Behing the EU's back? The project is public since years. The former German chancellor is publicly involved in it.

The project is very much European: lots of countries involved.

Why can't the EU buy gas from wherever we want?

Who is the the US to tell us where to buy our gas from?

Project is so European it goes against interests of 1/3 EU: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Croatia. Its not "EU buy gas from wherever we want", Its Germany making deals with Russia once again, remember Ribbentrop/Molotov? Russia is already hard at work making you forget https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/.premium-after-russian-pr..., buying gas from Russia while bypassing other EU member states.

It's still in the public and debated - even if controversial - quite a difference to blackmail behind closed-doors...

Its neither debated nor in public. It was negotiated in secret and being build as we speak while company behind it prepares to sue EU.
