"Turkey tonight reportedly CLOSED the Black Sea to Russian ships"

Source?

There's NO WAY Turkey could close the Balck Sea to Russia. But they could close the Bosporus Strait.

For a little while.

But that strait is covered under the Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Turkish Straits of July 20, 1936.

It would be a clear act of war on Turkey's part and would offer legitimacy to any Russian military action to re-open them.

NATO WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS.

InfoWars is the source, and they cite a CNN report and also a Russian source which is protesting and saying Turkey has no right, to which a Turkish source that said the country is "authorized to close the Straits to all foreign warships in wartime or when it was threatened by aggression."

So consider this suspect source, to be sure:

TURKEY BLOCKADES RUSSIAN SHIPPING, BLACK SEA FLEET COMPLETELY CUT OFF
