Turkey has begun a de facto blockade of Russian naval vessels,
preventing transit through the Dardanelles and the Strait of Bosporus,
between the Black Sea and Mediterranean.
According to the AIS tracking system for the movement of maritime
vessels, only Turkish vessels are moving along the Bosphorus, and in the
Dardanelles there is no movement of any shipping at all.
This latest development of blockading Russian naval vessels is a
massive and terrifyingly dangerous development. Blockading Russia and
preventing its Black Sea fleet from traveling to the rest of the world,
or back to its home port, is something that will not sit well with the
Russians.
Earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the
deployment of 150,000 Russian troops and equipment into Syria, but then
ALSO ordered the deployment of 7,000 additional Russian Troops, tanks,
rocket launchers and artillery, to the Russian Border of Turkey at
Armenia, with orders to be “fully combat ready.”
