Been telling you, Turkey in the long-run is a much bigger threat than Russia.
Yep. Constantine moved the Capital to Constantinople. Why? Whoever controls the Bosporus controls East-West trade. It made him and the Eastern Roman Empire fabulously Wealthy. Erdogan understands this and is building a new canal around Istanbul to circumvent the Montreaux Convention limitations. It is speculated that he may become the wealthiest man on earth once the canal is complete. Even with limitations the Bosporus gets 2x the traffic of Suez and Panama combined
Well, it’s a threat, anyway.
