Funny how all environmental concerns were cleared before building Nord Stream 1 in 2007. Now Nord Stream 2 which is just an extension of NS1 is supposed to suddenly causing environmental issues?
Sounds bogus! More rational explanation is that the "Leaders of the Free World" are mobilizing all available powers both "hard"(threatening and probably balckmailing politicians) and "soft"(spreading propaganda using MSM and sockpuppet NGOs) to prevent more economical partnership between Russia and EU.
Indeed! What we have learned from this is nothing new; but it has cemented the stone even further. We should be even more wary of the politicized nature of these NGO's as they attempt to influence geopolitical decisions of such an immense scale. That there are still claims that they aren't government-affiliated at this point is just absurd.
