Great News for EU! US Threatens To Expand Sanctions On Nord Stream 2 As "russia" Moves To Complete

Re: Great News for EU! US Threatens To Expand Sanctions On Nord Stream 2 As "russia" Moves To Comple

It did what it was intended for but would not work against individual people.

ZyklonB can easily be transported and handled without danger. But once its opened and activated its a gas and would kill evryone around.

To kill a single target person, you need a contact posion that only afects that one person. Tabun for example can be used as a form of oil.

You folks didn't use it on only one person? Surprise, surprise...
 
Re: Great News for EU! US Threatens To Expand Sanctions On Nord Stream 2 As "russia" Moves To Comple

Your orange goon in chief yesterday said himself that NS II cant get cancelled


"'Absolutely,'' Trump said, indicating his support for a potential German withdrawal from the massive energy deal with Russia.

''But I don't think Germany is in a position right now. Because Germany is in a very weakened position energy-wise. They are closing all their plants, they are closing their nuclear, they are closing their coal, they are closing a lot of plants. And they have put themselves in a very bad position, frankly, very very bad position,'' Trump said."

You know you're desperate when you are quoting Trump the Ignoramus as the authority.

Because as you noted the old Ukrainian pipeline will likely carry the 55m cubic meters of natural gas that isn't going to pass through the Nord Stream II pipe that slud going into home plate in Germany while stopping short several feet from the plate. Embarrassing isn't the word as humiliation seems about right. So close and yet so far.

Plus the Baltic winter storm season in moving in this month, through February, the average being 8 major storms, 4 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes.

Try again later if you can convince your 100 German contractors not to sue you for breach of contract among other vital matters such as compensation. Cause it's not like NS 2 got arrested by an act of God izzit. Indeed abandoning NS 2 now in hopes of a miracle later is a policy decision agreed by hapless mortals.

Pipeline work got stopped in December by USA sanctions so that's 9-10 months already of nothingness. Two periods of suspension from this point are being hashed about, 14 months and 24 months. So we'll need to wait some while to see what the do-over might look like if it ever occurs.

You get laughable now. There are no hurricanes in the Baltic. Never, its simply to cold. Last hurricane in the baltic was propably 31 million years ago, when we had tropicaal climate here.

As for the rest of your bull****, good that you finally accepted that Germany will buy and pay that russian gas

Yes the Russian gas that will transit to Germany via Ukraine.

In other words Germany and Russia got screwed by US sanctions that stopped Nord Stream II given the entirety of NS 2 was to screw Ukraine, screw Poland, the USA, the Baltics, eastern European countries to include US Strategic Partner Romania and, in the end, the whole of the EU.

I'd already posted that within months of the US sanctions however Putin had to sign a new gas transit deal with Ukraine through 2024. This is because when the sanctions began in December Putin found he had painted himself into a corner so he had to make a new deal with Ukraine, which is the opposite of what NS 2 was intended to do, ie, screw Ukraine. Putin agreed to pay a fixed fee regardless of volume which looks to go max anyhow now that your precious Nord Stream II is all but kaput.

As to the winter storms in the Baltic, I hope you enjoy them year in and year out in Rostock By The Stormy Sea. The storms are categorized by their strength, ie, as equal to a hurricane. Of course the Baltic is not tropical. Indeed, what I see in your posts now is a lot of disorientation given your baby NS II has come up short of landfall in Germany by 99 miles. Reminds me of the old song and bottles on the wall it does.



Ruszel: Germany is building an energy dominion

According to dr. Mariusz Ruszel from the Rzeszów University of Technology and the Ignacy Łukaszewicz Institute of Energy Policy, Germany joins the energy partnership with Russia to receive gas cheaper than other European Union countries. The Russian Federation can provide them with what no one else can provide, ie a higher price for other European countries. A Russian gas distribution center could be created there for Europe, he said.

As is being demanded now your former chancellor the socialist Gerhard Schroder (SPD) needs to quit working for Gazprom in Moscow which would also remove the Putin hugger from being Putin's personal chairman of the board in the Nord Stream project. I don't hear you on this at all in fact. A black cat in a black forest musta got your tongue.

Nord Stream 2: Who needs the Russian gas pipeline after all?

"Unnecessary, destructive, inefficient"

Russia's primary aim has always been direct access to the huge German gas market, without taking the transit detour via Ukraine and Poland. Christoph Weber, a professor of energy economics at the University Duisburg-Essen in Germany, believes the additional capacity is not really needed. "Nord Stream 2 isn't essential for maintaining Germany's energy security," he told DW. "There is sufficient access to natural gas resources in Norway, the United States and North Africa." Marc Oliver Bettzüge also thinks that the termination of Nord Stream 2 won't open up a supply gap in Europe. By contrast, the verdict of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) is more devastating. DIW's senior energy expert, Claudia Kemfert, told DW that Nord Stream 2 is "unnecessary" in respect to German energy policy, as well as "environmentally destructive and commercially inefficient." Even Russian energy analysts doubt that the project would ever turn a profit for Gazprom, the Kremlin-backed Russian energy giant, she says.



