Columnists Russell Berman and Ricky Gill in an article for National Interest talked about the “pathetic surrender” of US President Joe Biden to Russia. In their opinion, the weakness of the current American leader was the reason for Washington’s two defeats in foreign policy.
First of all, we are talking about the fact that the leader “allowed” the completion of Nord Stream 2, while canceling the Keystone XL gas pipeline and suppressing the oil and gas sector of the United States. The authors of the article emphasized that the country’s energy independence is a thing of the past, which “benefits” Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but undermines national security.
Observers recalled that Biden ran as a “hawk” – a supporter of the escalation of relations with Russia, and promised the Kremlin a tough response “Nevertheless, his administration was an unexpected success for Moscow, and energy policy – the first failure,” they said.
Berman and Gill called Russia’s reaction to the US appeal to the Central Asian states about the possibility of basing American troops there as a second defeat. According to them, Moscow has made it clear that it will not tolerate military installations in Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan, but has offered deployment at its own bases. The authors pointed out that Biden “took this proposal into account”, which was unacceptable under the administration of ex-President Donald Trump.
Earlier it became known that the US administration refused to impose sanctions against Nord Stream 2 against the will of Congress, restrictions will not be implemented during the presidency of the current leader Joe Biden.
In early October, the Danish Energy Agency announced that Nord Stream 2 met the requirements and could begin work. Nord Stream 2 stated that the first string of the pipeline began to be filled with gas as part of testing to achieve the required volume and pressure.
