Stratfor: European unanimity on anti-Russian sanctions under threat

In the EU, there is no consensus on the extension of sanctions against the Russian Federation, and although Kiev will actively lobby for this issue in Europe, it will be difficult for him to achieve results, the intelligence and analysis company Stratfor noted in its report.

“The EU consensus on sanctions could be at risk. Despite the fact that earlier the EU countries unanimously voted to maintain sanctions against Russia, now some of them (for example, Italy and Hungary) indicate that they can come out for the lifting of sanctions during the next discussion. ”- quotes the report Expert Online.

According to researchers, some European leaders, "especially loyal to Russia, are skeptical of Ukraine" because of the lack of positive changes there.

«In fact, a number of EU countries have accused Ukraine of dragging out economic and institutional reforms, despite Poroshenko’s recent promise that the political crisis in the country will be resolved before the end of this month ”, - analysts emphasized.

[Dr. Bormental]

Until the Americans are allowed, no sanctions will be lifted from us. Well, even if they remove it, the price tag in the store will not fall, the housing and communal services and the cost of gasoline will not decrease.

The EU is no longer unanimous on the issue of extending sanctions against Russia

This we hear every time after the adoption of the next extension of the sanctions. It's time to stop fantasizing. Sanctions will extend as cute.

Maybe they would like not to renew, so who will give them.

This Stratfor information is not so valuable as it does not change much. Namely.
Intelligence and analysis company Stratfor - or the so-called The “Shadow CIA” - with this semi-objective forecast publicly - only in fact - only states the US State Department that “consensus in the EU on sanctions against Russia could be in jeopardy for the US in Europe.” Moreover, the OWNERS are to blame for more than Ukraine itself (!) - because of its economic and political insolvency, as such, in the reforms it has designated in the eyes of some European states - and not so much through the fault of Russia. Which, naturally, will complicate Washington’s actions in Europe against Russia. However, at the same time, in the report, causal involvement in this negative process in Ukraine by the United States itself - i.e. the answer, from where the “legs grow”, is prudently sly for the world community to drop.
Naturally, the US strategy in Europe against Europe itself and against Russia, according to the Stratfor report, does not even imply any fundamental changes in Washington’s policy, but only assumes the need for adjusting the CIA’s tactics to achieve Washington’s previous goals. That's all!
Therefore, there is absolutely NO new information about this Stratfor information as such. Then why did Stratfor announce its "forecast"?
Yes, only for self-promotion in the sales market of its intelligence and information services to other countries. Since this Stratfor Intelligence and Analysis Company is officially a private company, it must find new customers for itself in the intelligence market. Business!

Running in a circle or a snake devouring its tail ...
Not so long ago, they made a statement that the sanctions of Europe could not be lifted until Russia returned Crimea.
And how now do they intend to get out and get out of the sanctions regime when they drove themselves into a deadlock? The word is not a sparrow - it will fly out, you will catch such .....
I believe that we will not definitely return Crimea)))

Sanctions are eternal, since sanctions imposed for Crimea, and Crimea forever Russian. And these nonsense only look in the mouth of the Washington host.

How is this connected with the ban on parmesan and entry into the EU for our politicians ???

[Dr. Bormental]

Yes, it seems, they didn’t particularly affect it ... in St. Petersburg, on the contrary, the price tag for pork and chicken even decreased. Well, the fact that the prices there for travel and other things went up - so they went up every year, regardless of the crisis

[Rostov Papa]

Well no. He went to shave. Maybe something can begged from Japan for supporting her claims to the northern territories. It seems that Erdogan sent away and did not unfasten anything from the expected 6 billion promised to him by the EU - very little.

No need to do us a favor.
Give your sanctions more and more strictly.
Russia's GDP growth will continue,
Which twists your nasty faces.

Tired we fight your nonsense
Russian agricultural producer in shock,
Choke on yourself with cheeses and tomatoes,
Reverse gas in a drunken stupor.

There are a few more obscene words,
And, of course, the wishes of the "warm"
And I wanted the words brilliant
Render your worthless policy ...

I would be in the EU’s place, after Brussels, all the same, I would think not about a beggarly, unpredictable, nationalistic Ukraine, where there is a civil war, but about my own security and cooperation with Russia, which, unfortunately, has a lot of experience in the fight against terror. that Ukrainians are ready to blow up even their Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk, so that they would pay attention to them, but it's time for the gentlemen of Europeans to take up their heads!

