US media: Russia has implemented the largest energy project since the collapse of the USSR

December 3 2019 12

Recently we Reportedas Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping launched the operation of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline. And so, the American edition of The Wall Street Journal appreciated the importance of this gas transportation project for further Russian-Chinese relations and the "global order led by the United States."

The largest project in Russia (energy - ed.) Since the collapse of the USSR - the Power of Siberia gas pipeline - is a real link that strengthens cooperation between two world powers, each of which challenges the United States

- wrote the publication.

The publication also cited the views of a number of experts. For example, according to the findings of former CIA analyst Erica Down, who now works at Columbia University, Beijing and Moscow, having joined forces, sent a signal to the world community that there is an alternative to the global order led by Washington.

According to the publication, the supply of Russian natural gas to China will become a serious obstacle to the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States. It doesn’t matter if Washington and Beijing agree on trade, energy and other issues.

Anne Mikalski, an energy expert at Rice University, agrees with these findings. She added that after the launch of the Power of Siberia, the United States “will lose certain opportunities” for LNG supplies to China.

It should be recalled that a month before the launch of the Power of Siberia, China’s China Petrochemical Corp. (known as the Sinopec Group) and the American Alaska Gasline Development Corp. signed an agreement of intent related to the development of an LNG plant in Alaska. The project is estimated at $ 43 billion. The capacity of the LNG plant will be 20 million tons of LNG per year (about 27,6 billion cubic meters per year). They want to build a gas pipeline (about 800 miles) from the northern fields in Alaska to the LNG plant in the south of the state. Alaska authorities, China Investment Corp. will also participate in the project. and Bank of China Ltd. The document itself was signed during a visit by US President Donald Trump to China. What will now be with these intentions is unknown.

Intentions are a good thing. And not limited in time. Yes, we want. Yes we can. Or maybe we won’t. Time will tell. China sits well on the river bank. Many who pass by.

All for China, Europe, USA! And when you raise the welfare of Russian citizens, as in Europe and the USA? When it comes to even the minimum wage, the government and the State Duma immediately change their mood!

  The welfare of Russians is now at the level of citizens of Germany. Up to a tenth of a percent.
  The calculation is very complicated, it’s not your salary of 700 euros, but the level of consumer prices, a communal apartment, and a comfortable environment.

    The citizens of Germany in 1949?
    It is very doubtful that even at that level.

    Yes Yes. To come to this conclusion, the calculation must be "very complex".

      Well, at least the fact that the average Russian has property worth 70 thousand euros. IN RUSSIAN PRICES - an apartment, a car, a cottage (with land). The average burgher has a property of 50 thousand euros - In GERMAN PRICES - car and half-house / half-apartment (average).
      Of course, the Russian iPhone liberal only considers how many iPhones a year a German or Russian can buy. Here, yes, if you do not drink, eat, live, Germany is ahead.

        Yeah. And you can also meet the figures that the Germans have 5 thousand rubles per capita, and the Russians have 7 lemons per euro.
        In fact, at the end of 2018, Russia (the 21st economy in the world) "cost" 607,3 billion euros. This is all, completely.
        And Germany (the 5th economy in the world) "cost" 4.393,7 billion euros.
        At the same time, the average Russian "cost" 4.167 euros (43rd place among economically significant countries), and the average German, 52.857 euros (18th place among economically significant countries).
        It should be noted that the average German is not rich by European standards. He, of course, is richer than Eastern European citizens. But against the background of Western European looks quite modest. Irish, Spaniards, Portuguese, Finns, Norwegians, Greeks - that’s who is inferior to the Germans. The rest live noticeably wealthier.
        Well, perhaps the Italians are about the same.

        Damn, what are you confusing GDP figures with bills in your pocket. GDP is generated from ANY trade operations in the country. The student received a scholarship of 300 euros, went to a prostitute and paid 20 euros - GDP increased by 20 euros, this lady of difficult behavior bought panties for this money - another 20, the seller paid for e-mail. energy - still - 20 ... But this is a real turn. And in the financial market - he sold a share for 100 euros - + to GDP. Bought back + to GDP, sold again - again 100 euros to GDP.
        Two exchange robots, trading among themselves a one-cent share 600 times per second, can raise GDP by a million euros.
        In Russia, the financial market accounts for 2% of GDP. In the USA - 80%. That is why the Americans consider our military spending at the rate of 3,5 rubles per dollar, and not 1 to 65.
        And the richest people in the world are Greek Cypriots, who have 250 thousand euros of property per person. Although one local resident says that it’s a lie, since almost all the property on the island belongs to the monks - houses, hotels, factories and power plants.

    Finely soaked.
    Counted, rounded, averaged, fitted. Depending on the desired / set goal.
    You can only believe those statistics that he himself compiled and then very carefully because of unincluded and excluded factors.

  In short, never in the foreseeable future.
  The welfare of the population by order cannot be raised. And now there are no economic prerequisites for this.
