Berlin warns US against interference into EU affairs, rejects sanctions pressure
Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has lashed out at Washington over its continued attempts to derail a Russian gas pipeline project to Germany. Berlin “rejects on principle” extraterritorial sanctions, he said.
“European energy policy is decided in Europe, not in the US,” the German official said in a tweet responding to a Spiegel report on Washington’s eleventh hour attempts to stop the North Stream 2 project. The pipeline is to deliver Russian natural gas directly to Germany. Berlin sees it as essential to national energy security, but Washington has been working for years to undermine it.
The irritation with Washington’s habit of telling other nations what they should and shouldn’t has been building up in Berlin, which is increasingly defying America’s instructions. Backing the Russian pipeline, which will help Russia to meet Western European fuel needs and deny a market share to more costly American liquefied natural gas (LNG) is just one example.
Take the new US Senate bill draft, giving State Department right to call Russia ‘sponsor of terrorism’ and this news together, and… It’s a bloody declaration of war on Europe!
It seems that the US has declared war on the whole bloody world. Dieing empires are crankier than old men. 😎
Or old women, @novacadian… see under HRC, Pelosi & Waters. An extreme case of PMS? 😉
I mentioned just that in the new post... The dying empire, everybody is seeing except the USAians and some western Europeans, sadly some super rich Gulfies as well who are betting their horses on the exhaust of the last steam of the USA.
