What is a sanction and why did Biden remove them?
Sanctions can be economic-commercial measures, financial measures, or individual sanctions such as the prohibition of entry into a State or the freezing of assets.
Trump had imposed sanctions to target firms building Nord Stream 2. The pipeline was considered a security risk to Europe, as Russia could control the gas supply to Germany and the rest of Europe.
Dopey
@Hornet thinks Germany wanted the pipeline, but last year Germany halted the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in light of Russiaโs incursion into Ukraine.
So letโs recap. During Trumpโs administration Putin did not invade Ukraine. Months into Bidenโs administration, Russian sanctions were dropped and Russia invaded Ukraine. Coincidence?
The hilarious thing is, many are saying the recent Nord Stream 2 pipeline explosion was caused by the US. If thereโs any truth to that, it means Biden (or the people who control him) realized how important it is to stop Russian control of Europeโs gas. Something we all knew.
But, I guess, they made all their back room deals, and everyone pulling the strings got rich.
At this point, Hornet has proven to be one of the stupidest people in this forum. He is wrong on everything.
