Merkel declares war on Trump over Nord Stream 2
Messenger of Caucasus ^ | December 20, 2019

Posted on 12/20/2019 12:35:14 AM PST by NorseViking

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's reaction to the U.S. possible sanctions on the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is a "clear declaration of war" on U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Bild newspaper.

Previously, she noted that Germany was opposed to U.S. extraterritorial sanctions and will "hold very decisive talks" on the issue of U.S. sanctions against Nord Stream-2.

According to Bild, Merkel's response to the Congress decision on sanctions was "clear". It was "a clear declaration of war" on Trump. The Chancellor "will not tolerate" the United States "continuing to undermine the gas pipeline project, which is backed by her," the newspaper wrote.

At the same time, the article stressed confidence that the construction of the Nord Stream-2 cannot be contained and the project will be completed soon.

Nor any kind of war.
The word is translated as fight.
The article states Merkel wants talks to work things out.

I can’t be babysitting your Putin propaganda thread.

In Russian a ‘war’ in this context doesn’t mean actual war as well. I believe in English too.

We don't seem to hear a lot about TurkStream like we do about Nord Stream 2.

Germany has the Leopard 2A7 Main Battle Tank.

Merkel declaring war is no small matter. :(

American citizens have no problem saying they are American citizens.

I post on American Free Republic to read what my fellow Conservative Americans think.

I don’t really care to have my time wasted by foreigners here with what they think or explaining to what I think.

Really? How about we just stop messing with stuff that doses not concern us. Why are we concerned that the Russians are building a new pipeline? Is it because it bypasses those jackasses in Ukraine? The entire premise of sanctioning a country because they are doing business we don’t want them to is absurd.

Russia is not Communist in any way, shape, or form, and is not expansionist. Let’s stop pushing this propaganda.

“I think most here would rather pay $2 per gallon than $5 regardless any politics behind the pricing.”

Finally, someone who gets it. I understand that Russia wants the pipeline because it brings in money and gives them some measure of control over those nations who use it. I understand that the S doesn’t want it for those very same reasons, however, these are independent nations and they get to make up their own minds. How would we feel if some nation tried to tell us what to do (that would cost us more money and create problems of supply). That said if we want to prevent this the answer is to undercut the Russian price. With our fracking we now have a surplus, use that to supply the Euro-nations and take away Putins’ profits. I don’t like dictators, be they individuals or nations.

That’s it. Nobody bans US imports in Europe.

I thought Sally Field said if women ran the world, there’d be no wars ?

Former President Barack Obama said Monday that the world would be a better place if every country was run by women.

“Now women, I just want you to know you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us,” the two-term president said at an Obama Foundation event in Singapore.

“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything… living standards and outcomes,” he told the crowd.

Has anyone actually seen Homobama and Sally Fields in the same room at the same time?

Isn’t it amusing how the armchair isolationist brigade cheers Russian middle east adventurism and expansonist moves in Europe? Ha ha.
