Ephemera in Stone (subscribe) | 9 hours ago | International
Russia has cut gas supplies to certain countries ( Telegraph , Guardian ) . Bulgaria, Macedonia, Turkey, Greece, and the Czech Republic are affected, Bulgaria especially as it has no other source of gas. I haven’t found a good map of European gas pipelines. There was a good post on the Oil Drum about this the other day. It claims the conflict started in 1992, not in 2006 Russia cannot win a gas war... - see all breaking news
