U.S. Secretary of State visited Bulgaria on February 5
to discuss that nation’s contribution to NATO’s war effort in Afghanistan,
the intensification of joint military training and exercises,
pressuring the host country into dropping Russian-made arms in favor of Western ones
and the further sabotaging of energy deals
– natural gas and nuclear-
between Bulgaria and Russia.
China’s Xinhua News Agency wrote ahead of Clinton’s visit that,
“Analysts believe there is no doubt that Bulgaria will respond positively to Clinton’s foreign policy,
even if they are related to the issues in Iran or Syria.”