[gergi]

We do not need the lifting of sanctions. Let the Europeans themselves devour their jamon in tons. I personally like cheese.

[Asadullah]

Well, even if they remove it, the price tag in the store will not fall, the housing and communal services and the cost of gasoline will not decrease.

Sanctions are primarily loans. They hinder national projects. Housing and communal services are not affected. In theory, house partnerships should be created and under the guidance of a military pensioner to conduct their affairs. Then prices can be balanced and disciplined by suppliers. The management company will squeeze all the juices. Gasoline may have a governmental resource of pressure, but there will be no positive changes, there are too many narrow interests. And the price tags in stores depend entirely on sellers, which they will reduce only on the excess of goods.

[Temples]

Let the sanctions be extended.
Otherwise, again the food market will be completely in the grip of the bourgeoisie.

[Dr. Bormental]

Agriculture needs to be built up. And then the fields are empty. We have grown beets and carrots and radishes near St. Petersburg ... now everything is overgrown with weeds. Maybe something will move off the ground ...

[Samaritan]

Comrade Bormental, Flax. Region Was in 2014 In first place for the introduction of new agricultural enterprises! Now the trend continues, but the south has overtaken!
All classic vegetables are grown in LO!
You can see the list here: http: //lenagro.org/katalog-predpriyatij.html

[Dr. Bormental]

Quote: Samaritan

but the south overtook!

Of course I overtook ... my mother-in-law lives in Mineralnye Vody ... there at least a stick stick-grows. And here we need to try, but we must pay tribute - many farmers began to appear. The price tag is very pleasantly pleasing .. all their own, everything is fresh

[Samaritan]

Only now there were no enterprises, everything was from under the floor ... and now very large ones are opening up, they began to give loans at 5%, etc. Well, better late than never!

[Dr. Bormental]

God grant! It's time to get off the oil needle, we and the agrarian empire too. In my opinion, a good kick in the ass never prevented anyone from sobering up.

[Kasym]

A little more and nothing imported (food) really will not be necessary. And there, at least cancel it, it will not be necessary anymore - we will fill up ourselves. China is quietly opening up the market (half a mil. Tons of grain in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation); recently, the green light has been given to our people. oil. Sweets, cookies, pasta, etc. judging by our media find their customers in China (in-kind). It was high time to tackle food security - there was enough land.
But the Germans just need to cut off the supply of cars not assembled in the Russian Federation. Oh, and howl, those Mercedes and Porsches with Audi. They wrote that the German market for them caught up with the Russian one in sales. And for the Russian Federation, stimulation of its own car production. I see GDP has long ceased to fly to the EU intensively - they themselves arrive or call. It is high time to squeeze the maximum out of these sanctions - let the Europeans strangle themselves. They do not want "streams" - to build gas pipelines in the East. Only the PRC needs 100 billion cubic meters of gas with further growth. Korea, Japan, etc.
Another interesting fact. Previously, because of cheap labor, everyone built enterprises in the PRC. But now we have it (average salary) below the Chinese. Here, too, you can squeeze something. And the location is just in the center. In the west of Europe, in the east of Asia.
The only splinter is the world fin. system. Something the SCO countries (RF, China, RK) are actually buying gold (judging by the media) - muddied something for three !? The Germans and others are also trying to drag the gold home. "Sow the wind, reap the storm." It seems very soon that trade in the SCO will go to the national. currencies. There could be more further.
Politically, both internally and externally, the EU is failing - terrorist attacks and refugees, which only increase tensions. The authorities in the EU will fly off in the next elections - the probability is at least high. Therefore, a split can also be made in this "field". Support some, ignore others. Well, that Le Pen was given credit for example. "Buy" there who needs to be - as the Westerners did in the 90s - in bulk, in lots, let them be mouthpieces.
After the VKS demonstration in Syria, they won’t go to war, and Kiev is unlikely to want to support it (an empty idea).
So their sanctions could hit them hard. They probably haven't calculated everything, even a couple of steps ahead. And if the Kremlin strongly "puts pressure" on the EU (economically and politically), they will immediately feel who is a regional and who is a superpower. I don’t quite understand why the GDP is “fiddling” with the Europeans - it should be tougher with them, especially after Ukraine. They ruined and bankrupted the country with their Euro-association and empty promises - let them answer.

these sanctions are for you and the devils are gay.

