The #US slaps sanctions on another company involved in the controversial #Russia-#GermanyNord Stream 2 pipeline even as it stops short of more drastic steps.https://t.co/xKyb47n8Nu
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States was imposing sanctions on Transadria Ltd., a shipping company linked to Russia, as well as two vessels.
President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... ’s administration took the action as part of a required report to Congress on action against the pipeline, which Ukraine and other Eastern European states fear will embolden Moscow and reduce their leverage.
But Biden has waived sanctions on the main company behind Nord Stream, concluding that the pipeline will go ahead anyway and that it is better to work with Germany.
"Even as the administration continues to oppose the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, including via our sanctions, we continue to work with Germany and other allies and partners to reduce the risks posed by the pipeline," Blinken said in a statement.
Germany, in a deal with the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... , agreed to economic support to Ukraine on transitioning to clean energy and said it would insist that Russia keep gas flowing through its neighbor.
The administration’s approach has found wide opposition in the US Congress, with one Republican senator citing the issue to hold up State Department nominations.

[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don today sentenced Batyr Magomedov, a native of Dagestan, deported from Georgia to 11 years in a strict regime colony, recognizing him as a member of a terrorist organization.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, a court in Georgia on July 23, 2020 decided to deport Batyr Magomedov, a native of the Dagestani village of Novy Khushet, who had served a sentence in the case of crossing the Turkish-Georgian border. In September 2020, the Georgian authorities handed over Batyr Magomedov, against whom a case was initiated in Russia for involvement in the armed underground, to Russian border guards. The defense's instructions on the threat of unjustified criminal prosecution were ignored, the lawyer stated.
Batyr Magomedov, 27, was accused of participation in the activities of a terrorist organization. The maximum punishment under these articles provides for up to twenty and up to fifteen years in prison, respectively.
"It has been established that from June 2013 to May 2016, the defendant, while in the Syrian Arab Republic, armed himself with firearms and ammunition, took part in armed formations. From March 3, 2015 to September 27, 2020, he took part in activities of the banned international terrorist organization "Islamic State," told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent in the press service of the Southern District Military Court.
Magomedov was found guilty by the court. He was sentenced to 11 years in a strict regime colony, serving the first 3 years and 6 months in prison. The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal, the court said.
The "Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from Batyr Magomedov and his representatives regarding the decision of the court. The criminal case against Magomedov entered the court on July 12, the process took five sessions, follows from the card index on the website of the Southern District Military Court.
