Quatar will build gas pipeline through Syria for us Europeans - no need for Rasputins gas - Russia is losing 🤡

bigfakenews.bsky.social•80 days ago

How should they pay ? Rubel is worth nothing 😁

pete-etep.bsky.social•80 days ago

its ok take your time with sanctions bulgaria no fucken rush

radkokrastanov.bsky.social•79 days ago

Given our proximity to RuZia it will be fair our efforts to be recognised at least a little bit. The transit pipe feeds HU and RS with gas, not Bulgaria. Cutting off RU from SWIFT is a Bulgarian idea.

reallextalionis.bsky.social•79 days ago

If Bulgaria does it then Orban may not survive the winter.
🤔

radkokrastanov.bsky.social•79 days ago

Unfortunately it's not that easy. HU has veto rights in EU, they may block UA assistance packages. Also Orban can hit BG in particular by vetoing key decisions like Schengen. Tomorrow (12 Dec) is the deadline for such moves.

Thanks fella, I let my dislike of Orban write my response before I read further into it. Anyway, found you and a follow so a little win in the end.

They will be treading carefully. The place is infested and riddled with orcs.

james-lowry.bsky.social•80 days ago

Lmao Russia is such a broke ass bitch. Maybe they can do another Pepsi deal and sell some ships lol

spacemanspiff66.bsky.social•79 days ago

Oh no, please don't stop the transit of Russian gas, we want to give more money to the Russian war machine.

socke81.bsky.social•80 days ago

So if the picture that google has spit out is correct, the statement makes no sense because the gas runs through the Ukraine and next year no more gas will pass through there anyway.

lastefanita.bsky.social•80 days ago

There is another pipe via Turkey for Serbia and Hungary, without exits in Bulgaria, which pipe is built by ex-pm pseudo "euro atlantic" borisov regardless of EU sanctions... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Bulgaria

therealnessie.bsky.social•79 days ago

….’In October 2023 Bulgaria passed a law taxing Russian gas in transit to Hungary, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina at 20 levs (10.22 euro) per MWh,[29] but due to pressure from Hungary, this was not implemented.[57]’

lastefanita.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not exactly even though HU threatened with shengen vote ban.. after a farcical chalga singer's party destroyed the ruling coalition, using the N Macedonian discussion about BG minorities (the coalition that countered borisov's dominance 20-30%), we don't have a stable majority to vote such things

therealnessie.bsky.social•79 days ago

That’s really interesting and thanks for sending me down another Wiki rabbit hole!
I see what you mean about no stable majority. That’s some coalition!

lastefanita.bsky.social•79 days ago

20-30% borisov (shady economy, trump like "friends"), 4% chalga, 15% pro-soviet nationalist (DE afd style), 15% "minorities" party with little to no interest in minorities after elections, 10% the ex BG communist party revised into 'socialists' (pro russia, anti lgbtq), 15-20% wanna try reforms...

mlco.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yes they can stop it

mycoffee.bsky.social•79 days ago

Ok. Shut it off. I'd rather freeze than fuel Russia's army.

mazinger123.bsky.social•80 days ago

🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 Orbán

Another link for the rest with no Bloomberg subscription:

ebcontrol.bsky.social•79 days ago

another pipeline to Hungary and Serbia in trouble, oh...

radkokrastanov.bsky.social•79 days ago

The pipeline in both links is TurkStream, the one of Bloomberg is behind paywall.

The alternative gas supply chain to HU is the Arad-Szeged pipeline (RU->UA->RO->HU)..

ebcontrol.bsky.social•79 days ago

and UA will close the latter end of 2024

therealnessie.bsky.social•79 days ago

Cut the gas. Cut the war.
Power Europe. Not Putin

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•79 days ago

Who is going to cry for the Putin caressing governments in Serbia and Hungary? Maybe if there’s no gas their people will wake up.

as070.bsky.social•80 days ago

Russia these days
