Special Report: One of the Nord Stream 2 Pipelines was Undamaged
According to Bloomberg News, the incompetent US military failed to blow up one of the lines of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Germany now has an opportunity to escape the energy deprivation the government has placed on Germany by ceasing to comply with US Russian sanctions and signing off on the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The only question is whether the German officials are paid enough by Washington to sacrifice the German economy for their own self-enrichment.
Of course, the US might return to the scene of its crime and finish off the line it missed, but this might finally provoke some retaliatory action from the Goody Two Shoes in the Kremlin.

GEORGE M CHAMBERLAIN
Explain the “Goody Two Shoes in the Kremlin” comment.
Mary
PCR calls Putin a “goody two shoes” because Putin insists on following international laws.
Imo, PCR’s reasoning shows the problem with US beliefs & thinking. He fails to recognize the advantages of following laws, which (in no particular order):
* Demonstrates trustworthiness to existing & future business partners
* Demonstrates trustworthiness to the population he governs
* Demonstrates trustworthiness to the different factions, from hardliners to soft, within government
This, over time, has enabled him citizens, government & partners to unite behind common objectives.
It provides a stable environment within which Russia could resurrect from the ashes of the USSR. This stability comes from a psychological center of balance.
Ignoring laws leads to the law of the jungle, eg the golden rule where he who has the gold makes the rules. Look at where the US is now. Brink of civil war, zero trust in government, fear of each other, collapsing economy, etc.
