Erodgan’s bluff has been called by the Russians. Reports are they dispatched a couple nuke subs and a destoryer to the E. Med.

Erodgan would be a fool to even give thought to putting his words into action.

Russia and the "Ottoman Empire" go WAY back in their mutual animosity and fear.

Russia has many current and past reasons to humble Turkey...but it's the current one's that should scare the hell out of the Turks.

Unrestricted access through the Bosporus and Dardanelles is the biggie...along with control of pipelines and energy resources...and the Caucasus.

I can't come up with a good reason why Russia would not dare the Turks to get froggy...without regard to anything going on between Turkey and Israel. Russia has their own reasons.
