    Default Investors in Russian pipeline projects at risk of U.S. sanctions, Pompeo says

    U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday warned investors in two Russian natural gas pipeline projects that they could face sanctions as the Trump administration seeks to curb the Kremlin's economic leverage over Europe and Turkey.

    Pompeo told a news conference that European investors in the Nordstream 2 and a branch of the Turkstream pipelines could be "put at risk" of U.S. sanctions under the
    Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017. The pipelines will carry gas from Russia to Europe and Turkey.

    "It's a clear warning to companies aiding and abetting Russia's malign influence projects will not be tolerated. Get out now, or risk, the consequences," Pompeo said.

    The United States, which has a glut of natural gas, is trying to export liquefied natural gas to Europe.

    Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said sanctions on the two pipelines equated to political pressure, TASS news agency reported.

    This is the use of political pressure for unfair competition," Zakharova said.
    "It is an indicator of the weakness of the American system. Apart from forceful methods, there are no effective tools."

    sanctions for investing in a European/Russian transaction // WTF is wrong with the USA?
    Pompeo is an ass -and Trump has completely forgotten his desire for a Russian reset.

    But the real criminals are the Deep State Creeps that drive the Russiaphoia and not just Comey and that crowd,

    Col. Vindman and Fiona Hill and the rest of those Cold Warrior bastards who only see Russian relations
    as a "zero Sum Game" . The arrogant hubris of a 'monopolar world' on display

    Last month a bipartisan group of U.S. s̶e̶n̶a̶t̶o̶r̶s̶ ̶ warpigs led by Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, and Ted Cruz,
    a Republican, introduced a sanctions bill on Nord Stream 2, that they say would stop the project by expanding existing sanctions to include penalties on parties providing underwriting services, insurance or reinsurance and pipe-laying activities.

    Nord Stream 2 aims to double the Nord Stream route's existing capacity

    Hard to defend Trump, but being a good Russian asset you are treading the edge of a sharp sword.

    Must be a pretty tough to place to be, but traitors deserve no sympathy.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    horseshit
    I call them as I see them. I gave Obama credit for the Russian reset that his State Dept threw away;
    which got us here . That and Comey/Brennan and McCabe and the Creeps
    ~~

    this is what "isolates" the US from it allies in Europe - not getting NATO to pony up.
    It drives Germany nuts -and not just Merkel -but the entire Germany power structure

    OMG.
    See spot run. Comey set the tone for Russiaphobia = poisoned US/Russian relations.
    Even though it was a Russian hoax.it was 3 years of relentless Russia bashing.

    Fiona Hill for ex. ( from Impeachment) used to want to be part of a Russian Reset -
    then she went bonkers and became a Cold Warrior.

    Vindman has always been a Jackass -but you should get he idea that where we are now
    was poisoned by the Creeps. "no Russian reset for you!"

    absolutely. Our Russia bashing is mindless, and undercuts US/NATO ties (commercial conflict) .
    Plus it's just bad news for a Europe at peace with Russia

    Trump is just mad that Putin is not helping him win the election this time around.

    Trump sent Prick Perry over to Eastern Europe to try and sell them on American Natural Gas.

    But use your common sense- Does anyone think American Prices, that would have to include expensive delivery fees, could ever be able to compete with Russian prices that are delivered via the pipeline? LITERALLY- THAT IS A TRUMP PIPE DREAM!

    Trump interfering with Russia's Pipeline contract with Eastern Europe will only make Russia's relationship with the USA spiral out of control; with unforeseen circumstances.

    Even our allied nations in Eastern Europe who are already upset with Trump's meddling in the affairs of the European Union, regarding trade and support, will deteriorate into a downward spiral. LET ME JUST SAY THIS- EASTERN EUROPE IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH US NATURAL GAS SUPPLIERS AND HAVE TO PAY TWICE AS MUCH FOR NATURAL GAS!

    And of course TRUMP intends to hinge the EU buying natural gas with his negotiations with a trade deal with the EU. Basically, "Buy our natural gas or Fuck Off- no trade deal"! CRAZYTOWN!

    SO THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DONALD TRUMP TANGENT OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO MAKE MONEY FOR HIMSELF.

    DONALD TRUMP nor PRICK PERRY would not even be meddling in this market if they haven't already made backroom deals with American Oil companies that would personally and financially benefit themselves.

    So what else is new?

    debunked. Putin didn't favor anyone -which has nothing at all to do with this

    But use your common sense- Does anyone think American Prices, that would have to include expensive delivery fees, could ever be able to compete with Russian prices that are delivered via the pipeline? LITERALLY- THAT IS A TRUMP PIPE DREAM!
    delivery is not the only difference in price - but i dont disagree

    ROFL that ship has sailed.
    the Obama State dept poisoned it's own Russian reset by meddling in the Euromaidan -
    which became a revolution fomented by McCain/Nuland on the ground in Independence sq.

    When Poroshenko took over he threatened Russia's lease on the naval base at Sevastopol.
    That was a deal breaker for Putin who could not let it happen - so he annexed Crimea.
    The he build the Kerch Strait bridge system for direct access.

    McCain the Warpig screwed the pooch as well
    Even our allied nations in Eastern Europe who are already upset with Trump's meddling in the affairs of the European Union, regarding trade and support,
    busting trade barriers from the EU is in our national interest
    LET ME JUST SAY THIS- EASTERN EUROPE IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH US NATURAL GAS SUPPLIERS AND HAVE TO PAY TWICE AS MUCH FOR NATURAL GAS!
    Eastern Europe already gets it's nat gas. Pipelines thru Ukraine supply it. you are hysterical

    SO THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DONALD TRUMP TANGENT OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO MAKE MONEY FOR HIMSELF.
    Trump makes nothing off nat gas transactions

    DONALD TRUMP nor PRICK PERRY would not even be meddling in this market if they haven't already made backroom deals with American Oil companies that would personally and financially benefit themselves.
    junk

    If you noticed I gave credit to Obama for the Russian reset. But the Kerry led state dept undermined it
