Happy to...that is a situation that was probably avoidable had Chauncy not stuck his nose in it...
How 'sleepy Joe' handed Putin the bargaining chip he is using to hold Europe to ransom in gas crisis: Biden gave the green light to Nord Stream 2 pipeline at center of Russia's threats to cut supplies unless it get final approval
Europe hit by a gas crisis with supplies running low as economies reopen post-Covid, driving prices up
EU has turned to Putin, sitting on the world's largest reserves, to help - but supplies have been held back
Russia's energy minister has now suggested opening the Nord Stream 2 pipeline could get the gas flowing
But experts say current pipes could carry extra supply, and Europe is being held to ransom over the pipe which would mark a major economic and political victory for Putin - handing him more clout on the continent
Pipe was only completed because Joe Biden lifted sanctions on the company constructing it earlier this year

We had this under control...like the border...and in retrospect..he was right again...
Trump has long wanted to kill a Russia-Germany natural gas pipeline. Navalny?s poisoning could do it for him
Thanks to the Kremlin, U.S. President Donald Trump may soon see one of his dearest wishes come true.
Nord Stream 2, a nearly completed project that would pipe natural gas from Russia under the Baltic Sea to Germany, has thus far withstood major diplomatic assaults from the United States. But now, with the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, there is growing pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel to kill the $11 billion scheme.
If Merkel does reverse her long-standing support for Nord Stream 2, as she has for the first time hinted she might do, the beneficiary would likely be the U.S.
?Totally controlled by Russia?
Nord Stream 2 represents the expansion of an existing Russia-to-Germany gas system called?you guessed it?Nord Stream. The original system was completed in 2012. Nord Stream 2, running mostly in parallel to the existing Nord Stream system, would double its annual capacity to 110 billion cubic meters.
Construction on Nord Stream 2 began in 2018, after Germany granted planning permission for its end point in the northeastern German town of Lubmin.
It did not take long for Trump to express outrage. ?Germany is totally controlled by Russia,? he declared during a mid-2018 meeting with NATO top brass. The President tied the matter to his often-stated desire for NATO countries other than the U.S. to step up their defense spending. ?So we?re supposed to protect you against Russia, and you pay billions of dollars to Russia, and I think that?s very inappropriate,? he griped.

President Donald Trump signed a bill last week that would sanction companies working on the Nord Stream 2 oil pipeline from Russia to Germany, prompting a Swiss company to immediately walk away from the $10 billion project. Germany and Russia are not happy; Russia promised retaliation. The threat of sanctions shows how much economic power the United States still has.

'That's progress': Biden insists the worst jobs report of his presidency is a 'significant improvement' and a sign America is 'moving forward' before walking away without taking questions
Biden tried to put a positive spin on the worst jobs report of his presidency
He urged Americans to look at the bigger picture and pushing his infrastructure bills and his trillion-dollar social program
'If you take a step back, look at what's happening, we're actually making real progress. Maybe doesn't seem fast enough - I'd like to see it faster,' he said
'We're making consistent steady progress,' he said
Employers added far fewer jobs than expected for the second month in a row
Economists surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting 500,000 new jobs to be added
Shows the delta COVID variant still has a grip on the economy
Supply chain bottlenecks have also worsened and store shelves are emptying
'Clearly, [Biden's] big government, trillion dollar, socialist plans aren't working. They're just bankrupting Americans,' one Republican wrote on Twitter
'The jobs numbers are pretty good actually...' Biden's chief of staff wrote on Twitter

Because Chauncy was in such a rush to get out that he abandoned Bagram, where the evacuation should have been staged, let lose the very terrorist's that killed 13 American soldiers and has stranded 38 American children in Afghanistan just so he could say he got out before 9/11. Without US support and logistics the end was inevitable and swift to all but President Sniff Your Hair and his spineless Woke General staff.
The L.A. Times:
There are dozens of Sacramento-area families still in the country, according to the San Juan Unified School District. Recently, three families ? including seven students ? made it back to the U.S. But about 38 students are still there.
?We continue to remain hopeful of their safe return soon,? Raj Rai, director of communications for the school district, told me last week.
The nearby Sacramento City Unified School District told The Times that an Afghan immigrant family with three children enrolled at Ethel I. Baker Elementary sought help in fleeing. The students have not yet returned to the school.
