issues to tackle . Because they are the people that voted for the president and his administration to represent American citizens . The billions spending on Ukraine would be problems for American in future and Ukraine hate towards American would be worst than IRAN .
No and apply tariffs
Suspended.
I do whats wrong with you work is good misery you will get then. She talks in circles
US have Europe
Is German a sovereign country? 😅😅😅😅
Coming from Japan, also a "Forever Defeated Nation" from which the American military has never pulled its forces, highly doubtful.
Dislike
Europe is in safe hands
😅
EU should have listened to Trump about pipeline. Now the ppl need to scream at their politicians and the USA.
Germany would be in a better position if they ditched the US as allies. Trump had no right to comment on the commercial decisions of another sovereign nation even if the US wanted to steal the market.
@@rachelg785 Trump was right.
@@andreab1144 No, he wasn't. Russia was a reliable partner, always was. Germany was in better hands buying their energy needs from Russia. It gave them the competitive edge. Now buying from the USA they pay 5 times more and are subject to US whims and demands. Trump was not right. But at least he would never have ordered the pipelines blown-up. I will give you that.
Trump armed Ukraine and imposed various sanctions, effectively preventing the NS 2 pipelines from being completed. If not for his actions, the pipelines would have been functioning before Joseph Robinette Biden won the Democratic Party's nomination. Let us also not forget that the United States were hysterical about the pipelines well before Trump ever became POTUS, see various outbursts in Congress, as well as Condi Rice's statement of 2015.
Sie muss sich NICHT entschuldigen, weil sie Recht hat, aber als Diplomatin ist sie zivilisiert und fair.
So basically this is a go ahead for Russia to invade....
My heart goes out to all the commenters..I hear you..I'm going to fix it..cause Victoria aint