Energy expert Christoph Weber believes that the "tricky issue" can only be resolved in the realm of politics, with politicians having to decide which side they want to be on and with who they want to "forge an alliance." "Personally speaking," Weber says he understands why public calls for ending Nord Stream 2 are rising, because he thinks Germany and Europe, as communities "based on common values," need to stand up for those values. "In extreme cases, tough choices have to be made," he adds. However, it wouldn't be the first time that politicians in Germany shun tough choices, as was shown in the 2018 killing of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi by a Saudi hit squad in Istanbul. Despite evidence that the government in Riyadh was involved in the murder, Germany interrupted its weapon exports to that country only briefly, and calls for ending purchases of Saudi oil have long been forgotten.

Indeed, Putin and Gazprom wanting a euro 10bn pipeline project that will operate without a profit makes clear NS 2 is entirely and completely a geostrategic political and energy security priority in the Kremlin against the EU, Nato, the USA, and nothing but.

Re: Great News for EU! US Threatens To Expand Sanctions On Nord Stream 2 As "russia" Moves To Comple

Merkel is offering Trump a deal of euros 1 bn for Germany to finance construction of two LNG facilities in Germany to receive USA LNG.

Merkel and Putin want the US to terminate the sanctions against Nord Stream II in return.

Fat chance.

Merkel and Putin will need to do a lot more to get sanctions lifted, and Germany is anyway going to have to build the facilities because Germany is one of the few countries in Europe without LNG facilities as it is, so they'll need to build just to catch up.

The German vice chancellor and minister of finance made the offer in a letter to the US Secretary of the Treasury Sept 7. Treasury has always been against sanctions against NS 2 which is why the actual sanctions were not applied until December with only 99 miles of pipe laying to go. The sanctions stopped the pipeline at that point and since, with no NS 2 work program in sight as required by the Danish government before work could resume.

SecState Mike Pompeo hasn't said anything publicly about the new Merkel-Putin offer and he's the guy who with bipartisan support in Congress is running the administration's sanctions show.

It's anyway Congress that votes on the sanctions so it's Congress that would decide to continue the sanctions or to terminate 'em. Or to add to 'em. The Defense Authorization legislation still in Conference Committee has more sanctions that would take effect when Congress sends it to Trump.

USA holds all the cards at this point.

Moreover, EU President and former German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said on Sept. 16 in her State of the Union Address: “To those that advocate closer ties with Russia, I say that the poisoning of Alexey Navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off. This pattern is not changing -- and no pipeline will change that.”

Bloomberg news noted further that, "The former German defense minister made the case for a more assertive foreign policy to tackle Russia. She believes it’s wrong to think that pushing ahead with the pipe will improve relations with President Vladimir Putin." In other words von der Leyen knows Putin wants strategic control of EU energy resources and she with the United States is against it.

Re: Great News for EU! US Threatens To Expand Sanctions On Nord Stream 2 As "russia" Moves To Comple

We know from history.

There was Molotov-Ribbentrop in 1939 yet Germany invaded Russia anyway, in 1941, which is what Nazi Germany was always going to do. Hitler left the Russians with only spitballs of paper to throw back at the Wehrmacht.

There was the Munich Agreement by the flake Chamberlain. And so on after the Nazi Germans to include the USSR during the Cold War.

Now there's Putin-Rostocker vs EU, Nato, USA to include Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics of course. German military intelligence knows Putin intends to move against the Baltics, just as Nato knows this and that Nord Stream is a part of what Putin intends to be the energy aspect of his leverage to succeed at it. So yes, to you guys paper is just paper. For sure. I'd simply remind the aggressors however there's paper, scissors and rocks.
 
It seems to have escaped the attention of almost everyone that the sanctions against Nord Stream II pipeline in the Baltic are also in force against the Turkstream pipeline in the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey. Identical sanctions they are, for each NS 2 and Turkstream. Identical results too btw.

The world's premier undersea pipe layer Allseas of Switzerland that pulled out of NS 2 the instant US sanctions hit in December also pulled out of Turkstream the instant US sanctions hit 'em there too. Which was of course in December. Now both of Putin's pet projects of gas export are in intensive care and gone critical. Project life support machines are laboring overtime yet prospects for each pipeline keep getting closer to the end of dayze.


