WHAT ABOUT NORD STREAM 2? President Joe Biden announced a series of sanctions yesterday aimed at punishing Russia for election interference and the massive SolarWinds hack of federal agencies and private companies. The sweeping measures imposed sanctions against dozens of people and companies, including the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats.

But missing from the sanctions was any mention of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which, when completed, will transport natural gas from Russia to Germany and increase Europe’s dependence on Moscow for energy.
