US Congress agreed on new sanctions against Nord Stream 2

The Senate and the House of Representatives of the US Congress have agreed on extended sanctions against the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline under construction. Bloomberg reports this with reference to informed sources.

According to the agency, insurance and certification companies that cooperate with Russian ships that are completing the construction of the pipeline may fall under the restrictive measures. The new sanctions already agreed will be included in the 2021 defense budget amendment, while the previously imposed sanctions will remain intact. The document should be adopted by the end of this year.

It is emphasized that the restrictive measures will not affect Germany and its officials.

In mid-October, the United States announced its intention to expand sanctions against the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. As stated in the US State Department, new sanctions may be introduced against companies providing services or funding for ships involved in the construction of SP-2.

In July this year, the US Senate approved a draft defense budget bill for the next fiscal year, which, among other things, introduces new sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream pipelines. It involves the imposition of restrictions on companies that directly or indirectly contribute to the completion of construction and commissioning of Russian gas pipelines. In particular, pipe-laying organizations, ship insurers, as well as companies involved in the maintenance and retrofitting of pipe-layers may fall under the new sanctions.

US Congress agreed on new sanctions against Nord Stream 2

And who will approve - Tram-Pam-Pam or GUDBAYDEN? It's a shame, there are sanctions, but from whom it is not known ...

[Real Pilot]

But pipes don't care ... They're pipes

Well, Russia still needs to finish building. It seems like the completion process begins again, you need to be in time ...

And what kind of president will be is a political factor, not an economic one. They are extremely unanimous about the economic pressure on us!

[Rubi0]

And most importantly for what?

[Vadim_888]

Crimea, Donbas, for being Russian, for kvass, for porridge and cabbage soup ... they have indigestion from Russian cuisine

[The leader of the Redskins]

I directly feel how all sorts of "usefulness" from the sanctions are beginning to slip into the wallets of ordinary Russians. Well, to make it easier for a citizen to walk without money.

Am I an oligarch in your opinion? Or do I live in some other Russia that is not subject to sanctions?

Something I do not understand you - then you are offended by the sanctions, they say they are hitting your wallet. Then you pour tears for the dead "sanctioners"

[The leader of the Redskins]

Don't mix it.
The fact that the sanctions are for our good was not I said, but you know who.
And the peacekeepers who died were not only Americans. And Americans are different. If you have only Black and White in your mind, then I'm sorry, the world is full of colors and shades.

[Krasnoyarsk]

Quote: Leader of the Redskins

Americans are different.

Yes, I don’t argue. But at 41, the Germans were also different. But this difference did not prevent them from coming to our land and killing 28 million of our compatriots.
Whoever remembers the old will be out of sight. And whoever forgets, two.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Ernst Thalmann and thousands of anti-fascists, too, one size fits all? Or should we admit that those who have seized power and made enemies of Russians, Jews and Gypsies are guilty?
Now - can you prove that the dead Americans appointed you personally or our entire nation as enemies?
But you have already indicated your position. And it does not coincide with Thälmann's ideas.

[Krasnoyarsk]

Quote: Leader of the Redskins

Ernst Thalmann and thousands of anti-fascists, too, one size fits all?

So they never came to our land. So it's not about them. True, thousands of anti-fascists live in your head. In Germany 41g. there were only a few of them and they sat quietly, like a mouse under a broom, or they were in a concentration camp.

Quote: Leader of the Redskins

Now - can you prove that the dead Americans appointed you personally or our entire nation as enemies?

And their opinion does not interest Comrade Biden. He will send them to bomb us and they will go. And they will bomb us quite professionally and with pleasure. True, those for whom you are shedding tears will no longer be able to do this. And I'm glad of that.
You are a pacifist. And you don't see how the situation around Russia is heating up. And who is heating it up? Channel One propagandists? Or did your friends come to the mattress mattress in the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Ukraine?

Do you miss Parmesan? Can't you sleep? Sorry.
Although I somehow - on the drum.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Alas, your answer only plays against you. Chat with economists, technologists. Ask how it felt to us with the sanctions.
Our cheese makers will be able to cook Parmesan, but more technological industries are often stalled.
Well, if you started to live better after 2014 - congratulations.

