I have to admit I was surprised with Germany's suspension of the Nordstream 2 pipeline as they really need the gas, especially this winter.  The Foreign Minister of Russia was quoted as saying Europeans can now expect a significant increase in natural gas prices, which is exactly the leverage Trump told them Russia would have.  And recall, Dementia Joe greenlighted the project as one of his first actions he was told to take as president by whoever is running him.  What we could possibly give them for this is beyond me but nothing would surprise me.

As for his speech, not sure you watched the end where he ignored questions being asked by the press as they were being ushered out of the room, blankly asked what he was supposed to do next and then started to pick his teeth.  He is a sad, pathetic man in an unstoppable cognitive decline and is POTUS in name only.  He is being run by Susan Rice and Ron Klain, neither of whom are trustworthy.  And yes, Xi will be on the move soon and who can blame him?  This is a historic opportunity when our govt is being run by a drooling senile old fool backed up by an even less competent VP.
