German Foreign Ministry: US anti-Russian sanctions threaten German interests

New US anti-Russian sanctions extend to gas pipeline projects with German participation, threatening Berlin’s interests, said German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, speaking at a foreign policy forum traditionally organized by the Korber Foundation.

He called for a review of European and German policy toward the United States and more confidently upholding their own interests. According to Gabriel, under Trump, the United States "weakly" plays the role of a globally significant political force. "At the same time, Washington begins to perceive Germany as" one partner out of many. "

Unconditional, with which we perceive and maintain the role of the United States, despite occasional differences, begins to collapse

- stressed the Foreign Minister.

According to Gabriel, in the future, Germany should be more confident in representing its own interests and “hold the red lines beyond which partners should not enter.”

In early August, Trump signed the law, which, in particular, gives the president the right to impose sanctions on individuals who invest in the construction of Russian export pipelines more than five million dollars a year or a million dollars at a time. The document specifically states that the United States will continue to oppose the project "Nord Stream-2", reports RIA News

usually only the "former" have such an epiphany, the Germans themselves wrote to the vassal position of the states, so let them enjoy their position ...

1945 year. and incriminating evidence on almost all managers. Merkel the brightest example

[Sofa General]

I didn’t understand something: this character ALREADY stepped down or is going to leave it?

So he is essentially the "former." His term as German Foreign Minister is about to expire.

... the Germans themselves scribbled for a vassal post of states

Yes, it did, Grandma Merkel tried to "rock" against the states with a clever word ... the consequences were not long in coming. At first, Siemens almost ceased to exist, and then the Volkswagen was tightly bent by as much as 19 lard of Baku rubles. It is clear that both companies will have to break the state loot, otherwise - kirdyk! Such an opinion is dear to the Germans now, so they say it quietly so that the staff members do not hear a whisper, but you never know ...

[prior]

Starts to reach.
It was always believed that the Estonians reached the slowest. But it turns out ......

Something with sanctions has been too much lately. On whom only they did not impose .... More modest need somehow.

nothing more to do. there are no other levers. and this is by pattern

[irbis0373]

These are just words. But when the Germans really move on from understanding their vassal affiliation to defending their own interests, then there will be norms.
In the meantime, these expressions are nothing more than words and nothing more.

[NF68]

In the meantime, these expressions are nothing more than words and nothing more.

Gazprom and the German concern BASF, despite the pressure of the Americans, nevertheless exchanged assets. And this can have very unpleasant consequences for the United States, if not in the coming years, then in the future for sure.

[dr.star75]

The Germans will defend their interests. In future. Far future ....

[Sofa General]

Yeah, and in front of the Arabs, blacks - whom are they still importing tons to themselves?

[dr.star75]

The theme of the Arabs is a bit bloated in the media, ours also threw a little kerosene, but the Germans almost digested them. But to object to the United States, here they are weak.

[Alekseits]

The Germans by that time will be gone. There will be Africans and Asians.

[askort154]

In Germany, the Foreign Ministry is sane. Steinmeier held similar views. Now, officially, Steinmeier has power in Germany. Let’s see if common sense can defeat the American “guardianship” so tired of the Germans. To stifle Nord Stream 2, the Americans are no longer able to. And this is an indicator!

[Berber]

Poor Sigmar. He is now an enemy of the United States.

[Sergey824]

About nothing. This is not the first foreign minister to have said such a thing. So what? Art for the sake of art. Just words, gave it.

[pvv113]

in the future, Germany should more confidently represent its own interests

It took a long time for the Germans, and we laugh at the Estonians

[Going]

These are their modest attempts to cast their vote, it can cost someone dearly.

[pvv113]

Yes, but before they were silent, they stuck their tongues

[Going]

It’s just that many began to realize that it was time to free themselves from the occupation, but as they did not yet fully understand, the United States would not leave so easily.

The US won't just leave

And not everyone dares to invite the Americans to leave

[Going]

According to Gabriel, in the future, Germany should be more confident in representing its own interests and “hold the red lines beyond which partners should not enter.”

Now, specifically the message is not ambiguous.

[pvv113]

Americans will not understand

[Going]

It's all a matter of time, perseverance and help.

[pvv113]

I agree, we will hope for the time and mind of the Germans

[Going]

They would decide, we would help, for the United States it would be a disaster.

[pvv113]

In general, do you hint that for a good start they expect from us a strong kick in the right direction?

[Going]

If only the Germans decided.

[pvv113]

I think they should

No, combine our capabilities.

Hello Vladimir.
May be. And we are already "helping."

[pvv113]

Good evening, Leo! The Germans also seem to be guarantors, but so far they have turned a blind eye to the tricks of Ukraine. Maybe the truth is something will change now

[Going]

Quote: pvv113

I think they should

The USA has squeezed their elite and has compromising evidence on many; a breakthrough is needed.

[pvv113]

There are adequate politicians in Germany, for example, Sarah Wagenknecht. There would be more

[Going]

Sarah yes, but it is being jammed to the fullest by the internal elite, and yet the process is ongoing.

[pvv113]

We will be optimistic!

[SCHMEL]

According to Gabriel, in the future, Germany should be more confident in representing its own interests and “hold the red lines beyond which partners should not enter.”

Do you say red lines? Red Lines in Germany:

[Sergey956]

Really stupid Europe did not understand yet that sanctions against Russia are the second plan. The main direction of sanctions is Europe with its Euro, which greatly undermines the hegemony of the Dollar in the World. Well stupid Europeans! Suffice it to recall the story of how it all began.

[NF68]

Then there are 2 of the main directions, since China is also dangerous for the USA, but if the Chinese decided to build their new "silk road", they are very persistently trying to do everything in the best possible way and so far everything is going to that.

[NF68]

Well it is necessary. Representatives of the German government not only began to open their eyes, but at times they also decide not to agree with what the United States is doing.

[bondxnumx]

It's time to send the states to hell))))) Tired of the Germans already pay sanctions, it's high time))))))
