Russell Berman and Rickics Gill In the article for National Interest, they told about the “miserable capitulation” of the US President Joe Bayiden before Russia. In their opinion, the weakness of the current American leader caused two defeats of Washington in foreign policy.
First of all, we are talking about the fact that the leader “allowed” to complete the “North Stream-2”, while canceling the Keystone XL gas pipeline and suppressing the oil and gas sector of the United States. The authorship of the article stressed that the country’s energy independence remained in the past, which “is beneficial to” Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but undermines national security.
Observers recalled that Biden was running as a “hawk” – a supporter of the escalation of relations with Russia, and promised the Kremlin a tough answer “Nevertheless, his administration turned out to be unexpected success for Moscow, and the energy policy is the first failure,” they said.
Berman and Gill were called the second defeat of Russia’s reaction for the appeal of the United States to the states of Central Asia on the possibility of basing American troops there. According to them, Moscow clearly made it clear that he would not tolerate military facilities in Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan, but offered accommodation on their own bases. The authors indicated that Biden “took this proposal into account,” which was unacceptable under the Administration of the Former President Donald Trump.
previously became known that the US administration refused to introduce sanctions against the “Northern Flood-2” in spite of the will of the Congress, the restrictions will not be implemented during the presidency of the current leader Joe Bayden.
In early October, the Danish Energy Agency reported that the “Northern Stream-2” meets the requirements and may begin work. Nord Stream 2 stated that the first thread of the gas pipeline began to fill in gas as part of testing to achieve the required volume and pressure.
