Turkey is unilaterally confronting Russia. If Russia and Turkey clash in international waters, does that mean the US must o to the “aid” of Turkey? NATO is still absurd for the American people.
I would root for Russia against Turkey, ultimately Erdogan is going to be a much bigger threat than even Putin.
This keeps warships out of the Black Sea and reduces the chance of another escalation.
The Turks are actually following the treaty that governs transit of warships through the Bosporus.
this is meaningless. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is already in....the Black Sea. They probably have a few smaller ships at a Syrian base, but if they thought they needed them they would have moved them before hand.
