In the State Department talked about the consequences of the "Nord Stream-2" for the European Union and the United States

The implementation of the project “Nord Stream 2” will mean large-scale geostrategic consequences for the EU and the USA, RIA News Statement by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Sandra Oudkirk





This will result in massive geostrategic consequences for several generations. Because it affects our partners, it will have an impact on us,
Oudkirk told reporters.

According to her, “it’s impossible to treat this project exclusively as a commercial one, since we are talking about money that will, among other things, come from the pockets of EU taxpayers”.

A representative of the ministry called the worst scenario for the United States "closing the market for alternative LNG and strengthening at the expense of" Nord Stream 2 "of Russian Gazprom - up to the monopolization of the market."

This will put our partners, in particular the Baltic countries, at risk
she added.

Recall that several countries oppose the project, in particular Ukraine, which is afraid of losing revenues from the transit of Russian gas, and the United States, which have big plans to export its liquefied fuel to Europe.

    The EU will be left without expensive LNG from the United States. It is worthy of sympathy ... for both.

      Germany considered the losses, including from possible sanctions by the United States, and made a unanimous decision - to be “Nord Stream”.
      And then there is the emerging economic war of the European Union-USA related to the introduction of tax duties.

      The USA does not have transport and infrastructure facilities.
      The funny thing is, but in order to fully cover Europe’s gas needs, the United States must drive 70 gas tankers a month. And the United States has only 12. There is also a need to pull up networks to 2-3 ports and re-equip the ports themselves on the East Coast.

        Hello, Sergey.
        Yes, funny. But the funniest thing is that the United States, which robbed "Europe", actually appropriated their gold reserves, imposed their discriminatory conditions and taxes on European products, suddenly became concerned about the money of the EU taxpayers. This is not insanity, but a direct mockery of the so-called European partners. wassat

        That's right, but ... if the United States managed to force the EU to phase out gas from Russia, with its replacement by American LNG, then there would be investors and investments in the construction of all the missing infrastructure. I really do not exclude that the builders of this major investment project would be from the States and Canada. For several years, if desired, everything necessary would be done. The fact that for the EU in every sense this LNG would become gold is another story.

      Like Zadornov’s there:"they have it there, everything is like we have in the zone. By the notions! Have you heard a song? ... All because of dibs! And don’t have to soar the octopus. And not only ours. I’ll answer!" - vaunted Western democracy, when 10% of the oligarchs dictate their conditions to 90% of the land, using tools such as, for example, the Armed Forces and only suckers believe that when they go to the polls, they decide something there ... laughing And the USA is generally an ordinary CJSC! The Germans, despite the fact that we are constantly fighting with them, I respect, but if they bend under the Anglo-Saxons in this matter, they will stand on a par with these ghouls!

    Nord Stream-2 is beneficial for both Russia and Europe. It is beneficial due to the ejection from the chain of a non-serious transit country in the form of Ukraine. Well, let the Baltic states buy gas from the United States.

        They call this "competition" ... Intimidation, again, sanctions ... All measures are good, so as not to let anyone into the market. But then they broke off. Let the Baltic states and the Poles suck in their LNG.

    When Europe abandoned the South Stream, the Turks rejoiced and announced that Russia should extend this pipeline to them. And that they will sell to Europe at $ 500 per thousand cubic meters, and they will be very grateful to the Turks for this. Then this statement seemed very presumptuous, since gas to Europe went from us for 200 with something, and Ukraine demanded a discount of generally 100 with something. But when Ukraine this year bought from Poland at $ 1000 per 1000 cubic meters, then you understand that reality can be even cooler. And cheap gas is primarily a competitive economy.
