After four years of “what does Putin have on him” and “how would this administration be any different if Putin were calling the shots”, the party responsible for all that treasonous garbage seems to be doing everything possible to help Moscow while screaming America and our allies.
After trashing Keystone, it’s lobbying for Putin’s pipeline to Congress even as it’s killing an Israeli-Greek pipeline to Europe.
The US no longer supports the proposed EastMed natural-gas pipeline from Israel to Europe, the Biden administration has informed Israel, Greece and Cyprus in recent weeks.
State Department officials conveyed the new position to the Foreign Ministry, a diplomatic source in Jerusalem confirmed Tuesday. The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the matter.
The reversal of position from that of the Trump administration was first reported in Greece earlier this month.
It’s about the “environment”.
“The American side expressed to the Greek side reservations as to the rationale of the EastMed pipeline, [and] raised issues of its economic viability and environmental [issues],” a Greek government source told Reuters.
What’s wrong with EastMed and Keystone that isn’t wrong with Russia’s NordStream 2?
The whole thing wouldn’t be complete without the Biden regime kowtowing not to Russia, but to the Islamist regime in Turkey which has a history of occupying and massacring people in all three of the Judeo-Christian countries involved.
Turkish state media channel TRT last week aired a documentary opposing the EastMed pipeline titled The Pipe Dream, which includes footage of State Department Senior Advisor for Energy Security Amos Hochstein discussing the matter before he was appointed to his current position.
Hochstein said he would be “extremely uncomfortable with the US supporting this project” because of its environmental implications.
“Why would we build a fossil fuel pipeline between the EastMed and Europe when our entire policy is to support new technology… and new investments in going green and in going clean?” he asked. “By the time this pipeline is built we will have spent billions of taxpayer money on something that is obsolete – not only obsolete but against our collective interest between the US and Europe.”
Our “collective interest” apparently includes a Russian pipeline to Europe, and appeasing Erdogan in Turkey, but not a Mediterranean pipeline.
So what do Iran and Erdogan have on Biden and if Islamists were sitting in the White House, how would our foreign policy be any different?
Infidel says
I don’t think that they necessarily have anything: it’s just that he likes letting Ilhan Omar write his foreign policy
If islamists were sitting in the White House, we would openly declare war on Israel, Greece, Armenia and any other country that dared question the islamization of any region in the world. That’s how our foreign policy would be different!

Always count on Biden to get things ass-backwards. The man is a travesty. Unfortunately, and due to massive fraud in the 2020 election (examples being Democratic governors and state supreme courts changing election laws when, per the Constitution, only state legislatures have this right) this total POS is now the bogus POTUS.
It’s like first century B.C. Rome all over again—complete breakdown of the constitutional order and all that. And the Giant Nothing which is Biden is at the center of this. Indeed. I loathe the man but I loathe even more all the millions of fools who ACTUALLY voted for this POS, never mind all the fake votes he got.
Hey, if Biden can question the upcoming 2022 elections, as he has, and if Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter can question the legitimacy of Trump’s 2016 election, which they have (Hillary, that bitch, to CBS Morning News in 2019 and Carter to NPR also in 2019), then people like me with an infinite amount of more evidence can do so about the 2020 election.
In brief, not only is Biden a doofus POTUS, he is an illegal doofus POTUS. Biden now represents the nadir of American political history. His fake Presidency is dispositive of the single greatest political crime in all of American history. Let’s Go Brandon!.

Tragically, 100% true.

Biden Against Israel Pipeline to Europe, Fine With Putin’s Pipeline
…………..
Just so long as it hurts the West…
JI says
Biden probably thinks he can ally with the Islamic world against Israel and any American allies, to form a super, mega-totalitarian state run by the Democrat party.
Westman says
“By the time this pipeline is built we will have spent billions of taxpayer money on something that is obsolete – not only obsolete but against our collective interest between the US and Europe.”
So intelligent! Much like like canceling your car insurance. Assuming nothing will happen such as Ukraine extorting the EU for a desired policy. Betting that some yet-to-be-created 24/7 reliable source of electricity will replace the EU reactors that were shut down after Fukushima.
This is a stupid “kicking-against-the-pricks” maneuver to hurt Israel that will drive Russia into an invasion of Ukraine. It is so obvious that Russia will invade to guarantee that a corrupt (our government’s description) Ukraine cannot turn off the gas to the UK whenever it wants to damage or control Russia.
This Biden administration can’t understand why Russia would invade when it has received back-channel info that Ukraine won’t be in NATO. The admin apparently doesn’t understand economics, handing Ukraine more control over gas into the UK – inadvertently promoting war.

I don’t know if Donald Trump ever micturated on a prostitute but I do know for certain that Joe Biden has crapped on the Constitution.
Eva says
And why exactly is it sleazy joe’s business?
Answer: It isn’t.
We know he’s doing this because he hates Israel, and rolls over for any communist or moslem that happens to be passing, but I hope Israel, Greece and Cyprus tell him to take his objections and roughly place them where they will do most good.
Walter Sieruk says
A new fitting title for this bogus US “President” would be “Joe Biden the horrendously awful.”
Ben says
He’s anti Israeli and American pipelines
GreekEmpress says
It’s in keeping with reversing good things Trump did for the country.

Tim says
I can’t quite decide, is Bitme a worse POTUS than Obama? I mean Obama has ISIS, Iran, Libya and Egypt (the Brotherhood) on his tally sheet. The one thing I do know is, if Jimmy Carter keeps on living there’s no telling how far up he will move away from the worse POTUS podium.
Tim says
OH yea, I forgot to thank Mr. Greenfield for introducing me to “micturating”.
OLD GUY says
Always count on Biden’s having their hand in the cash register. Joe’s been doing it for years, no reason now to let a good opportunity slip by.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden and his regime is an abomination to the Office of the Untied States Presidency and the the US constitution and a catastrophe for America and a disaster for the American people.
Likewise, Biden is a calamity for the nations of Europe and well as for the State of Israel
Violet C says
I hope Israel tells the fake president to stick it up ……oh you know the thing.
