US Congress intends to force Joe Biden to impose sanctions against Nord Stream 2

83

The US Congress intends to force US President Joe Biden to impose sanctions against the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The relevant provisions are contained in the bill on the financing of the State Department for 2022.

The House of Representatives of the US Congress approved the bill, which also included an amendment prohibiting the American president from abandoning sanctions against Nord Stream 2, i.e. obliging Biden to impose restrictions on the gas pipeline. The amendment was authored by Ohio Democrat Marcy Captur.



Reportedly, 217 congressmen voted for the amendment, 212 opposed it. However, in order to take effect, the amendment must be approved in the Senate, and then signed by the head of state himself.

Earlier, a group of Republican senators spoke out against Joe Biden's inaction on the Russian gas pipeline. Senators, a total of 12 people, issued an ultimatum to Biden, in which they demanded to change their position on Nord Stream 2 and impose sanctions. Otherwise, they threatened to block appointments to the US Treasury.

Recall that Joe Biden and Angela Merkel agreed to complete the construction of Nord Stream 2. At the same time, Washington did not rule out the introduction of sanctions against the gas pipeline, provided that Russia uses it as a "geopolitical weapons".

By the way, the bill on the financing of the State Department adopted by Congress provides for an increase in financial assistance to Ukraine for 2022 to $ 481,5 million, including for military spending.

        The House of Representatives of the US Congress approved the bill, which also included an amendment prohibiting the American president from abandoning sanctions against Nord Stream 2, i.e. obliging Biden to impose restrictions on the gas pipeline. The amendment was authored by Ohio Democrat Marcy Captur.

        75-year-old Democrat Marcy Kaptur has ALWAYS in her policy towards any foreign companies advocated and continues to advocate that foreign companies and enterprises allegedly must always have their sovereign share of their national (indigenous) assets and leadership positions in the enterprise's directorate transfer to the USA
        In particular, in this case, as we see, such a raider policy of the American congressmen towards Russia also applies to the Russian "SP-2"

        Thus, the activities of Marcy Kaptur against Russia demanding the US congressmen to impose sanctions on Russia and NEVER lift them - this is nothing more than RADING by the US towards Russia, in particular, on the Russian assets of "SP-2" ...

        By the way, in Zelensky's office they have already voiced the idea of ​​saving Ukraine from SP-2 by transferring 2-3-5% of their assets to Ukraine by foreign investors for the construction of SP-10.

        And for sure, this issue was somehow agreed between Merkel and Biden at their meetings in Washington. The West apparently conceded.
        Will Russia concede?
        But even if Russia also concedes to Washington in some way, the aggressive raider policy of the United States will not change from this either in relation to Germany, or in relation to Russia, or in relation to Ukraine - or in relation to any other countries.

    Apparently there were some kind of trilateral agreements between the US-Russia-Germany regarding Nord Stream-2. It is interesting that the Americans again somehow wriggle out, that they will impose sanctions and will demand the implementation of these agreements.

      This only further confirms the thesis that it is useless to negotiate anything with the United States. Their word is not worth a damn dime. By definition, no type of peaceful coexistence is possible, only tough pressure by force on all fronts in order to force them to observe at least some decency ..

      As for the trilateral agreement, somehow ...
      So they did not officially refuse the sanctions ...
      "There is no secret agreement between Washington and Berlin that the United States will stop using unilateral sanctions against participants in the Nord Stream 2 project." <...> There is neither open nor implicit agreement that we [the US government ] from now on we will follow a specific course in terms of our sanctions. We are committed to upholding [applicable US] law. We will continue to do this. None of the disclosed yesterday [that is, the details of the agreements between the US and the FRG published on Wednesday] change this in no way. We will continue to follow the law "- Head of the State Department Press Service Ned Pry. Https://tass.ru/ekonomika/11966899
      The question is that there are different sanctions against the sanctions ... it is possible to impose against the project operator, this is serious (and most likely will violate the agreements with the Germans), or it is possible against different persons, but how many are already under sanctions .. Fortune, etc. and it goes ...
      In the meantime, there is a struggle with the joint venture, on the other flank ...
      D. Bayatovic said that from October 1, 2021, 8,5 billion m3 / year of gas will be supplied to Hungary through Serbia.
      The clarification is very important, since it was previously reported that the initial supply capacity to Hungary via the new route would amount to 6 billion m3 / year, while the increase to 8,5 billion m3 / year was postponed until October 1, 2023 https://neftegaz.ru/ news / transport-and-storage / 690915-serbiyagaz-postavki-rossiyskogo-gaza-v-vengriyu-cherez-serbiyu-sostavyat-8-5-mlrd-m3-god /

