Politico: U.S. urges Ukraine to stay quiet on Russian pipeline
The Biden administration is asking an unhappy Ukraine not to make waves, as it nears Russia-Germany pipeline agreement.
In the midst of tense negotiations with Berlin over a controversial Russia-to-Germany pipeline, the Biden administration is asking a friendly country to stay quiet about its vociferous opposition. And Ukraine is not happy.
U.S. officials have signaled that they’ve given up on stopping the project, known as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and are now scrambling to contain the damage by striking a grand bargain with Germany.
At the same time, administration officials have quietly urged their Ukrainian counterparts to withhold criticism of a forthcoming agreement with Germany involving the pipeline, according to four people with knowledge of the conversations.

As to what is my take.
This U.S. - Germany agreement is a joke. The following commentary is spot on .... Putin will laugh at Biden and Merkel's farcical Nord Stream 2 deal (Tom Rogan, Washington Examiner).

Merkel’s laughing out loud too.
So, a critical energy agreement with a hostile foreign supplier. Would could possibly go wrong? The good news is, Bad, Bad Orange Man is gone. Happy days are here again and it's back to business as usual, including short-sighted asinine political decisions.
Mustn't have party spoilers like Ukraine pointing out that the emperor is stark raving naked.
Where are we going to?
Fascinating and sad article. Interesting take as usual WNU.
I’m spit balling, but I bet Hunter Biden’s art work has tripled in price since Merkel met with slow Joe. Likely the German embassy has taken delivery of a few crates of his masterpieces. Big Guy gets his cut.
So Biden is destroying your steel and energy independence and industry at home
Boy.. I'm just glad we haven't been attacked with a bio weapon by a hostile nation that pushes blindfolded people into trains.
That would be a doozy wouldn't it?
Destroying your steel and energy capabilities ahead of a military confrontation would almost be treasonous. So, I'm glad suspected pedophile and corrupt traitor to his country, Joe Biden, didn't do this nor participate in a coup and power grab against the will of the people.
So glad none of this is happening and that the US got their steel and oil going.
Phew. Close one
gossip is not fact. not proof.

Benghazi
Biden does have a history of extorting the Ukraine.
