The only conspiracy I see is on the part of NATO.

NATO commander says Black Sea of strategic importance for enlarged alliance

The Black Sea is going to become a very strategic path for the flow of ressources," Johnson said.

"The Bulgarian navy could play a very substantive role for the security of the southeastern flank of NATO.

(It) can provide a valuable contribution for our collective security with proactive deployments in the Black Sea."

--------------

"Proactive" NATO deployments in the Black Sea, eh? Bosnia to Kosovo to FYROM to Bulgaria and on to.......

Proactive: acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes.

NATO commander says Black Sea of strategic importance for enlarged alliance

Here are the signs that the script is NOW coming to an end :


Mr Saakashvili, president of Georgia, announced on TV that his forces were ready to sink shipping off Abkhazia.
Russia has peacekeeping forces in the rebel provinces "I earlier ordered... that we should immediately open fire on, and sink, every ship which enters Abkhazia," he said.
Speaking just days after a Georgian patrol boat fired shots at a civilian vessel in the Black Sea, he added that Russian tourists should "pay attention" to his words.
Russia, which has close ties to the Black Sea province, said it would respond to any attack on its citizens with "the necessary rebuff".
The waters have been out of Georgian control for more than a decade.
