According to the news released by Russia on September 27, two natural gas pipelines leading to Europe were leaking at the same time. Russia said that when two leaks occurred in the Nord Stream 1 natural gas pipeline, the pressure on Nord Stream 2 also dropped sharply, and it was finally judged that there was a problem with the pipeline. Regarding the leakage of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines, Russia claimed that the pipeline was damaged. This news is bad news for Europe, because Europe is very dependent on Nord Stream gas pipelines, and Europe expects the smooth flow of Nord Stream gas pipelines in winter. Previously, Russia announced that it would close the Nord Stream No. 1 gas pipeline indefinitely, but it gave Europe new hope. Russia announced that if Germany wanted, it could open the Nord Stream No. 2 gas pipeline.
Before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Germany suddenly announced the suspension of the operation of the Nord Stream No. 2 natural gas pipeline. The gas pipeline was originally completed in 2021, and it was just waiting for Germany to open the valve, but at a critical moment, Germany chose to close the operation of the Nord Stream No. 2 natural gas pipeline. According to the plan, the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline can transport 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe every year. The completion of the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline project encountered strong opposition from the United States, Polish and Ukrainian . In the end, Germany surrendered to the low investment and did not open this "main artery" of European natural gas. When Europe was in an energy crisis, the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline had become the focus.
Nowadays, Europe is very much in need of importing natural gas from Russia, but Russia gave a multiple-choice question, which is to force Germany to open the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. At the critical moment, there were problems with the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. Global Defense Observation and judgment that the United States has the greatest suspicion of damage, because if Russia cannot provide natural gas to Europe, the United States will become the winner because it can provide liquefied natural gas to Europe. Now every LNG natural gas ship can make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. For the United States, the best outcome is that Russia cannot supply gas to Europe. Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine on February 24, and since then, a chaotic situation began in Europe.
The result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has strengthened the strong position of the US dollar. This is the result of the long-term layout of the US dollar. Now the US is harvesting the whole world through the strength of the US dollar, because the US dollar is the main currency in world trade, and the return of the US dollar has allowed the US to obtain more funds. 202209349/Global Defense Observation/Ali, the US Federal Reserve has further stimulated the strength of the US dollar through interest rate hikes , so that it can further harvest the whole world. It can be seen from the exchange rate of the US dollar and the euro that in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Europe has become a loser. The loss of EU is not only the continuous depreciation of the euro, but also the United States has robbed European energy imports.
After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States took the lead in sanctioning Russia's energy exports, and the EU immediately followed suit. In fact, the EU was "shotting itself in the foot" because more than 50% of the natural gas in the EU needs to be imported from Russia. The final result is that the energy prices in Europe are soaring, and energy supply is insufficient. In addition to natural gas, fuel and electricity are also in the same situation. After the damage to the gas pipelines of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 were damaged, Europe was already nervous because if the pipeline was not repaired, Europe would be very uncomfortable in winter. The United States did not make any statement at the critical moment, so it was very strange.
