Do Biden’s ‘tough new sanctions’ give Putin Nord Stream 2?
An article by my Hoover colleague Dr. Paul Gregory in The Hill Western media is greeting the Biden administration’s Russian sanctions as “signaling a tougher stance on Russia than under former President Donald Trump.” Vladimir Putin likely thinks otherwise. It looks as if the Biden administration has blinked on Putin’s key foreign policy objective — the completion and operation […]
