Let us clarify some points so that there is no confusion:
- There are three pipelines extending from Algeria (Hassi R'Mal) to Europe (two to Spain and one to Italy), as shown in the attached picture. The line you are talking about is to strengthen this supply network and not a new line, knowing that this network does not only provide gas to Europe, as Tunisia and Morocco also benefit from it, in addition to Algeria.
- The project of this line began in the 1970s and remained the focus of studies for years before its effectiveness was confirmed, in addition to confirming the technical possibility of its completion, which only happened in the 2000s.
- Considering that Russia is working to disrupt the project, it must be taken into account that one of the most important factors that was disrupting the project is the security issue due to the activity of terrorist groups on the borders between the participating countries. The Ain Amenas incident in Algeria is an example.
- Algeria is an ally of Russia and has ambitions to join BRICS. Russia can convince Russia to disrupt the project without the need to inflame the situation in the rest of the agreement countries (Niger and Nigeria).
You are well aware that russia is a terrorist country. Not only "classical", but also economic. And there are plenty of examples of this. For example, one of the goals of destabilizing the eastern regions of Ukraine and their occupation in 2014 was purely economic, or rather resource-based. If you study this information, you will see that from 2010 to 2014, in those regions were discovered and explored huge deposits of shale gas. And the volumes that for many decades could provide all of Europe with gas, cheaper than gas from Russia. We were already preparing to sign contracts with international companies to develop the deposits, and... russia came to our country with war....
Now Russia has shown the whole world that it is a fake country, at least as far as its "greatness" and "power" are concerned. So now it is just helping to organize coups and destabilize transit countries to disrupt this project. It can't start a full-fledged war in the region anymore.
