I don't understand what happened with this. Did Russia cancel South Stream because they got fed up with the politics of EU? Or is it back on again because Bulgaria signed the deal?

This is totally insane.

Forcing poor people in places like Bulgaria and Romania to pay for expensive gas just because Russia's gas isn't politically correct according to Washington. Same thing in Sweden - rather than get some Russian gas from North stream cheaply, they'd rather use more expensive domestic methods to produce gas. A relative of mine has a very important government job relating to gas and oil. He was told to avoid Russian gas at all cost, which proved very costly and was inconvenient.

The EU has turned into a tragicomic circus who cares more about dancing to the tune of Washington, than its own least fortunate citizens, people who are already struggling to afford to heat their houses.
