New US sanctions against the gas pipeline “Nord stream-2” is caused by the protection of their business interests. As noted by Dmitry Medvedev, the Washington, this time not even trying to hide that attempt to usurp the energy impact on the European state.

“the Project (the gas pipeline “Nord stream 2″) — a direct threat to American businesses. USA wants to put their expensive LNG to Europe, and the project is stopping them. Competition, of course, they don’t want because it’s their business” — with no disguised sarcasm described the logic of the United States Deputy Chairman of the Russian security Council and Chairman of “United Russia” Dmitry Medvedev. “It is the position of the state Department, and spit on their European partners for solidarity in a crisis, and so on. From such simplicity and borzosti take aback, but apparently the situation is so bad that we need any imitation of activity,” — said Medvedev on his page in sotsseti “Vkontakte”.

it Should be noted that full-life “Nord stream – 2” the statutory period “Gazprom” has failed because the company and its European partners, which provides investment half of the project, at the end of last year fell numerous political and economic sanctions, mostly from Washington, which led to their refusal to participate in the laying of the pipeline through the Baltic sea.

First, Washington justified the failure of international sanctions — U.S. officials sought “a plausible reason for the protection of human rights” or insisted on the aggressive behavior of Russia. However, in mid-July, the government of Denmark, the last of the international authorities of the state, gave permission to the Russian pipeline laying barge “Fortuna”, and then us sanctions against the domestic court was in fact invalid.

“it used to justify illegal international sanctions seek out a “plausible” reason: the protection of human rights or the aggressive behavior of the country and the individual. “Nord stream – 2″ all called by their names And the elections on the nose. Sadly,” — said Medvedev.

“it is Not only sad, but also primitive. “Nord stream – 2” is actually built. If in the old days, protesting against its creation Washington, rather, boasted muscles, at the present time such attempts are reminiscent of the “exercises for ear” — and not profit, and looks ridiculous,” — said the Director of the energy development Fund Sergey Pikin.
