Dumb political question for someone who doesn't understand

Not thru Keystone, but as you know, we have many pipelines. This particular line goes through a native American reservation and that nation initially opposed Keystone. Somehow that opposition was quelled. Not sure how that was accomplished but I believe Trump many have been involved. Similar concerns by various states that were also resolved. Work was in the final stages of completion before Biden killed the project.
As an aside, our best offense against Russian aggression would be to drive down the price of oil by resuming exploitation of our production capabilities. Fracking is also under attack by this administration. By going back to our position of energy independence, we would lower the price of oil and deprive Putin of his ability to finance his agenda. The Biden administration will not likely go down that path even though it would benefit the country. This is a complex problem due to Russia's control of nuclear weapons. I keep thinking about how Japan bombed Pear Harbor in response to our sanctions. Putin is a dangerous guy. Good to see Europe beginning to see the need to seriously rein him in. How he will react is an unknown at this point.

Actually the Keystone does not go through any Native American reservation land. The native Americans don’t give a shit about pipelines and they don’t give a shit about the environment. They just want their $$CUT$$

Look at the Oklahoma reservation. It goes right through the middle of the reservation. In South Dakota, it transits areas that closely boarder the reservations. Technically, you are correct about South Dakota. The Native Americans still claim that land as their own, and have fought construction on that basis. I believe the route was altered to appease their interests.