Ukraine resembles a snitch, despised and always beaten by everyone. But in general, it’s clear to Europeans where the dog is buried. I talked with the Finns a long time ago. They complained very much. They say that the border region was previously poor due to our lives. They even do promotions at discounts in 70 -80% if only we went

We need to make sure that Europe itself seeks our markets and on our terms, time works for us.

Although xs, see what they write pasta:
Cristofaro Sola | Opinione
Cuba: Obama does not feel the stench of dictatorship
Cuban leaders haven’t even met Obama at the Havana airport, but he is oblivious to it, he’s so enthusiastic about his mission. Cristofaro Sola writes about the visit of the American president to Cuba in an article published in the newspaper L'Opinione.

For the worst president in US history, a trip to Cuba has become a kind of moon landing. All that was missing was for Obama to utter a phrase by Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to land on the lunar surface: a small step for man, but a huge step for humanity. Strange things can make money even with the most powerful people on earth. Dear Barak came to see his new friend Raul Castro, accompanied by a whole retinue of industrialists and entrepreneurs. Cuba is a tidbit for all of them, because it is beautiful, has excellent potential for the development of tourism, and Cubans are so in need of everything that they would like to revel in Western materialism. Thus, it is quite natural that Mr. Obama sees in the Cuban dossier opportunities that cannot be missed, for the sake of which you can close your eyes to some of the sins of the local authorities. So, for example, they put dissidents in prisons and suppress any sources of free information. At the heart of all this is real politics. Therefore, it is impossible to blame the current owner of the White House, who, fortunately, remains to be such for long, the author of the article writes.

Why, then, does the same Mr. Obama accuse Italians of inappropriate relations with Putin and his leadership? “Russians love Italy and everything that is produced in our country. If they could, they would buy everything from our enterprises, but they cannot do this, because there are sanctions imposed by Washington and its European henchmen,” the author notes. articles. America proclaims the slogan: have nothing to do with the Russians, because they are imperialists who deny the freedom of people and nations.

According to the White House, Western democracies should have nothing to do with the enemy. But let's see: Cuban Communists are good, but Russians are not? How does this principle work? Italy can't buy oil from Moscow so as not to threaten the whole world? But can American bigwigs go to Cuba and fill their pockets there? The truth is, the author of the article writes, that the blind submission of little Italy to a powerful overseas ally is already tired. Now devotion to a principle that operates in a variable flow regime no longer makes sense. Many Italian factories have closed due to sanctions against Russia. Others are looking for loopholes to still deliver their products to the Russian market. Italian energy group Eni has been forced to abandon a lucrative partnership with Russia's Gazprom in the South Stream project. "These unbearable sacrifices are motivated by the defense of the ideals of freedom, but the champions of these ideals, mocking them, sit down at the table set by the bloody communist regime of the Castro family. Who do you want to deceive?" - asks the author of the article.

All the same, it is necessary to give Urkaina a visa-free regime, and then Europe will see what an "iron stream2" is. Europe will definitely not have time for sanctions, it would be better to send the Ukrainians out ..

The longer the sanctions, the more motivation to revive our economy.

[iliitchitch]

Extend - canceled, but what the difference is nafig? From this buck 30 will not, and food prices will not fall 2 times. At the very least, the economy is adapting, if it is canceled, it will also be canceled, only import duties must be raised so that this cancellation does not hit its own.

[olimpiada15]

By applying sanctions, the EU has demonstrated its attitude towards the Russians.
Stratfor may not be hysterical - sanctions against the Russian Federation will never be lifted, the Russians understand this, as well as the true attitude towards our country.
The launched boomerang returns to where it was launched from, and it is useless to blame anyone except the one who launched it.

I do not want to offend anyone, but you yourself dealt with this issue about which you write? I have a small farm near St. Petersburg 15 horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, poultry, do you know how much feed has risen in price? And the fields were not overgrown with weeds, enterprises were sown in normal quantities, I’m not talking about summer residents, a couple of years ago the land was empty, and last year all the plots were sown. Even people who were more interested in clean lawns and then put greenhouses and made beds. But unfortunately prices are rising, what grandmother would buy a pack of cucumber seeds in which 8 pcs. for 90 rubles, and sometimes even more expensive, I'm not talking about the industrial scale.

Everything is right, it should be so, especially in the light of recent events, striped far away, and they are not used to risking their lives for others, their own shirt is closer to the body. So the Europeans themselves will have to spin and head off their dumb brain.
