How Russia's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Plays a Role in the Ukraine Crisis | WSJ 

Trust America, thy have your best interests at heart. Look how they rescued the Iraqi people from the weapons of mass destruction. Work out well for them!

Always confusing Nordstream with NordVPN. 🥴

Europe is a sacrifice America is willing to make

Europe should do what's in THEIR best interest.

Wonderful for USA $$$$ gas production. More money for USA. Start paying more in Europe for LNG from USA.

america try to sell their LNG by telling the customer that their competitor is evil, change my mind

Really no excuse for leading w clip of American President saying he can stop pipeline in the other hemisphere, between two foreign countries, without comment or challenge. Every time a news service pops up a politician up w no challenge or comment. It is the news service normalizing his intent.

Let the German do their own U.S acting like a spoil Daddy

Meh… it is about money. Germany wants cheap gas. USA wants to sell gas. Russia wants max money. Ukraine wants transport fees. Russia needs money just as much as Europe needs gas. It is called capitalism.

1:15 "US efforts to plug the supply gap" phrase sums it up pretty well

Such a bunch of baloney! First, Russian supply of gas has actually increased. Second, let's look at the price increase. Mostly because some other suppliers diverted their production to more lucrative markets like China and South America, partly because some European companies rerouted their gas to Ukraine and Poland and, thus, reducing their own reserves, making nice profit of it. Russia and Europe have a long term contract , so quantities and prices are agreed upon beforehand. So, Russia is not weaponizing gas. I simply don't know who gave US rights to threat with stoping NS2. It's a commercial agreement between Russia and Europe, more precisely, between a Russian and several European companies. Let me remind you, Soviet Union supplied gas to Europe even in the hight of Cold War without any problems.

Why should Europe hurt them self badly just to punish Russia?? Just to please US geopolitical interests ?? People here are struggling with their electricity bills already. Same with gas, gasoline. Inflation is rising fast also. Consumers are already angry.

I fail to understand why the U.S. needs to get involved.

This whole war is about gas and oil isn’t it 😩

they forgot to mention that the usa want to sell gas to Europe to, hahah bad journalism

Who is here after the u.s. blew up the pipelines in September?

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $960,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

To say with Nord Stream 2 will increase EU dependence on Russia is very weak actually. The pipeline can supply as long as EU wants to buy . No one is forcing EU to buy right? So why cut off your flexibility to access to another source of energy ? If EU fear dependence, then quick order from US and just dont sign up for the Nord Stream 2 gas . In emergency you can increase supply for your needs. Simply blaming Nord Stream 2 that will make EU too dependent means EU is not disciplined enough . The pipeline is actually an insurance for EU ... for energy security . Not dependence.

Now this Dobby Vladimir Rasputin just looks like Stalin

Nord stream is not operational at this time.,???

How US Gov play a roll in the war in EU...

Funny to hear Germany will halt certification of pipeline. Germany certifying anything will probably take decades. No need to halt. Think Tesla Plant.

All the countries in NATO have to vote a new country into NATO unanimously. Vote No on admitting Ukraine and let them remain NEUTRAL - it is as simple as that Mr. Putin & Mr. Biden De-escalate the troops and let them go home and hug their parents and families

every nation needs a scapegoat

The United States was energy independent not so long ago. Thanks, Brandon!

Germany decided for green wind and solar energy, thy closed coal and nuclear power plants and are fully depending on Russian natural Gas until they hope to develop new technologies like Hydrogen. Nord-Stream 2 compensates for the increased consumption. Right now 95% of their storage facilities have been used up and the conflict with Russia is rising

I hope russia divert its supply to south east asia. We will happily receive any deals for natural gas to power most of the economies that are developing here

Sorry for Germany , only Biden can make decision for Nord Stream 2 . NOT Olaf Scholz .😅

Awe so thats why Ukraine were shelling donbass to instigate an invasion lol makes sense now. So the germans would cease pipeline (end of video)

"We don't want Europe to be dependent on Russia for energy. We want them dependent on the US" -the truth

Doesn’t the pipeline hurt Europe/ Germany more then it does Russia?? Am I dumb or not understanding their move on stoping the pipeline

in the first 28 seconds . . . =o ..Biden just said -The United States did it. oh boy. =|

Basically US will benefit from halt of nord stream 2 pipeline. I guess Europeans you all need buy expensive US made liquified natural gas and I need buy some stocks that associate to liquified natural gas producers.

