German Foreign Minister: US trying to push Russia into a corner

42
German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel runs the risk of invoking the wrath of the Western press and becoming on par with other “Kremlin agents”. According to Gabriel, it is necessary to work out the issue of a possible phased lifting of anti-Russian sanctions. For this, in the opinion of the head of the German Foreign Ministry, it is necessary to link the lifting of sanctions with specific points of the Minsk agreements.

RIA News quotes Gabriel's statement:
In accordance with the EU decision, the Minsk agreements must be executed on 100% before sanctions can be lifted also on 100%. I think this is not feasible. It would be correct to gradually lift the sanctions in order to show that we should move towards peace. Despite the fact that much now speaks against this, I advocate a new Eastern policy and a policy of detente.


German Foreign Minister: US trying to push Russia into a corner


Sigmar Gabriel allowed himself more criticism of the US lawmakers who are promoting a new sanctions package against Russia. Gabriel noted that US foreign policy "is becoming a continuation of their economic policies." The German minister said that the actions of the United States are aimed at "driving Russia into a corner, pushing Russian gas out of Europe."

Gabriel:
They are thus trying to get the Europeans to buy their gas instead of Russian. But this will not work.


According to the German minister, everyone needs to put himself in the place of another. Sigmar Gabriel:
Everyone is talking about Putin, his wrong policy. But Putin believes that it was the West that let him down by starting negotiations on the Ukrainian Euro-Association without taking into account the interests of Russia.

          This will give a complete reformatting regarding the events in Ukraine itself, and hope for the people to overthrow the junta. The “bell” was about the formation of a new Ukrainian state in the southeast with the declaration of successor of Ukraine from the moment of the illegal seizure of power by the Bandera junta.

          Now it’s clear: why McCain has always been so hysterical - just the brain was ill him :

          "NEW YORK, July 20. / TASS /. Doctors diagnosed with Senator John McCain (Republican, from Arizona) brain tumor. This is stated in a statement published on Wednesday on the legislator’s website. According to the document, on July 14, surgeons at a medical center in Phoenix (Arizona) successfully performed an operation to remove a five-centimeter blood clot from McCain’s left eye. The 80-year-old senator is currently feeling well, but will not go about business at least for the next week. "

      Now it is fashionable to talk about corruption in Ukraine, that there is the highest corruption in the world. But the Germans forget that it was they who sold themselves in bulk to Gazprom, it was their chancellors who were fully supported by Gazprom’s money. It was the Germans’s purchase of Russian gas that led to the fact that the Russian government had a lot of money and it began to invest this money not in the development of their own country, but on military adventures, vexing countries that have the misfortune of being close to Russia.

It was the purchase of Russian gas by the Germans that led the Russian government to make huge sums of money and that it didn’t start investing in development own country, and on military adventures, annoying countries with misfortune to be close to Russia.

        Oh, the German Ukrainians woke up ... and blame the whole world for galloping and shouting "Moskalyak ... etc."
        And following the logic of Morm- It turns out that sanctions must be introduced against Germany !!! The whole "civilized" world should blame Germany + Russia + USA for the fact that the citizens of Ukraine jumped !! wassat D.B

