The press reported a "very tough" telephone conversation between Trump and Merkel on Nord Stream-2

The American media writes that due to the Nord Stream-2 project, which is being implemented to transport gas from Russia to the EU countries, serious disagreements arose between Germany and the United States.

For example, Politico writes about a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Angela Merkel, during which Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Germany continues to carry out activities aimed at the construction of SP-2 after the introduction of America's sanctions.



Trump was annoyed that the Russian pipe-laying vessel Akademik Chersky called at the German port of Mukran.

Recall that it was this vessel after the departure of the special vessels of the Swiss company Allseas from the water area of ​​the Nord Stream-2 construction that came to the Baltic Sea from the port of Nakhodka to complete the construction of the gas pipeline.

The German press notes that Angela Merkel, in a conversation with the American president, recalled that Berlin does not support extraterritorial sanctions. It is added that the conversation was "very tough."

It is noted that the disagreement between Merkel and Trump arose not only on the issue of the gas pipeline, but also on the financial parameters of NATO activity and on relations with China. The United States notes that Trump once again pointed out to Merkel that Germany “did not bring the military budget to the required 2% by the charter of the North Atlantic Alliance.”

            Old Merkel will remain in the history of Germany as a shameful page .. (an anecdote even walks on the network for such a long time)
            The most interesting thing is that she was the head of the society of the GDR "Friendship with the USSR" .. The litter of the USA and Israel. !!!

                  But with a gun came out alone to the crowd

                  It didn’t. A fake about a gun was coined at the beginning of the 8s, and quite clumsy. The young author of the fake did not know that the KGB's service weapon at that time was an 20-charge PM, well, in the extreme case, a 60-charge APS, very large-sized and withdrawn from service in the late 14s. And the author of the fake armed his hero with a XNUMX-shot pistol. Well, one cannot ignore Soviet weapons to such an extent. However, if the fake was written from somewhere with Brighton Beach, then this is natural.

          The meaning of the article was that a completely new era was beginning in which states would begin to live by the principle - each for itself.
          That the time of alliances and different blocs has come to an end.
          It was written by the 2 co-chairs of the Davos forum 10 years ago.

      In big politics, this is the prevailing principle. Always not only in a crisis. We often scold the United States for its expansionist actions, such as the "Ukraine" project or the expansion of the influence of the NATO bloc. And this simply means that our guards have ceded these borders, and they rule there are not economists and engineers of the USSR / RF, but specialists of the same americos, the Deutsches are very active in mastering our left borders. NATO becomes impudent just as much as we allow them to do so.

      So, in your opinion, it was not worth starting? What about economic interests? we must fight for them. Risks were calculated, difficulties were assumed, and they continue to struggle for the implementation of the project. If you retreat because of the perceived risks, then there will be no development at all. If you follow your logic, then Russia should not even start any significant international project.

    the conversation was "very tough".
    The harshness of the conversation was probably due to the fact that Merkel did not agree with Trump out of an ingrained habit. When your country's economic well-being is at stake, you can include a little "toughness." Now it is clear why, before that, Merkel stated that sanctions against Russia over Donbass must be continued. I prepared for myself at least a little bedding before the upcoming conversation with Trump. And the latter went all-out - WHO on the side, preferences to Hong Kong in order to harm China on the side, grates with his favorite Twitter, the resumption of nuclear weapons tests ...

    the policy of the Russian states, when Russia offering its goods to the Germans does not require the Germans to necessarily abandon the American goods, there is a model of decency in
    politics. And the United States not only offers its goods to the Germans, but also requires the Germans to give up Russian goods, which are also much cheaper than American ones. And this is already blackmail in politics, because it is possible to make buying more expensive instead of buying cheaper only through intimidation through blackmail. But after all, for a thousand years, as an Anglo-Saxon, foreign policy was conducted through blackmail, and the United States has also been conducting such foreign policy for more than a hundred years. So now let the Germans be in the shoes of those who were blackmailed themselves, as they themselves were blackmailing others, and maybe then the Germans will realize that concessions to the blackmailer lead to the collapse of state independence. I think that the Germans have enough ambition and mind to show their independence by buying goods from Russia is cheaper than from America is much more expensive. Tavara, who from America will need more. than the one you would buy from Russia, because liquefied gas from a gas carrier requires one unit of consumption much more than gas from a gas pipeline that is similar to a unit of consumption

    It is noted that the disagreement between Merkel and Trump arose not only on the issue of the gas pipeline, but also on the financial parameters of NATO activity and on relations with China.

    There is an interesting article on Merkel's attitude towards China on Deutsche Welle.
