I honestly don’t know what to say anymore...

Canada’s decision to return Nord Stream turbine doesn’t breach anti-Russian sanctions — EC

"EU sanctions regime does not affect technologies which are linked to the transport of natural gas," spokesperson of the European Commission for Climate actions and energy Tim McPhie explained

BRUSSELS, July 11. /TASS/. Canada’s decision to return a turbine for the Nord Stream pipeline does not violate the EU sanctions against Russia, Tim McPhie, spokesperson of the European Commission for Climate actions and energy, told a briefing on Monday.

The return of the turbine does not violate the EU sanctions against Russia because they do not cover the gas transit equipment, he added.

"EU sanctions regime does not affect technologies which are linked to the transport of natural gas," he explained.

"We take note of Canada’s decision to return this turbine to Germany after the maintenance that was being carried out in Canada. So, with the return of this part [the turbine] one of the excuses being used by Russia for the reduce of gas flows on the Nord stream has been removed," he stressed.

The EC official noted that the situation with the halt of supplies via the Nord Stream pipeline is "clearly serious" and that the EC hopes for the resumption of gas supplies after the technical maintenance which is to last for 10 days.

On June 14, Gazprom said it was forced to lower natural gas supplies via Nord Stream against the schedule due to untimely return of gas pumping units from repair by Siemens and identified malfunctions of engines. Siemens Energy claims that after the repair one of the gas pumping units for the North Stream cannot be returned to Germany from Montreal because of Canada’s sanctions against Russia. Due to this, Gazprom is currently using only 40% of Nord Stream capacity to ship gas.

The German authorities expressed doubts that such a strong reduction in supplies had only technical reasons. Berlin proceeds from the fact that after the return of the turbine and after the end of the annual maintenance work, which will last on the gas pipeline until July 21, pumping will be restored in full.

Can't decide for myself whether this is beneficial or not to China.

Theoretical, China needs to reduce her US$, £ and € holding given what happened to Russia after the Ukraine conflict. So China should sell more using Yuan for settlement and buy more using Western currencies to reduce her holding.
The first step is to buy more using rmb. When China exports more rmb, the other countries will then recycle their rmb holdings by buying Chinese products with their rmb.

All personnel aboard the ship are accounted for, however, one sailor was injured. The sailor’s injuries were described as “minor” and they are expected to make a full recovery.

Typical chicken hawk pronouncements coming from a person who's never seen combat, never seen the effects of war other than from the comfort of his home, country far away from the killing zone. It's this type of people that has made the world a more dangerous place because they are guided by their ideology; the tyranny of liberalism.

He's 31 years old. Not particularly old for a "senior policy analyst" and it shows in these shrill, emotional "policy recommendations". It's like the bully always thinks about how they're gonna beat someone up, but never think about what happens when the victim fights back.
The dude probably slept his way to that position. I mean, the dude must have been playing both sides of the gender spectrum. After all, there's no gender or as they call it gender fluid.

Somehow, I take this as a sign that even God has decided to make it plain obvious that the days of the USA are numbered and thus from now on will cause them to suffer disaster upon disaster until the nation ceases to function. I mean it can explain a little on why so many things are going against the USA lately from societal problems, natural disasters, pandemics, Economical problems, food processing/gas storage plants being burnt down and lol, things like A fighter plane being blown overboard because screw you that’s how I roll. If even the heavens have decided that the USA needs to go, you know some one is about to be f&@ked in the a$$. Could honestly account for why Biden seems to be becoming more retarded lately when most US leaders should be able to read from a teleprompter with ease, I mean even Trump didn’t have this kind of difficulty reading from a teleprompter and he is a dumbass mascarading as a genius. I guess even he knows how screwed the nation is becoming and has chosen to let his dementia take even more of a hold on himself in order to remain somewhat stable otherwise, he might drop dead on camera
