Former President Donald Trump was accused as a foreign agent working at the behest of Vladimir Putin and Russia for the last five years. In some cases, people meant that rhetorically while in others, they were dumb enough to mean it literally.
And now it turns out that Joe Biden was the one who should be accused and not Trump since he’s far softer on Russia than the media ever accused Trump of being.
Ted Cruz responded to the news of the sanctions being lifted that will allow the Nordstream 2 pipeline to finish construction. Words were not minced.
Hat tip to Breitbart for the transcript.
CRUZ: Sadly, I can’t shed a lot of light on it. It’s crazy what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing.
On day one in office, Joe Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline. He destroyed 11,000 jobs, high-paying jobs, including 8,000 union jobs.
Then Biden sat by and allowed Russian hackers to hack the Colonial Pipelines, producing gas lines up and down the Eastern Seaboard. He did nothing to defend it. He sat by while they paid a ransom to hackers.
And now, his reward to Russia for Russian hackers shutting down a major infrastructure pipeline in the Eastern Seaboard, is today he signed a waiver greenlighting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a pipeline from Russia to Germany.
Congress has twice passed bipartisan sanctions to stop this pipeline. I authored those sanctions. We stopped it. For a year, it was shut down. It was a piece of metal at the bottom of the ocean. Putin began rebuilding the pipeline right after Biden was elected. Today, he issued a waiver.
And basically what Joe Biden has decided is pipelines in America, bad.
Jobs in America, bad. Pipelines in Russia, good. Jobs in Russia, good.
And this is exactly backward. It is asinine. And four months into it, Joe Biden is crawling in bed with Putin and Russia and the enemies of America. It doesn’t make any sense.
Opposition to Nordstream 2 had previously been bipartisan. That’s how the sanctions passed two times prior in the first place. Enriching Russia while at the same time spending billions on NATO is a counter-productive strategy, yet that’s exactly what the Biden administration is doing. Further, if Germany wants to be defended from Russia, they have no business getting into bed with Russia for their energy needs. That would seem like absolute common sense but rarely does anything in Europe make sense these days.
Cruz is correct in pointing out how asinine all this is. He’s also correct to question Biden’s motives. Why is the current president so eager to nonsensically remove sanctions from a figure he accused of murder a few months ago? Is Putin not still bad? What changed? Someone should probably look into that along with why Biden is lifting sanctions on Iran as well. After all, we know Biden’s son was getting millions from a Russian oligarch in Moscow. Of course, no one in the DOJ seems keen to figure out why.
Our current foreign policy has reverted to the Obama-doctrine and disastrous results have already followed and will continue to follow unless something changes. We are have seen what coddling Iran and funding the Palestinians has done to the Middle East in the last several months. An emboldened Russia will just lash out further as well. Heck, I’m old enough to remember when “protecting” Ukraine was enough to impeach a president over.
It make’s perfect sense, job has been paid off by china and russia and needs to be held accountable. joe was an illegal vp and now with the help of the dominion machines, he’s a fraud illegal man like obozo in America’s highest office.
