On Friday night, July 28th, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he would sign into law the increased economic sanctions (passed by 98-2 in the Senate and 419-3 in the House) against any business that is declared to have "knowingly provided goods or services ... for construction, modernisation, or repair of Russia’s energy export pipelines.” Russia is the largest energy-supplier to the world’s largest energy-market, which is Europe, or the EU. The biggest proportion of that trade is in Europe’s main source of energy, which is gas, which is pipelined into Europe from Russia. So: those pipelines are vitally important not only to Russia’s economy but to Europe’s. [premium_newsticker id=”154171″]

The U.S. oligarchs have greatly reduced the effectiveness of this enormous European and Russian investment, and this is already war by the U.S. oligarchs (and their congressional agents) against both Europe and Russia; but, the new sanctions aim to go even further to absolutely cripple Europe and Russia.

No American NG will be sold to Europe, that is the ‘happy, smiling’ face put onto these heinous sanctions.
The truth is that the lopsided vote is the result of AIPAC strong-arming Congress to vote for them so that Israeli NG, taken from the Leviathan field, and stolen from Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt will be exported to Europe.
That’s the NG that Europe will be forced to buy, not American NG.
