This pronouncement of the demise of Nord Stream 2 is by Dr. Benjamin L. Schmitt of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and who is also affiliated with Princeton, Stanford and the U.S. National Defense University. (Schmitt earlier this year traveled to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.)
From 2015-2019 Dr. Schmitt served as European Energy Security Advisor at the U.S. Department of State where he advanced diplomatic engagement vital to the energy and national security interests of the Transatlantic community, with a focus on supporting the resilience of NATO’s Eastern Flank as it faced Russian malign energy activities and disinformation campaigns. While at the State Department, Schmitt also served as the 2015 IEEE Department of State Science and Technology Policy fellow.
The bolded refers to you Rostocker and to Russia and Germany.
The Norwegian energy technology firm mentioned in the quote DNV GL is the world's premier inspection corporation to recommend certification and that pulled out of NS 2 Still Kaput the day after Congress sent the new severe sanctions to Trump in the Defense Authorization Act.
Schmitt: Final USA sanctions will stop Nord Stream 2
Moscow tries to project a false sense of Nord Stream 2 momentum ahead of what are likely the final sanctions actions that the US Congress will take that will de facto stop the project for many years if not for good – argues Dr. Benjamin L. Schmitt, Harvard University, and Former U.S. State Department European Energy Security Advisor.
"The reports that Gazprom announced that pipe construction will continue is in my view a purely public relations move by project supporters. This is because the work announced only encompasses 2.6 km of the pipe route in the German Exclusive Economic Zone that, due to the shallow depth, is not targeted by existing or proposed NDAA sanctions. The deeper water work in the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone is the real hurdle as it is covered by both existing and proposed NDAA sanctions and is not part of what is being announced at this time.
"As a result, I read this announcement as a push by Moscow to manufacture a positive headline after the news from DNV GL just a day earlier, and to project a false sense of momentum ahead of what are likely the final sanctions actions that the US Congress will take that will de facto stop the project for many years if not for good."

Mort.
Another american wine you quote. It gets boring tangmo.
The pipeline gets build, if you like it or not. By law it was declared the most important project of the state and its completion the absolute most pressing issue of thsi grand nation.
What you dont realize and what most of the swines you quote dont understand. We can dertify evrything with a pencil stroke of the chancellor. And with this fund, that was ordered to be implemented today, that is pushed into track.
Denmark is out of the game and complies 100%, since it desperatly needs the tunnel. The danish pm already said, it doesnt matter who certifies it.
Americans wines tend to be not very smart and dont understand Germany. For example their blackmail letter they send to the harbor, claiming they would sanction its shareholders and all that. They laughed about this here, because teh harbor is 100% state owned, there is no alternative around it and thus sanctions mean shit.
Denmark complies and the Poles? They get crushed by us as usual.
Germany started a plan to cut Poland out of the CORONA-Relieve fund, which makes them lose 17.5 billion €
You forgot one of our "cultural traits". Our constant wish for revenge, payback and punishment for those who we see as enemies.
You are in a Dilemma Tangmo and none of your rubbish can solve this. Germany is the 2nd most powerful nation in the west.
Your hateful nonsense against us doesnt change the fact, that if you alienate us as allies, Putin wins and the moment you lose Germany as ally, you cease to exist as player at the table in Europe.