    I love the Germans (I have full acquaintances, I live with relatives in the Gaederia) ... Maybe because no one died in our Family? My uncle, from the Parent of the line, died of wounds after the war already ...
    Invincible, incomprehensible and strong in branche Lord our God! You, according to Your mysterious fate, send to the ovom the Angel of death under his shelter, the ovom in the village, the ovom on the sea, the ovomuzha on the battlefield from swearing weapons, spewing out terrible and deadly forces, destroying the body, dissolving the members and crushing the bones of the soldiers; we believe, as in Thine, Lord, a wise look, such is the death of the defenders of faith and Fatherland.
    We pray to you, Prelative God, commemorate the Orthodox warriors in your kingdom, to the battle of the slain, and take them to your heavenly chamber, like wounded martyrs, stained with your blood, like those who suffered for your Holy Church and for the Fatherland, if you blessed yours, as your property . We pray to You, accept the soldiers who have departed to You in the host of the howls of the Heavenly Forces, accept them with Thy mercy, who have fallen in battle for the independence of the land of Russia from the yoke of infidels, as if defending the Orthodox faith from enemies, protecting the Fatherland in difficult years from hordes of hordes; remember, Lord, and all who, by the good deed, labored for the ancient Apostolic Orthodoxy, for the sanctified and holy language, the Russian land chosen by You, and the enemies of the Cross and Orthodoxy, sacrificed fire and a sword. Accept with the peace of the soul Thy servant (names), who have militant for our prosperity, for our peace and tranquility, and give them eternal repose, as if saving the city and weight and protecting your Fatherland, and have mercy on the Orthodox soldiers who have fallen upon your mercy, forgive them all sins, in this life committed the word, deed, knowledge and ignorance. Look at Thy mercy, O Most merciful Lord, upon their wounds, torment, wailing and suffering, and attribute to them all this in your good deed and pleasing to You; accept them with Thy mercy, burdensome sorrows and hardships of the priyah, needy, cramped, labor and vigilance, smooth and thirsty, exhausting and exhausting enduring, impute the former as a sheep of killing. We pray to you, Lord, that their wounds be their medicine and oil, poured out on their sinful sores. Take a look from heaven, God, and see the tears of the orphans, who have lost their fathers, and receive the prayers of their sons and their daughters tender for them; hear the prayerful sigh of fathers and mothers who have lost their children; hear, in gracious Lord, the inconsolable widows who have lost their spouses; brothers and sisters crying for their relatives, and remember the husbands killed in the fortress and in the color of the years, the elders, in the strength of spirit and courage; look at our heart's sorrows, see our complaint and have mercy, Prebladiy, to those who pray to you, Lord! Thou hast taken away our descendants from us, but do not deprive us of Your mercy: hear our prayer and receive graciously departed to You Your servants whom we remember (names); call them to your palace, as a noble warrior who laid down his stomach for faith and the Fatherland on the battlefields; receive them into the host of your chosen ones, who have served you by faith and truth, and repose them in your kingdom, as martyrs, who departed to you wounded, wounded, and in terrible torment betrayed your spirit; instilled into Your holy city all thy servants we remembered (names), like noble warriors who courageously labored in terrible branehns that we remembered; the vestments of their tamo in fine linen were bright and pure, for they had whitewashed their robes in their blood, and the crowns of martyrdom; create them mercifully with the participants in the triumph and glory of the victors who fought under the banner of Your Cross with peace, flesh and the devil; Lead them in the host of glorious martyrs, kindly martyrs, the righteous, and all your saints.

In general, the German is right, Europe and Ukraine began to carry out European integration without taking into account the interests of Russia, the sanctions do not lead to anything good, the European business loses and tries to get around them, well, the Americans are pushing their "cheap" gas when Russia is near by. flow, their jobs, etc. So denyuzhki they consider and these sanctions are not in their bones! wink

      No, well, in the 90s, all the former republics, after parades of independence, opened their mouths - "Russia GIVE." This is a clear infantile affair. But at that time, Russia itself was breathing. So at that time there was nothing to twitch in Russia and there was nobody - shock and coma (toz) ... If there was anyone and what to twitch, the USSR would not fall apart. After all, no one left the republics or Russia in the winter of 1991-1992 to defend the USSR. That is, there was no real power for the USSR, children of all ages didn’t count, it was not power, it was incapable people. At that time, politically incompetent people of all ages dominated in the USSR, including hut-hijackers, and only a few few, but arrogant predators took advantage of this, hence the total atmosphere of the zone in the 90s ... The rest are fantasies of infantiles that hung in the clouds of fragmented consciousness, post-sectarian withdrawal, a syndrome known by psychologists ...
      So the story began with the 1999 NATO aggression in Yugoslavia and the advent of Putin. 9th company in Chechnya -
      the beginning of real statehood ... These all events are connected ... It was precisely in 1999 that Russia saw a real threat to its existence precisely from external forces and began to self-organize in a really capable state ...

    (Despite the fact that now there is much to say against this, I stand for a new Eastern policy and a policy of easing tension.)

    Indeed, Gabriel’s words will be followed by shouts not only from overseas, but also from his associates in the EU and in Germany itself. If we take into account the "tension" in Germany’s relations with the USA and France (the struggle for leadership in a united Europe), then Gabriel’s proposal is "on hand" to Trump and Macron against Merkel. We remain observers of the course of the bullfight. Yes
