Joe Biden was not on this episode. A recording of them was played into it, so these are their words but not an appearance on the Green Blueprint. It still counts as said, and it is kept out of every score on their page.

US President Joe Biden warns Russia of severe consequences prior to the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, specifically targeting the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline connecting Russia to Germany.

Assessment

Then-U.S. President Joe Biden stated that the United States would bring an end to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine. In response to Russian actions against Ukraine in February 2022, Germany halted the certification process on February 22, 2022, by withdrawing its security-of-supply report, and the United States imposed direct blocking sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its executive officers on February 23, 2022. As a result of these joint actions by the United States and its allies, Nord Stream 2 never achieved regulatory certification or entered commercial service, and the project was effectively terminated.

On February 22, 2022, Germany halted the certification process for Nord Stream 2 by withdrawing the security-of-supply report, preventing regulatory approval.
On February 23, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed blocking sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its CEO Matthias Warnig under Executive Order 14024.
Nord Stream 2 never entered commercial operation prior to or during the default horizon or through August 2026.
