US Want Full Access to Bulgarian Military Bases

"The United States demand that Bulgaria grants them unlimited access to Bulgaria's military bases and equipment, and Bulgaria does not agree."

"Negotiations concerning US military bases here still haven't been concluded, Angel Naydenov, head of the Parliamentary Defence Committee explained for private Nova television. Three negotiation stages have been so far completed since October 2005, and Bulgaria is currently very close to the finish, he said."

"However, major disagreements arise around the conditions of access to the bases. While Bulgaria wants guarantees that these facilities would not be used without its consent, the US demand full access. They also want to apply their own jurisdiction and laws when an American violates the law on Bulgarian territory. Bulgarians do not agree on that point and this has stalled the negotiations for a while, the MP added."

More strong arming in the effort to achieve "full spectrum dominance" through force or intimidation. What right do we have insisting that the laws of sovereign nations should not apply to any of our people, while dictating that our own jurisdiction spans the globe. We're supposed to be immune from braking anyone elses' laws, but the world must comply to ours. Is this the kind of behavior of "good guys"? Is this an example of freedom and democracy we're supposed to be promoting throughout the world?

This is the classic behavior of conquerers, so let's cut the bullshit and call a spade a spade. Conquerers don't always need to attack, just threatening economic or political war, can often achieve the same goal.
