At “Quarta Repubblica” the story of the gigantic submarine “gas tap”
At the heart of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine there is Nord Stream 2the gigantic submarine gas pipeline that starts right from Russia and reaches Germany through the Baltic Sea: the work, the twin of Nord Stream 1 that went into operation ten years ago, was built by the Russian gas giant Gazprom in collaboration with various companies Europeans could lead to Europe 55 billion cubic meters of gas. It could because the work is currently still blocked due to bureaucratic problems. TO “Fourth Republic” the geopolitical analyst Dario Fabbri he explained, however, that behind this stop there would also be other interests: “The new gas pipeline is the worst nightmare in the US – he declared – because it would represent a much feared complementarity between Russia and Germany. Hence Washington’s hostility which at this moment makes it impossible to activate at this stage “.

Nord Stream 2 is a bridge between Russia and the heart of Europe and today, with skyrocketing prices, it becomes a weapon of blackmail in the Ukrainian crisis: “The Russians will not increase gas supplies by one drop until that gas pipeline – continues Fabbri – Germany, also under American pressure, tells the Kremlin that it will not be approved until the troops withdraw from the border “.