Ukraine had to attack Russian separatist regions in the east to provoke a Russian response like we are seeing. If Nord stream two came online, Russia would not need to send natural gas through Ukraine and Ukraine would not then receive billions of dollars from Russia for transporting gas through their country. This would bring the economy in Ukraine to its knees and would remove funding for the military spending.

How Russia's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Play a Role... Wall Street Jo... #NordStream2

Sanctions hmm, crypto anyone

They stopped it alright…

Biden keeps his promises

Buy US LNG stock , US will be benefiting any kind of the war as long as not in America

The U.S. trouble is with Russian gas sales mainly. It is a goal to continue Russia at all costs. It will not go, but the EU is shooting itself in the foot.

What's next? Cannot buy food from Russia?

Oh. Now I see why everyone is pushing for esg.

Most hated man in the world: Putin Second most hated man in the world: Schroeder

wsj picks and chooses there own truth.

Can WSJ make video about volume of US LNG sold to China and that soled to EU? For winter 2021/2022. And at what price they sold it. Pls. I mean if US want to cut EU from the Russian Gas they really need to place themselvs as reliable suplier. Since Russian never even in the darkest moments of cold war, never stop they Gas deliveries to Europe... Maybe this energy crisses is more gready fueld not geopoliticly as someone try to present.

All the Russian pipelines are going to be shut down forever after this.

Petro dollar obviously

wsj,where is advanced technology to make gas from human wastage?

Germany had enough Russian gas coming via Poland and Ukraine but got greedy and wanted to became a gas hub as well hence replacing existing infrastructure- Yamal in Poland and Transgas in Ukraine with Nord Streams. Not only USA and countries in Eastern Europe were warning Germany against Nord Streams, even German foreign intelligence service the Bundesnachrichtendienst was against that project.

Truly informative content, thanks very much for providing it for free. One day when resources allow, I will definitely subscribe

When you poke a bear... What would you expect? Its the US propaganda and Nato is playing in its hand.....

Oof, aged like milk. In more ways than one. Hopefully that mild winter hasn't frozen Europe's feelings toward Ukraine. LoL.

Nice job Brandon .You cacked your trollies in the Vatican now you have emptied them all over Europe .Thanks

Further invade ? Let’s go Brandon

It was Angela Merkel who proposed it. NS2 is a consortium between Gazprom an an EU pool of partners who would be also affected. Putin reminded Scholtz that the long term price it gets is a fraction of the spot market. The convenience of a direct pipeline also cuts out the fuzz and cost of LNG that have a complex logistics. Like oil or coal, not all gas has the same quality and thus energy yield.

So hows this working out now that its been blown up? What's so special about Ukraine?? 💲💲💲💲

Germany should have listened to the Baltic states, they knew much more about Russia than Germany.

Clean Renewable Energy Eliminates All These Problems

while Europe should stop the pipeline, the oil exports to the US keep flowing. I wonder if economy plays a role in this...

Winter is coming Europe, will you be ready?

Why haven't those Russian pipelines been destroyed yet? Why is Pompeo sticking his nose into the affair?

nordstream was crime against humanity.

Surprised this is from Wall Street journal lol 😆

gas for two thousand dollars 2022.Good.

0:29 i think it's 47% it was 40% few years ago

So you can’t depend upon Russia now?

Biden canceled also the keystone pipline

Oil is not the answer, it’s the problem

The problem, as always, is who gets to define the best interest. I, as an individual, know my best interest. That of my family, wife and kids? Yes, when it comes to making a decision, I can talk to them and usually can define the best interest of the family. Best interest of my suburb? Of my city? State? Country? As you go up the scale, you realise the definition of the collective best interest gets more and more muddled. So who gets to speak for Europe's (a continent) best interest? Who gets to say he knows and decides the best outcome for 500 million people of such varying culture, economic status, religion? In other words, WHAT IS Europe's best interest?

This just announced that it is insolvent.

This basically says nothing.

Yes mam, very complicated geopolitics.

i been calling it north stream 2

Ok well its already too late anyway

Germany needs to do what is best for Germany.

Aged well this 0:14 - 0:23

The EU should listen to the US and rely on them instead of Russia.

Well, that dependence ended.

Overtaken by events.

Europe decided to go green, that "green" garbage made dependency on Russia - good job environmentalists!!!

