Nord Stream 2: EU Opposes US Sanctions on Companies ‘Carrying Out Legitimate Business’ – Borrell – Sputnik International

I would say this sums it up pretty good…

The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project has long faced criticism from the United States, as the Trump administration threatened to pressure companies involved in its manufacture with sanctions. Warnings from the White House, however, have been considered by German business as interference into EU energy sovereignty.The European Union opposes “the use of sanctions by third countries on European companies carrying out legitimate business”, Vice-President of the European Commission Josep Borrell said in a statement, referring to the practice of the Trump administration in threatening or using sanctions to target “Iran, Cuba, the International Criminal Court and most recently the Nordstream 2 and Turkstream projects.” “Moreover, it considers the extraterritorial application of sanctions to be contrary to international law. European policies should be determined here in Europe not by third countries”, the statement said.​Borrell expressed his concerns over the “growing use of sanctions, or threat of sanctions” by the Trump administration toward European “companies and interests”, particularly referring to the Nord Stream 2 project, that envisages a pipeline carrying Russian natural gas to Europe.Recently, officials in the Trump administration announced plans to put companies working on Nord Stream 2 on a list of projects to be sanctioned by the US.Borrell stressed the importance of “coordination of targeted sanctions with partners” in the areas where “common foreign and security policy goals are shared”. “We have seen many positive examples of this and will continue to coordinate where we can. Where policy differences exist, the European Union is always open to dialogue. But this cannot take place against the threat of sanctions”, he said. The growing use of sanctions, or the threat of sanctions, by the US against European companies and interests is a worrying trend. The EU opposes the use of sanctions by third countries on European companies carrying out legitimate business https://t.co/yZrMfSFsK4 — Josep Borrell Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) July 17, 2020

The barrage of disinformation getting bigger and bigger…

Unmistakably the nonstop demonetization of Russia, China and intermingling Iran, in the western news demonstrates that we’re setting out toward WW3. Veritably this is the thing that the West does while setting up its local populaces/serfs/peasants (What ever you want to call us and or them!) for an assault on an envisioned imaginary enemy…

We (populaces/serfs/peasants) are complacent with this as in the facts of unabashed rhetoric daily from the ones in charge in the USA…

Look at the words and deeds being spewed daily from the USA…

Just look with an open mind at the constant barrage of disinformation that is happening as you search about China, Russia and Iran. There is many more countries under the gun, but mainly these three are grouped together in an endless loop of lies against them and it regularly cycles like clockwork, on a schedule that never ends…

We float endlessly from evil Huawei from China, Evil pipelines from Russia, Evil demons from Iran. It is like someone with a brain of a child has been for the past hundred years in control of the game pad controls and they have finally reached a point of such frustration, that they are going insane…

Everyday the USA simply shows that it is dying by its jittery unabashed rhetoric; China diabolical, Russia fiendish, Iran satanic, North Korea is substandard, Cuba wicked, Venezuela evil and we can add in smatterings mixed among the main three, how real history is bad, whites are dreadful, statues are useless, Germany incompetent….in truth, unless you are the USA everything and everyone in the rest of the world is simply abysmal…

Yet the USA is the one showing the cracks of true disparage and internally she is unstable, not to even mention externally totally psychotic…

Physical War most likely wont occur until after the USA’s Presidential Election and if the losing individuals and supporters don’t acknowledge the outcome, singular blue states (if Trump wins) and individual red states (if Biden wins) may select to withdraw from the Union and or attempt to…

At the point when we see states requesting of to withdraw, we ought to likewise anticipate another American Civil War (the original wasn’t about slavery, yet rather about individual state’s privileges to withdraw) trying to forestall the disintegration of the USA…

So as to attempt to forestall a Civil War, and it might very much happen, that the US elites will announce war on different nations so as to revitalize Americans around the banner we call a flag…

Given how febrile the American electorate is presently, this last methodology of the elites will end up being useless…

Transforming a negative into a positive:

I can’t help suspecting that the USA needs to experience this procedure of death, recovery and resurrection so as to turn into a less materialistic and a progressively profound society…

Furthermore, ideally at that point, the remainder of the nations of the surviving world can decide their own models of monetary turn of events and their own frameworks of government and live in harmony….without the self-proclaimed god (US) to twist their souls inside out…

So be it…

Finally finished the front porch, building it, TRV

Now still have to paint…

Took a bit for me to figure out the best way to pull it all together, but it still got done…

Got up at 2 a.m. and hauled water to water everything and then before the demon horseflies woke up, I decided to stop being lazy and work…

I carried over from mom’s home some more wood and ad lib it and acted like I knew what I was doing and cut, hammered and banged a porch wall together…

I think sweet pea will be happy that I did this and I have just enough orange paint to finish the porch…

The time has long passed for Israel to be coddled…

Israel should cease portraying itself as a victim, as it has increasingly taken on the role of the perpetrator. The responsibility for Israel’s actions no longer lies with the world; rather, Israel must take it upon itself to live and act with accountability…

Just what I have been doing in TRV

I moved a huge pile of bricks and decided to do a bit of creation…

We now have a place to BBQ fish and eat a nice meal. I can’t wait for Sweet Pea to finally be able to come to the Tiny Russian Village…