    The House of Representatives of the US Congress approved the bill, which also included an amendment prohibiting the American president from abandoning sanctions against Nord Stream 2, i.e. obliging Biden to impose restrictions on the gas pipeline.

    Let them enter as much as they want, but in reality this will not affect anything:
    As of 13:00 Moscow time on July 29.07.2021, XNUMX.
    "Fortune" is worth it. Weather services draw winds of 25-30 m / s and waves of 1,6 meters in the work area. By the end of Tuesday day, according to the forecast, strong wind and waves up to 2 meters.
    Vessels from the area of ​​work continue to descend: all the German fishermen have left, two of our vessels are already in Rostock, two are on the way to it. "Akademik Chersky" + two ships stopped 30 miles west of "Fortuna".
    "Fortuna" has five ships left and + one in the port of Mukran.
    It remains to lay 26705 meters.
    Work on the "Baltic Pipe" did not stop. The pipe is being laid in two areas.

    The American Congress intends to force US President Joe Biden to impose sanctions against the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

    Why shouldn't Russia impose sanctions on the American contingent in Syria, for example? Here, take it, gather your will into a fist and introduce ... Up to the tonsils. To neither swallow nor breathe.
    Fucked up at the root America dictates its will to a sovereign country. Yes, it is better to die in the world than to live on your knees.

    As long as Gazprom is behaving correctly --- it does not violate contracts, but it also does not increase pumping ... if this continues, then winter will put everything in its place ..... but, mlyn, in Gazprom again " philanthropy "will leap up (more precisely, love of money) and all current actions will lead nowhere ...

    Wishlist on this matter has long been present, because they annoy the minke to the extreme with their arrogance and shamelessness! But how is this possible? Well, we will put it in, collect it, and then what? Fighting in full scale ?!

    Well, they will press on the Germans, they will transfer part of the shares to the Ukrainians and thus they will get out of the state sanctions themselves, but the Ukrainians, in conjunction with the states, will break through the decision to continue transit through them, and we, and we have more and more different sanctions and regardless of behavior, for a long time ago it was decided that for the revolution and feeding ukrov only Moscow pays and the west only removes nishtyaki.

    It's a strange combination .. For some reason they dragged the gas ... these pipes .. contractors. It was much easier to tell the gamerope: "Just pay us a billion a year, and if you don't, we will impose sanctions on everyone." And the main thing is not to run into any specific industry :)

    VEDAGOR: "THE TEACHING ABOUT THE NATIVE".
    WE ARE ALL - SLAVS, living forever in the boundless, ancient, strongest Slavic world.
    NO we are stronger and fairer than we are NO.
    We are CHILDREN OF NATURE - not cloning, test tube use, IVF, LGBTQ, pills, etc. We are responsible for ourselves, our family, and for everything that depends on us.
    The earth, its NATURE to which we belong, is NOT TOUCHED, for it is our soul that is not for sale and our rest. Any interference with NATURE must be coordinated and compensated. Activities with risky consequences should be transferred to SPACE.
    No structure and / or form of organization of our society has the right to act on our behalf: neither bureaucrats in any of their guises, nor politicians with any of their slogans, nor forces external to the Slavic world.
    Our Russia, as a country that personifies the Slavic world, must become a smart country that creates all the opportunities and conditions for healing and knowing each of us and the world around us.
    Glory to our soldiers in their constant military labor! Each of us is an invincible warrior!
    Each of us is a creator!
    We research, reconstruct and apply now what has been tested and given to us by the experience of our ancestors: EVERYTHING IS OURS!
    We trust the gods of our relatives! Glory to Rod!
    Glory to our light ancestors!
    Let there be joy always and everywhere - in spite of everything!
    Urrrah! Urrra Urrra! Urrrah! Urrra Urrra! Urrrah!
