“The demands of a member of the British Parliament to support US sanctions against Nord Stream 2 indicate that the United States remains the most important political and economic benchmark for London. With the hands of British politicians, the United States continues to exert pressure on Russia and its Nord Stream 2 European partners. In addition, for British Russophobes, singing along with the anti-Russian campaign is a favorite pastime. ” This opinion was expressed by a member of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Sergei Zheleznyak.
According to the politician: “For the sake of supporting the USA, Great Britain demonstrates its readiness to confront with the leading EU country – Germany, accusing it of some kind of“ betrayal ”of Europe only because Berlin seeks to protect its own national interests. London is clearly not interested in the energy security concerns of former EU partners. The demonstrative indifference of Britain to Germany and, in her person to the rest of Europe, became possible after leaving the EU, which was actively supported by Washington. The United States as a whole has an extremely destructive policy towards Europe, with which Washington is much more comfortable interacting, manipulating contradictions and creating internal conflicts.
Talk about the readiness to “bury” the gas pipeline from Great Britain will be very pleasant in Washington, which is making unthinkable efforts to prevent the completion of the Russian-European project. At the same time, Europe clearly understands that energy dependence can arise precisely through the fault of the United States, which stubbornly wants to plant the region on its expensive LNG and are trying to squeeze Russia out of the energy market. ”