Nord Stream 2 and more sanctions: the endgame begins

American sanctions may suffice to stop the project.


It seemed that U.S. sanctions against foreign contractors involved in construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, imposed in late 2019, came far too late and that nothing could stop the project. Time passed by; construction did not resume. Unexpectedly, the prospects for completing the pipeline dwindled. Nord Stream 2 pipes have been lying idle in the German port of Muckran since late 2019. It has now transpired that the Akademik Cherskiy is not properly equipped. No one wants to insure the vessel either. Yet another pipe-laying contractor meant to finish the pipeline publicly distanced itself from the project. The US Department of State unexpectedly updated its public guidance on sanctions to include persons engaged in [support] activities related to the pipeline project.

The scenario without European sanctions does not mean that Nord Stream 2 can be successfully finished and put into operation: current and future American sanctions can do the job. [Remaining] [v]essels are perceived as ‘toxic’ (the Russian MRTS company, which has been renting the Fortune pipe-laying barge from Luxembourg Maritime Construction Services, recently announced that it does not intend to participate in the completion of the pipeline and has cautiously removed all references to the barge from its website). Companies that have financed construction, such as Germany’s Uniper, or are involved in the certification of the pipeline, such as Norway’s DNV GL, stress that they comply with ‘all applicable laws and regulations’, making it clear that they will not violate the U.S. sanctions regime. Navalny’s poisoning could result in tougher sanctions that would make the final certificate of conformity virtually unattainable.



Last one out turn off the lights plse thx. That would be the United States doing that come to think of it, thx anyway, so forget it cause we've got that covered too -- exactly.
 
EU heads of state will have their scheduled meeting in Brussels on the 24th and 25th, Thursday and Friday so we'll see what may transpire about Nord Stream 2.

The leading figure in Merkel's CDU party to succeed her as leader wants NS 2 frozen, is the word he uses but that's what NS 2 is anyway, since December because of US sanctions.

There's the question of sanctions against Russia for the Navalny poisoning, to include whether sanctions because of the poisoning should be placed on NS 2 which is owned by Gazprom.

Btw we think americans poisoned him. Qui bono.

P.s. your beloved Poles do what they do best, they betray you. Noticing that we are hellbend to not buy american LNG they fall in your back now and say they offer Germany to build a shared pipeline from norway.

As i said, lets wait and see
 
I'm no fan of Russia and I see the risks they pose but the hypocrisy from the Trump administration is just astounding.
Hypocrisy has been the birthmark of American capitalism since its beginning. You can't help but be a super hypocrite when you claim freedom and human rights, while at the same time preserving slavery and coming up with "scientific" and religious justifications for its preservation. Trump, by the way, is less hypocritical than modern Democrats, just as always, Republicans were less hypocritical than Democrats. Although in the end it is one gang of puppets of Capital.

Amazing, isnt it?

German power is basicly unlimited. We hold the EU together and make Putins empire able to exist.

Also thank you to admit, that Putin would never cut off gas from Germany, because he needs our money.

Changing from russian gas to fracked and shipped LNG wount ever happen here. Not only because it is 30% more expensive, it is just dirty dirty stuff.
In Germanny enviromental responsibilty is growing - in the population and nearly any party exept AFD. Not only the greens. I can understand that America cannot understand that, because their land is huge. How could men change anything that big? But believe me, some hurricans, fires and floods later America will take the same path. Let´s hope it´s not too late than.

The USA continues to be the future while your voice comes out of the defeatism of the deep and dark past.

I have lived through a quarter of my country's history while your people and progenitors lived thousands of years without electricity. You can thank the New World for it btw.

Your Old World people -- among all the folk over there -- are still getting used to electricity, central heating, indoor toilets and showers and so on. I consider it encouraging you people are catching on as fast as you are, considering.

Usual bullshit.

The AfD also has environmental responsibility. We just have a different approach. We want change through technology, not the stoneage windmills from the Greens.

We believe in synthetic fuels, nuclear power with new types of reactors.

You know what i see as a big problem buddy? The different political branches reached a point where they dont even talk with each other anymore.

And i blame our side for that as well. No AfD is not for coal mining and hunting migrants out of Germany and i guess not evry Green is a crazy tree hugging pedophile who want transform Germany back into the stoneage.

The day the two political poles start to talk with each other, propably will be the day we can step forward.

As for electricity, it Was developed in Europe (Tesla) and the first electric city illumination was made in UK. Indoor toilets? We had those since roman times.

I don't wait around for this or anything cause things are happening each day in this Nord Stream business and in much else.

The only thing not happening is your pipeline.

Which is why you and Your Pal Polonium Putin have to wait and see. You might want to take off your jacket and have a seat while you're waiting and looking.
