Bulgaria Assassination Attempt, Oil Pipelines and Political Messages
An assassination attempt on a Bulgarian political leader, where the gun misfired at point-blank range, is analyzed as a potential "message" rather than a genuine killing attempt. The incident coincided with Bulgaria pulling out of the Burgas-Alexandropolis oil pipeline project, which is a major Russian interest. The hosts suggest the event was rigged to intimidate the government.
