What Gazprom and Rosneft do on gas between China, Europe and the US
What the contacts between Gazprom and Rosneft with China and the EU mean for the United States. The point of Giuseppe Gagliano
The chairman of the Russian energy giant Gazprom Board of Directors Alexey Miller has announced that Nord Stream 2 will begin their all'all'Europa supply of gas by the end of 2021.
WHAT THE GAZPROM CEO SAID
Specifically, the CEO pointed out that requests from China have increased since for the fourth time in 2021 the requests exceeded what was contractually agreed.
DOUBLE SUCCESS
From a geopolitical point of view, a double success: on the one hand towards the failed attempts by the American administration to interrupt Nord Stream 2, and on the other hand towards China which will increasingly depend on Russia for gas. .
This means that the synergy in the energy sector between Russia and China can only consolidate.
THE IRONY OF FATE (FOR THE USA)
But the irony of history seems to have no end (especially towards the United States). In fact, the other large Russian multinational in the energy sector, namely Rosneft, would be willing to join Gazprom in the supply of gas to Europe, as explicitly stated by Igor Sechin CEO of the Russian multinational and confirmed by the highest Russian authorities.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE GAZPROM-ROSNEFT AGREEMENT
In geopolitical terms, this means that the United States will increasingly have to go down to the negotiating table with both Russia and China not only with regard to Afghanistan, but also with regard to the choices that will be made in the context of the European Union.
This is an indirect way of saying that American hegemony is gradually eroding.
