Nord Stream 2 and other European moves away from the USA: USA too damaged to lead?
Proposed Nord Stream and connecting pipelines to Europe
(by Samuel Bailey)
Despite opposition from the USA, Germany and Russia intend to put the Nord Stream 2 delivery in place:
February 18, 2021
Germany’s gas industry has said additional natural gas import infrastructure such as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is essential for keeping competition in Europe up and prices low. Europe currently has more natural gas import capacities than it actually needs, which is good news for supply security and competition in the world’s biggest natural gas import market, Timm Kehler, head of lobby group Zukunft Gas, told journalists at a press conference. “Of course, one can argue that this one pipeline or this one terminal is fully utilised or not,” he said. However, “this is about competition, that is our central argument. Nord Stream 2 ensures that gas prices in Europe remain low for the industry. If we didn’t have it, we would be talking about several billion euros of additional burdens for industry in Europe,” he argued. Kehler also pointed to decreasing domestic natural gas production within the EU, claiming that this is another reason why the continent should strive for new import capacity. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/nord-stream-2-saves-european-industry-several-billion-euros-german-gas-group
U.S. President Joe Biden the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a bad deal for Europe and will make determine whether sanctions are in order to stop the project from Russia to Germany, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Tuesday. 02/16/21 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nordstream-usa-biden-idUSKBN2AG29A
And it is not just Russia that the Europeans are turning to, notice the following from CNN:
Europe is now trading more goods with China than the United States, a sign of how the pandemic is transforming the global economy.
Data released this week by the European Union’s statistics service attributed the shift to a 5.6% increase in imports from China in 2020 and a 2.2% increase in exports. Meanwhile, there was a “significant drop” in trade with the United States, with imports plunging 13.2% and exports falling 8.2%. The overall value of EU-China goods trade last year was €586 billion ($706 billion), about €31 billion ($37 billion) more than between the European Union and the United States. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/17/economy/europe-china-united-states-trade/index.html
The German publication Deutsche Welle (DW) posted the following:
Special Program – Biden’s America: Too damaged to lead?
Joe Biden says “America is back,” all set to lead the democratic world … But is America still in a position to lead? China’s power and wealth are now greater than ever before. And the US is profoundly weakened, by failed wars overseas and failed politics at home.
US allies in Europe face a fateful choice: do they go all-in with America, or do they try to hedge their bets by nurturing strong relations with China? It’s a choice that will have massive consequences for the future of America in the world. Because how can it lead, if nobody will follow? DW Chief International Editor Richard Walker is joined by some of the world’s leading experts on international relations and US politics, and asks Angela Merkel herself: why does she seem so reluctant to embrace American leadership? 02/17/21 https://www.dw.com/en/special-program-bidens-america-too-damaged-to-lead/av-56604025
The above article has a link to a 37 minute program on that topic.
Basically, the Europeans see that the USA is in decline.
But, Europe is NOT looking to Russia or China to lead, it wants to rise up and lead the world itself.
It is figuring, correctly, that the time for the USA to dominate the world will be over soon.
And yes, it will be.
The end of the USA is coming soon.
Perhaps by 2028. Related to that, we made a video:
Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?
Are there prophetic reasons to believe that the USA will not last two complete presidential terms? Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God’s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.
Here is a link to the video: Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?
Europe has no intention of watching the USA decline only to accept dominance by China.
While many see Europe as well past its prime, the reality is that Europe is prophesied to reorganize and dominate the world, including in trade:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13, NKJV, throughout)
1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:1-10)
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:3)
Those led into captivity and killed with the sword will include the USA and its British-descended allies.
For those who do not believe the Europeans could do this, notice the following prophecy:
5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Yet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.
8 For he says,
‘Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?'” (Isaiah 10:5-11)
Note that the Assyrian power does not think it would do this, but that it is in his heart to destroy and cut off not a few nations, which this leader is prophesied to do in Daniel 11:39-43. Isaiah’s reference to Samaria is a prophetic reference to the USA (see Spiritual Samaritans: Old and New) and the one to Assyria has to do with Germany (see Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy).
This reorganized Europe will be led by one that the Bible refers to as the “Beast” (Revelation 13:1-10, 17:13) and the King of the North (Daniel 11:40). He will come in deceitfully and will one day takes over the USA and its British-descended allies:
23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24)
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. 40 “At the time of the end king of the North … *Daniel 11:39-40)
Notice that this leader will “devise his plans against the strongholds” (Daniel 11:24) and defeat the power with “the strongest fortresses” (Daniel 11:39), which is the USA along with its British-descended allies (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).
It should be noted that this Beast leader is NOT Russian (see also Is Russia the King of the North?). Despite claims from Protestant Joel Richardson, this Beast leader is NOT Islamic (see also Is There an Islamic Antichrist?).
While most in the USA and Canada are somewhat oblivious as to what is happening in Europe, the Europeans have been keenly watching the USA and Asia, and are moving in a direction away from the USA and towards its prophetic destiny.
We continue to see Europe moving towards its biblically-revealed role.
