In the best traditions of American democracy, Washington tried to pressure European companies to thwart the implementation of the Nord Stream-2 project, but the situation got out of control, yielding unexpected results for the United States.
This was told by the German political analyst Alexander Rahr, commenting on the TV channel “Russia 1” letters of the American ambassador in Berlin, Richard Grenell, to German companies with threats of imposing sanctions for participating in the construction of the gas pipeline.
According to the expert, now Nord Stream-2 will definitely be completed, moreover, bypassing Ukraine and not without the kind of help from Washington. Rahr emphasizes that Grenell, by his actions, “challenged the German public, German entrepreneurs and German politicians.”
He noted that the United States once again tried to turn its course with intimidation, but received a completely unexpected result, because Germany no longer wants to endure such treatment.
“The Germans do not want America to talk to them as if they were vassals. They are tired of it, and business requires protection, ”the German political scientist stated.
