Pipe line .

 


“Right now the tension is increasing and the risk of destabilisation is increasing,” Macron said, according to a simultaneous translation of his remarks after the talks. “Neither Russia nor the Europeans want chaos or instability when nations have already suffered from the [coronavirus] epidemic. So we need to agree on concrete measures.”

Apparently the one who needs to have some chaos somewhere is the current President.

  • Is Russia still moving troops to the Ukraine border? It certainly looks like it. A recent trip by the Guardian to the Voronezh and Kursk regions in Russia found a hive of barely hidden military activity as Russian troops continued to position themselves for a potential assault on Ukraine.

  • What have Nord Stream 2 and gas got to do with the Ukraine standoff? 

  • Gas is not just a source of energy, sometimes it is a political weapon. As western countries weigh possible sanctions against Russia for an invasion of Ukraine, the future of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline hangs in the balance.


  • Just a "Terrifying" thought.
