This is because Russia has been attacking shipping. Including at least one NATO country flagged commercial vessel. Things were “spinning out of control” so Turkey must put Putinist Russia on a leash there.
Praise God for Constantinople.

According to this, they back tracked on that, just like Zelenskyy apparently back tracked on meeting with the Russians.
They do what they are told. My question is why?
“Turkey says it cannot stop the passage of warships through its straits following request from Ukraine”
Besides Turkey isn’t gonna piss off russia right now, they are trying to broker a ceasefire between russia and ukraine since they have close relations with both
Who said that it was Russia attacking the ships?
“My question is why?”
Perhaps because a blockade is an act of war?
Shouldn’t let them leave the Black Sea either.
There’s so much misinformation out there I don’t believe any of it.
Ok chickenhawk, I don’t see you grabbing a gun and going over there to fight
Were any ships bombed last week? No. Something has changed. Now what could that be? Apparently, bombing neutral ships is part Putinist Russia “self defense.” Chin up, buttercup.
not true..yet anywhy
Yesterday Turkey said they had to let Russia through - today, no passage.
God only knows what’s going on behind closed doors in governments all over the world.
Turkey, a NATO member, won’t block access to the Black Sea by cutting off an international strait. It is an act of war. It risks a military confrontation with Russia.

And Turkey is a NATO member. Welcome to WW-III.
Go on any flight radar, we’ve had a global hawk circling just off the southern shores of Crimea for awhile. It’s unusual for this to show up, is it to alert commercial traffic? (That’s already avoiding the area anyway) Or are we daring Putin to try something?

When I was a kid was confused by the term “chickenhawk.” So I looked it up and found out it was a Vietnam war epiphtet spit at patriots by America hating and USSR supporting Democrats.
The intersection between modern neo isolationists on the right and Marxist Democrats is quite amusing to me. Birds of a feather flock together I guess.
That’s nice, don’t care, your still a chickenhawk
