Brussels won’t even be so kind as to offer up an apology…”Hey Bulgaria, sorry guys we misread the whole Russia/gas thing. We thought some hardball would make Russia grovel like we grovel to our US masters.”
The newly crowned Queen of Brussels, Federica Mogherini, had these words of comfort to offer Bulgaria regarding South Stream.
In other words…blah, blah, we will form a committee, blah, blah, which will form a committee, blah, blah, which will do committee stuff and then we will lend Bulgaria $400 million USD in return for reforms, austerity and an “opening” up of their economy to our banks and speculators.
