I hope that we retrieve our bribes or stop any further funds to Turkey.

I would propose we wait until the Turkish government reacts. The title is misleading. It is not the Turks in general that threw in the towel, it was the Turkish truckers' union. Unions, especially those in less developed nations, are at base socialist organizations. Like their fellow socialists in Spain, this bunch has decided to cut and run. That does not mean the government of Turkey, and especially the Turkish military shares their cowardess. It's possible they do, but just as possible they don't. They may allow other arrangements. For example maybe some Bulgarian drivers could found to take up the slack, with the Turkish government continuing to allow transit of its territory and use of its ports. If the government chooses to side with the truckers, the military may not.
