As I said last week, Russia’s long term strategic goal is to retake Constantinople from the Turks.
What we have to ask as a nation is if we will risk nuclear war to stop them
I’m not sure if I agree with you, but so far you are the only person who has even mentioned the history between the Russians and the Turks. Like I said on a previous post, Russia didn’t have MiGs and T-90s at Sevastapol back in the day. They have them now and the Turks are taking notice. it could get ugly fast, but my money is on the MiGs, Su’s etc.
“Russia’s long term strategic goal is to retake Constantinople from the Turks.”
You can bet that if the Russians are even considering it, they know it has to be done in the next 15 months.
China also knows the timetable for their expansionism they have planned for the SCS.
