While Biden, unlike Obama, would not score a Nobel Peace Prize solely for his existence, his victory was warmly welcomed in capitals around Europe as a sign that liberalism would vanquish populism ushering in a new era of \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d in the form it was practiced during the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Once in office, however, the Biden Administration has been working overtime in order to dispel any notion of a relationship of mutual respect between two more or less equal allies, US and EU. Instead, Biden officials have acted as if US and EU are a contemporary version of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, two countries with ostensibly separate political systems linked by a personal union in the form of the Emperor (Biden), held together by a common army (NATO) whose main task is preventing any separatism by \u201cHungary\u201d (the EU) and whose foreign policy is made wholly in \u201cAustria\u201d (United States). Events like Brexit merely represent a part of the empire moving from \u201cHungary\u201d to \u201cAustria\u201d for a variety of cultural and racial reasons. In practice it meant that, in addition to Biden replying affirmatively to a court journalist\u2019s question whether Vladimir was a \u201ckiller\u201d and Blinken provoking a major row with a Chinese delegation by informing them the US intended to deal with China from a \u201cposition of strength\u201d, Blinken also issued a blunt warning to European companies working on Nord Stream 2 could be subject to US sanctions if they did not immediately withdraw from the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>J.Hawk<\/strong>, <strong>SouthFront, nordstream 2, germany, oil and gas industry, nato, united states, joe biden, russia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GERMANY\u2019S POLITICAL CRISIS AND THE FUTURE OF NORD STREAM 2 In a Blinken of an Eye The Biden Administration entered the White House accompanied by hopes that it would return to some kind of normal in its relations with the European Union.