Whatever

They don't have it now so can live without it

让我最惊讶的是挪威参与程度 因为大家要知道北约的秘书长 延斯 斯托爾滕貝格 Jens Stoldenberg 他就是前挪威总理 而且北溪被炸掉最大的获利者就是挪威 因为欧洲被迫要买挪威天然气 当然也会买美国的啦 但最近的最是买挪威 你就知道国际政治的可怕程度。 但这件事情我最大的我觉得最荒谬的是德国的总理消脂 不敢质评。 德国不敢讲话。就可以理解它的压力。 What surprised me the most was the level of Norway's participation, because everyone should know that NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoldenberg is the former Prime Minister of Norway, and the biggest beneficiary of the bombing of Nord Stream is Norway because Europe was forced to buy it. Of course, Norwegian natural gas will also be bought from the United States, but the most recent one is to buy Norway, and you know how terrible international politics is. But the biggest thing about this matter, I think the most ridiculous thing is that the German Prime Minister Xiaofa dare not criticize. Germany dare not speak. You can understand the stress of it. German did not dare to speak. Norway has the most to gain to sell Natural gas to make profit . Most European media kept quiet and did not criticize the USA and Norway. Now all know how dirty and scary western politics is.

Europe is ready to pay double for gas and oil since they have a deep pocket. China will be buying oil and gas from Russia since sections are something from the past. The gray market keeps expanding

Trump warns the Germans about the project but they laughed at him. Now who's really laughing now?

Fill the pipeline with seawater youll find out real fast whos buying the gas all the way back to the gas fields. Only I wouldnt want be be any place close to it. You cant compress a liquid, but a gas will become highly compressed making it very dangerous.

EXTRM GOOD TIME FOR BUYING ETHERUM AND BITCOIN AND HODL!!!!!!!!

Media TRP down on this issue....stop these nonsense..... please show new content...... A joke doesn't smile if it repeated again and again.... thanks ......jai hind. ....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Gazprom announced that it would begin using the onshore facilities of Nord Stream 2 (which the Germans refused to launch) to develop gas supply to the North-West of Russia. A lot of money was invested in the Nord Stream 2 project, with Germany also investing a large amount of money in part of the project. Now the Germans are losing their investments due to the downtime of the underwater part of Nord Stream 2, while Russia will use the land part in the meantime, thus its investments will fully pay off. However, Nord Stream 2 has already paid off for Russia. The protracted history of its construction and non-launch has become an important factor in the rise in gas prices in Europe, which has sharply raised Gazprom's profits in 2021-2022. The current decision on Nord Stream 2 contains another very unpleasant moment for Germany: Gazprom announced that due to the reorientation of onshore infrastructure to the domestic consumer, at least until 2028, the second marine string SP-2 will not be launched. So if the Germans agree to launch Nord Stream 2 somewhere in a year under the pressure of the energy crisis, then they will be able to count on only half of the gas pipeline's capacity. And gas prices will remain very high. Gazprom's decision to use the Nord Stream 2 pipeline for domestic gas supply can be interpreted on the principle of "every blessing," said Mark Goykhman, chief analyst at TeleTrade. "Gasification of Russian territories is an acute problem that has been poorly solved for decades. This is largely due to the high cost of infrastructure construction and the low solvency of the population. For Gazprom, such projects are usually unprofitable or unprofitable. And it was hardly possible to count on the development of gas supply to the North- West in the case of using Nord Stream 2 for export deliveries," Mark Goykhman explained. But in the current conditions, when the highway has already been built, colossal funds have been invested in it, and the future is very vague, there is a direct reason to use the ground part passing through Russia to gasify these territories, the expert notes. This will make it possible not only to improve their condition, adaptability to life, development, but also to receive certain incomes for gas workers and the budget, and create jobs.

the WSJ lady Rochelle vaguely reminds me of Rachel Weisz! like they could be cousins

I see America finally got their way by antagonising Russia through NATO.

Wow, bravo. Nice job!

Thing is I really wonder who gave em the idea (sarcasm obviously usa)

2:33 What are the soldiers doing, trying out for the next generation of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video?!

Is the southern gas corridor a failure? I thought it was created to bypass Russian gas

If Russia goes into Ukraine, the U.S. should go into Venezuela.

Well where's the gas going to come from if Russia doesn't supply it? I'm confused 🤔 No gas?

When you touch the money you do not but the second one infected you

Да мне ваще pohuy, пусть на кулаках выйдут 1 на 1, зачем убивать ребят из-за того что что то не поделили? Они остаются в бомбоубежищах будут пить кофе с булочкой пока молодые парнишки будут кишки на гусеницы наматывать, а их мамы будут ждать их дома с пирожками.

How does Biden get control of a European pipeline ?.
