No mention of Nord Stream 1? This is like reviewing a movie sequel and never mentioning the original. Nord Stream 1 started in 2008 and completed 2011. Does President Obama share the same blame as Joe Biden?

Thanks, Obama!

No, actually,I don't blame Obama. That was before the Russian invasion, and he could not forsee this new Cold War coming.

I don't even blame Obama for his cautious "non-lethal aid only" policy when the Russians attacked in 2014. It's a decision easy to criticize in hindsight. He also didn't want to overstep other NATO country positions. And domestically he was dealing with a hyper-critical, partisan Congress that tried to tear apart everything he did or said.
