Immediate thoughts:
How is LNG passed through a pipeline?
Does it have to have sufficient pressure to do so?
EU is not pressured sufficiently to abide by the sanctions on Russia.
Magnitsky Act
Since 2016 the bill, which applies globally, authorizes the US government to sanction those who it sees as human rights offenders, freeze their assets, and ban them from entering the U.S.
President's EO on Corruption & Human Rights Abuses - partially the same, no?
Would either of those be considered "pressure" on those involved in human rights abuses in Ukraine?
โ a LOT of human trafficking goes through Ukraine, many then go into Israel and out from there
Would either of those be considered "pressure" on the corrupt in Ukraine and those who are engaged in corrupt behavior/activities with them?
The answer to the foregoing is all YES.
BUT- did POTUS exert any pressure on Zelinsky about the Bidens?
Who brought the Bidens up in the conversation?
Zelinsky, not POTUS
How did Zelinsky segue into that?
Was it right after POTUS asked for a 'favor'?
NO. It was like 300 words later.
Did POTUS exert any pressure on Zelinsky wrt Bidens?
NO.
Go backwards a bit -
What was the favor POTUS asked for?
-gain custody of the DNC server and transfer to US custody
POTUS mentioned "one of your wealthy people"
= oligarch
Would US having custody of the DNC server exert pressure on Zelinsky?
NO
Would it exert pressure on many in DC?
oh fuck yes it would
It seems to me that POTUS wants it (pressure) differentiated within the call
NO pressure on Zelinsky to investigate Bidens
Enormous pressure on the corrupt and human traffickers
EU is feeling pressure from the position in which they put themselves wrt Russia & LNG
I've only had 1/2 cup of coffee so if this is rambling nonsense, feel free to ignore.
