You’ll probably get your wish that the Black Sea becomes a Russian lake. Perhaps you are unaware that part of southeast Europe — our allies — are on the Black Sea. And with an unreliable “ally” along the entirety of the southern Black Sea coast that is a very strategic loss for the West, and a tremendous gain for Russia and moslem western Asia.
“… part of southeast Europe — our allies — are on the Black Sea.”
Good idea! Britain just needs to transfer the minesweepers to Romania, and the Romanians can “lease” them to Ukraine.
You pretty much missed the entire point of what I’m saying. The UK has a very strange obsession with that part of the world. They have had it for over 170 years. Sometimes they fight the turks, sometimes they crush the Greeks,. But the constant, if anything happens in the black sea, the UK acts like it’s a critical interest. And I’ll go one further, if hypothetically we never had another ship from America into or out of the Black Sea, what the hell difference would it make to any American? Would it cut off our pistachio imports or something?
PS, it was just an observation, no reason for the personal insults. Grow up.
