Sahra Wagenknecht "EU Should Purchase Gas From Russia"
The former parliamentary group leader of the Left in the Bundestag, Sahra Wagenknecht, announced on Twitter: “Why should the EU not be allowed to purchase gas from Russia while the US imports a record amount of oil from Russia? BuReg must not fall for Trump's hypocrisy. Fracking gas from the USA is an expensive and environmentally harmful alternative! "
In fact, since the Western sanctions were imposed, Russia has become a major oil supplier to the United States. Die Welt reported in February 2020: “Russia has not only significantly increased its export of petroleum and petroleum products to the USA in the past two years - especially in 2019. As the data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of Energy show for the first eleven months of 2019, Russia even became the second largest supplier behind Canada in October and overtook Mexico. "
Poisoning an opposition politician with the neurotoxin Novichok is a heinous crime. “But even if the Kremlin is responsible (for which there is no evidence so far), it is no more hideous to behead or whip to death as opposition members, as is common practice in Saudi Arabia, from which we get oil is “, said the member of the Bundestag. "Nor is it any more hideous than shredding innocent civilians with drones, as the United States, which supplies us with its fracking gas, has done in well over a thousand cases."
