This was not about a filibuster. It went up for a vote, which is more than the GOP is allowing on other bills.

Well it's a good thing Democrats are presenting a separate bill that places sanctions on the pipeline along with sanctions against specific members of Russian government and military.

Cruz's Nord Stream 2 sanctions bill fails in U.S. Senate
The U.S. Senate on Thursday failed to pass a bill to slap sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline sponsored by Republican Senator Ted Cruz, a day after Democrats unveiled their own legislation.

CWO4 Terrence Clark Bottomline, sanctions have to have support of allies to be effective. That's the key difference between both bills. Foreign policy and negotiations is a thing; American Exceptionalism is dead. If the EU isn't on board then what, we punish the EU? Good luck with that.

Well, I just recall promises of a united citizenry, the respect of the world, back to normalcy and unicorns sprinkling pixie dust. As far as American Exceptionlism, it is comatose presently, but there is an easy path to getting it back on its feet.