[Krasnoyarsk]

Quote: Leader of the Redskins

Our cheese makers will be able to cook Parmesan, but more technological industries are often stalled.

That's why they stalled because they hoped for a freebie of other people's technologies. Don't be lazy. We need to create our own technologies.
Wherever you look, everything is Chinese. Previously, we did everything ourselves, but now we can't, we buy any little thing from the Chinese. I would be glad if China also announced sanctions to us. Maybe then they began to produce everything they needed faster. And this includes jobs and the development of industry and technology. And hence the standard of living.
And you, with your defeatist sentiments - ah, everything is gone, they don't give us technology, we can't do anything ourselves - just throw our country back into the 90s.

They love to pull rubber mattress toppers. No, to immediately declare all Russian oil and gas hostile. But the Russian titanium is the most democratic for Boeing.
They rolled cylinders to the Old Man, but what about themselves? 130% of voters voted for Biden, Trump was deprived of the air, and he was persecuted in the "free" fake media.
Why is our Foreign Ministry silent? We must shout about undemocratic elections in the United States. We must poke them with a pug into their own guano.
Biden is an illegitimate president.

[Undecim]

But the Russian titanium
There is no Russian titanium. Titanium supplied to the external market is titanium from Chemezov, Shelkov, Voevodin, Lelikov, Kuzyuk, Kamensky, Zokin. Or nationalization took place in Russia, but we missed it?

[Civil]

Eh, you Agent Trump ... you are imposing sanctions again, and before that you raised prices in pharmacies and for heating. Agent Biden will take away from Trump already a world power and a world scepter.

[Lech from Android.]

What difference does it make, the main sanctions against Russia should be for any reason.
The competitor must be drowned in sanctions and rolled into asphalt, I recognize the good old methods of Al Capone ... The Americans have not changed much since then.

[Blacksmith 55]

A new president will come, and the sanctions pressure will not only not be canceled, but also intensified.
Horseradish radish is not sweeter. One is worth the other.
Unfortunately, Russia does not need to hope for an improvement in relations.

[private person]

Russia does not need to hope for an improvement in relations, unfortunately

To scrapped pipes from JV-2 and Turkish Stream, to use the proceeds to develop the Russian economy, these pipelines will not pay off anyway. And to the Turks and Europeans to say: "The cat abandoned the kittens, let them breed as they want."

[Roman070280]

“Of course, the completion of construction will be postponed for several months. But I hope that by the end of this year or in the first quarter of next year the work will be completed and the gas pipeline will start working, ”the Russian leader said, answering a question about the prospects for completing the project.

Do not contradict yourself? If you do not believe the person indicated in the quote, then you believe those who impose sanctions on the completion of the joint venture 2. Hence I repeat the question written above, or will you translate the arrows?

[Roman070280]

If you do not trust the person indicated in the quote, then you trust those who impose sanctions

What is the connection here ??
And if Putin lied about the retirement age, the Constitution and "not to cling to power" - then you have to believe the Pentagon and Trump ?? Such logic ??)

I see, another switchman. So be it, I will explain 1 time, in what the connection is, and what is not.
1. An article about the next sanctions of mattresses for SP 2, therefore - my question "who to believe, the president or mattresses" in relation to SP 2 - is logical for this article.
2. Your screams about retirement age, old promises, the constitution - in no way correlate with the subject of this article, which is just another attack on the fan in the direction of the authorities, and the essence of the article is absolutely not important.
PS wait or create a topic about power - I would love to read your point of view. And so - everything that you here spewed out of yourself in the comments (possibly except for the 1st comment) is called a flood, i.e. withdrawal of the discussion topic on any topic, as long as they do not relate to the topic of the article
Therefore, I bow out, I have no reason to debate with someone like you anymore, I have already formed my opinion of you.

As a member of the UN Security Council and a founding country, we could well raise the issue of sanctions wars and unfair competition in the UN. However, this does not happen because our government still does not want to play for high stakes, apparently preferring to use this whole situation as another information trump card in the style of "You see! The West weaves insidious intrigues" for internal propaganda.

