Gazprom to further cut gas supplies to Germany via Nord Stream
Deutsche Welle ^

Posted on 06/16/2022 4:34:04 AM PDT by FarCenter

The Russian energy giant said it was cutting supply volumes to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline by roughly another third, after an initial reduction on Tuesday.

Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Wednesday it would further reduce the capacity of gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to 67 million cubic meters (2,366 million cubic feet) per day.

The decision comes into effect at 01:30 a.m. Moscow time on Thursday (2230 UTC on Wednesday), Gazprom said, adding that the halt was due to the "technical condition of the engine" at a compression station.

The company had announced on Tuesday that it was curbing supplies through the same undersea pipeline to up to 100 million cubic meters per day, down from 167.

Gazprom initially blamed the delayed return of equipment that had been sent to German company Siemens for repairs.

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.

OK so we’re all in agreement then

Russia is a murderous invading menace that can’t be trusted

What about “assertive power willing to stand for its interests”?

“Sweden and Finland weren’t “invited” to join NATO...they made the request to join each on their own”

Perhaps, either way, same results - our Neocon ‘friends’ TOTALLY stepped in it.

And so we agree that the Ukraine is losing the war and that Canada is being enslaved by the Francophones.

Sanctions like this may shut down Germany economically. Trump was right.

Sweden and Finland most certainly were invited to join NATO, many times, they probably have a standing invitation that dates back to the Cold War.

Both countries sat it out against the Nazis too. Although Finland was somewhat justified.

Finland participated in the Second World War initially in a defensive war against the Soviet Union, followed by another battle against the Soviet Union acting in concert with Nazi Germany and then finally fighting alongside the Allies against Germany.

“Here’s a question for you: Does this exceed the PURE STUPIDITY of inviting Sweden and Finland to join NATO without first checking with Turkey?”

‘Pure stupidity’ was Pidor Putin sending nuclear armed warplanes into sovereign Swedish airspace (not just their ADIZ) thinking this gangster tactic would intimidate the Swedes and the Finns. Turned out it just pissed them off enough that they finally decided to join NATO.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-russian-warplanes-violated-swedish-26594455

“Russian warplanes armed equipped with nuclear weapons violated Swedish airspace, according to reports.

Two Russian planes flew over the country near Gotland, earlier this month, Swedish media have reported, in “a deliberate act of intimidation”.

On March 2, two Russian planes took off from the air base in Kaliningrad, escorted by two fighter jets.

The four jets, two Sukhoi SU 27 and two Sukhoi SU 24’s, then violated Swedish airspace over the Swedish Baltic Sea island of Gotland.”

The other result is that Sweden issued a notice to Russia that their aircraft will be considered hostile should they invade Swedish airspace in the future. That’s the diplomatic way of saying, “Trespassers will be shot”

This one act of penultimate arrogance not only put Finland and Sweden into NATO it has already resulted in NATO forces taking up positions on the barely defended Finland-Russia border. NATO forces are now just 160km from St. Petersburg and the only thing between them and a nice dinner at Restaurant Prospekt is the 220 troops of the 138th Mechanized Brigade who didn’t get sent to Ukraine.

That’s pretty much it. Pooty left the back door to Russia wide open.

Good thing NATO is there to keep an eye on it for him.

Don’t seem those countries will be joining NATO, so not sure what you’re getting at.

Québec and Ontario have made a living out of stealing Alberta's energy wealth.

You don't hear a word about that from FR's Turdeau lovers.

Keep telling yourself whatever gets you through the day.

“No, Americans will be fine.”

That’s a nice sentiment. I hope when this is over that you and your people are fine, too.