Still working the sand between bricks and then will water it down. Then re-sand it and pack it better. The horseflies are eating me alive….those bright green eyes they have here are just scary at times. “I want to suck your blood!” said the (female only, of course) horsefly…

I have pulled the garlic and it is drying to be able to be stored. The onions are next in about a week….the carrots and beets are still a bit off. Bad spot for them, but they are doing their thing…

The potatoes have amazed me and I keep mounding dirt and tying them up. But….it looks to me that I have about reached the end of what I can do! Meter tall and most are approaching a spread of a meter. They are bushes if I let them flop and I would never get down a row. New potato bloom color and I like it. That is the forth color of bloom that I see in the patch…

It will be sad as I see signs that the life span is ending for the potatoes. Kinda like my babies so to say….everyday I look for the ground cracking and try to keep the potatoes from showing out of the ground. It has been a job….next year, will do a different way to grow them and only have to have half the plants for same yield…

Lost two plants. One died early on and another just could never get around big brother next to it. Big brother is an animal and little brother just is shaded too much. It happens….so 58 good healthy and productive plants are all that is left out of the original 60 planted…

I hope sweet Pea’s family is ready to eat a bunch of potatoes this winter…

Next year….we will grow sweet potatoes in mom’s yard. I have the perfect spot and I know we can do it…

I was talking to Svetochka about mass cult followings…

Good coffee by the way!

Freedom of Religion was actually just a mass cult following; My own personal understanding as to why the west is having many issues of identity crises like idiosyncrasies going on…

Mass Cult Followings:

Americans, over the course of a few decades and more, rejected Christianity in favor of evangelical, fundamentalist sick-o nutter-ism. This did more to destroy true Christianity than anything else. I never was able to see the TV Evangelist as anything more than just a money machine in a system of propaganda…

Falsification of religion reached a peak when the likes of Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and who could forget Jimmy Lee Swaggart as his face expressed god in all forms of whatever….there was and still is hundreds of active psychos, building empires based on the Fear of God. Empires based around the god of money…

Therefore, much of my family (As did millions and millions of Americans.) stayed glued to the TV as people were touched by God and fell on stage. Money was sent, as if that alone would save your soul and enter you into the pearly white gates of heaven…

Instead of trying to garner knowledge about God and understanding the reality behind such a need and desire, We watched while God was exploited and made into many multifaceted forms of the greater God into lessor material gods that spanned everything from food, land, cellphones to even that mightiest paper money god…

What America did do while rejecting core Christianity, was give us decades and more of imperial warfare and military expansionism instead of investing in modern infrastructure. All the while dancing to the tune that we were #1…

Strange how we cannot even get “religion” right within a society that proclaims freedom of religion….freedom to exploit is a better way to put it….and there is no wonder why so many have turned their back upon core religions in the western world…

Regardless, we are all part in someway of the mass cult followings all over the world….it is just not Christianity that is part of this mass cult following game…

My goodness what a ship call Rossiya (Russia)…

Rosatomflot is building an Icbreaker call Russia…

Oh me oh my what a ship…

209 meter long 47.7 meter maximum beam vessels will to have a total of 120 MW generating capacity, a maximum speed of 22 knots, a displacement of about 70,000 tonnes, and the ability to plow through ice that’s up to 4 meters thick. The ships’ nuclear-powered heart will feature two RITM-400 reactors, a steam turbine unit with four turbogenerators pumping out 37 MW each, and an electric propulsion system with four 30 MW propeller motors…

Russia has seen the Farming Light at the end of the tunnel…

Russian agricultural production has surged more than 20 percent over the past six years. The country has managed to capture more than half of the global wheat market in recent years, becoming the world’s biggest exporter of grain, thanks to bumper harvests and attractive pricing. Since the early 2000s, this share of the global wheat market has quadrupled.

It is what I have talked about for years now on WtR…

Russian Farming; Something Interesting is Happening…

and…

For years now I have talked about – Russian Farming Resurgence…

Article after article on WtR about the rise of Russia in the farming sector of the world. I was threatened with death even for thinking that Russia could and can do anything but drink vodka…

I have talked about the fields that lay dormant (from the Soviet era) for many many years being reopened and I watched this year the same. Fields that have been just weeded over since I have come to Russia in 2006, are now being and have been plowed up and growing grain galore…

Having driven Russia and enjoyed the countryside, I asked many questions and the biggest one I asked, “Why are all these fields left unused?” And I still ask it as I see they have just scratched the surface of opening up the old fields again….but as time goes by, every year more and more fields are being plowed again…

It is what the world has to have and the world needs to survive and Russia saw during the Medvedev presidency an opportunity to change the future in farming…

GMO free and plentiful. It is what it is and for those who want to see a future and plan for long term stability….farming is the soul and backbone of any country…

I see as I drive Russia in our Volga; Farming is food and food is life!

Light at the end of the tunnel, is hard to get to, but Russia is trying…

TRV walked to new bridge and duckies out a swimming…

Several years ago I had to move five trees like this to use the bridge. Those five trees are still there and rotting. I think that this is too many and if they do not remove them? I will cut them up into fence posts and store them away…

You have to walk over all these trees to even get to the bridge and many people have bikes and scooters to get around on….oh well!

Kinda too dark for a good video, but as I walked mommy duckies and their babies out for a swim…

Mother Nature is wonderful…
