“On Tuesday, Siemens Energy said the delay in returning the equipment to Gazprom was because they were taken to Canada for a scheduled overhaul and have not been returned due to Ottawa’s sanctions on Russia.”
ROLFMAO!
Some pieces/parts of the sanctions will have to be curtailed...to get this ‘pump’ back into the system. The longer they argue about this....the bigger this mess will become in just four weeks. I should add...this occurs as politicians in the EU/particularly Germany...start their summer vacation business.
The Neocons and their puppet media won’t discuss the strengthening Ruble, but at this point Russia doesn’t need as much money from the West to finish up with their Special Military Operation in Ukraine...and the extra money now coming in is making the Ruble too strong. So, why not cut the flow a bit - after all, it will help Europe transition to Green Power and save the planet. LOL.
that’s what you call leverage!!!
The sanctions have backfired. The US and Europe are suffering more than is Russia. Don’t we have smart politicians??
Meanwhile...
Sanctions like this may shut down Germany economically. Trump was right.
