Biden goes to bat for his son.

Russia pipeline project to pump gas to Germany under the Baltic sea is a bad deal for Europe that would destabilize Ukraine, US Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday.

I used to think that is was only the Republicans that were corrupt. Boy did I find out different this this election season.

"From our perspective, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a fundamentally bad deal for Europe," Biden said during a visit to Stockholm where he met with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven.

"To lock in great reliance on Russia will fundamentally destabilise Ukraine," Biden said, adding: "Europe needs diverse sources of gas."

V.P. Biden is correct in this. Putin already shut off the gas to the Ukraine to try and get his way. Putin acts like a mobster.

Ukraine has a history of theft of gas and also non payment.

And Biden is clean. He acts with propriety.

Not that Russia would ever fleece Ukraine with price gouging.

I give Obama credit for not yielding to those close to him who are calling for "hot" response in Ukraine.

He probably recognized their true interests.

This one is bald, no need for the regular lobbyists.
