A Fox News anchor had to remind Sen. Marsha Blackburn that a recently completed Russian gas pipeline to Europe is not actually operational and, therefore, does not provide any current revenue to the Russian government
After saying that the U.S. needs to pick up its production and “return to being a net exporter of oil”—America isand exported more petroleum than it imported last year—Blackburn once again demanded that action be taken against Nord Stream 2.
“You have to make certain that our allies and our partners are not buying oil and fuel from Russia,” she declared. “That is going to be an imperative. And go back and put those sanctions on Nord Stream 2. What would send the fastest message? Putting sanctions back on Nord Stream and say we are not going to let you do that.”
At this point, Smith wanted to know if Blackburn was confusing Nord Stream 1—a long-existing pipeline that carries Russian gas to Europe—with Nord Stream 2. “But some say that was not even a revenue source to begin with, that the gas wasn’t even currently flowing,” the Fox News anchor noted. “Are you saying Nord Stream or Nord Stream 2?” Smith added. “Because that was not money in Putin’s pocket to begin with.”“Sandra, what it does is provide certainty as to where we are going to be,” the Republican senator responded. “And that is vitally important to do.”