Nothing wrong. The main thing is to take an offensive position.

2. Non-democratic elections.
3. Biden is an illegitimate president.
4.
5.
6. Etc.
And push, push, push. On all fronts.

Not a set-off. While they argued, Gazprom found a way out. To remove the port of Mukran from sanctions. Gazprom will adjust for loading everything it can to pick up all the pipes for the entire remaining section. The second living barge for personnel has already been standing for a long time. Zhdems. Kongres needs again get ready for new sanctions, but they are not up to it now

[Cosm22]

And what will it give in the end?
Even if we assume (allow ourselves to fantasize) that the flow will be completed?
Have you read the article carefully?
A structure as technically, technologically and environmentally complex as SP-2 must be insured and certified by reputable international profile companies before starting operation.
What international company would take this risk? Who will voluntarily put their head in a noose? Who decides to ditch their business in one fell swoop, falling under US sanctions?
Or will the Kremlin certify the pipeline?

They knew about these sanctions for a long time, two months ago the International Group of Mutual Insurance Clubs for Shipowners (IG P&I) already announced that it would not insure ...
Vessels participating in the construction of Nord Stream 2 can be insured by one of the Russian companies, which is already under sanctions - https://vz-ru.turbopages.org/vz.ru/s/news/2020/9/23 /1061922.html
The question is not to the Kremlin, but to the same Germany and others - if they really want to complete the construction of the SP-2 ("The German government intends to complete the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, despite the opposition from the United States" - Merkel), then they will give the go-ahead for this insurance and certification, if not ....

[Cosm22]

So that's exactly what I'm talking about. The Russian company, in particular, will insure the stream or the Kremlin personally - what is the difference in principle for the same Germany?
Will this greatly reassure foreign businessmen who have invested in the project? And minimizes their risks? What if a Russian sanctioned company issues some kind of filthy letter to the mountain?

[Brturin]

Quote: Cosm22

This will greatly reassure foreign businessmen.

They will be reassured by the fact that the German ..... regulator, energy agency, etc. give permission for insurance and certification. structure ... If you are an insurer, you must have a moment of being recognized as an insurer, you have enough funds to cover insured events, etc. otherwise no one will let you get close ...

[rotmistr60]

Interestingly, and to what extent the sanctions against "flows" will expand. It seems that almost everything has already been banned, limited, threatened with dire consequences, and what next? Blatant unfair competition erected in national politics still allows the United States to achieve something. But this cannot last forever and must end sooner or later anyway. But how will it end up for the United States - a world war, a collapsed economy (the bubbles have already inflated to the point of obscenity)?

[Cosm22]

How what?
We all learned a long time ago - the inevitable eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano and the obligatory collapse of the filthy dollar. The older generation was confident in the imminent death of capitalism and the victory of communism on a global scale.

Hmm, if not sanctions under the contract for the construction of SP-2 ... it was possible not to finish building ..

We dragged the whole world into our "super-democratic" presidential elections in the United States, and he got carried away. But this is our constant distraction show. We change presidents like condom gloves, they only act as showmen in our financial scene. There were two, trying to "pose as real" from themselves, they were shot - the subsequent ones no longer "twitch".

What are they pulling, how long can it be completed ... The pipes are in place, the pipelayers seem to have been fitted, there are permits from all participating countries, the length of the unfinished section is very small. Get together, finish the job in a month and this howl will stop.

... US Congress agreed on new sanctions against Nord Stream 2

It looks like the northern stream for Russia is becoming a lightning rod - the main thing is that the Americans continue to take sanctions against it and not touch the rest of the economy, you look at this case Gazprom is gasifying Russia quietly

[petrol cutter]

"It is emphasized that the restrictive measures will not affect Germany and its officials."
And, how can this be ?!
Miracles however!
Thus, it turns out that Russia, on its own, is building a kind of gas pipeline towards Deutschland, and the fascists are not even aware of such events! ...
Then suddenly, they were walking along the coast ... And suddenly! A pipe exuding gas in cubes! Sticking out of the sea ...
What a twist! Forgive me, Lord of Germany. Well, do not waste the good!?. Well, let's screw on the valves, pump up the caches! ..
