Jesse Watters, a loud-mouthed Fox News commentator masquerading as a journalist, has endorsed the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines by suggesting the same measures might have to be taken against the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline that Russia and China agreed last week to build for shipping gas from Siberia to China. Analysts consulted by South China Morning Post claimed that the pipeline would create a “structural shock” if it begins operations and cause “strategic and market challenges” for the United States, the world’s current largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. Thus, in the minds of madmen like Watters, it’s intolerable.
“Vlad lost his customers in Europe. Now America is selling energy to the French and Germans,” Watters said on the air, last week. “So Putin’s putting down a big ol’ pipeline to China. It’s supposed to be finished next decade and supply 15% of China’s energy. Russia and China are growing closer. ‘Someone’ might have to bomb that pipeline like Nord Stream. Trump’s not thrilled with pooty Poop.”
