Turkey BLOCKADES Russian Shipping; Black Sea Fleet Completely Cut off
Turkey has begun a 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 has completely strangled the Russian Navy Black Sea fleet, which is now unable to leave the Black Sea to travel anywhere else in the world AND is unable to return to its home ports!

Under the terms of the Montreux Convention, Turkey is only permitted to block warships when it is "threatened with aggression" or when it is "at war."

Since it was Turkey who shot down a Russian military jet last week, I'll leave it to all of you to decide whether Turkey sees itself "threatened with aggression" or "at war."

This is a terrifyingly dangerous escalation of hostilities between Turkey and Russia and moves us a giant step closer to actual World War. This isn't a game and it isn't a joke. This is exactly how wars start.

Re: Turkey BLOCKADES Russian Shipping; Black Sea Fleet Completely Cut off
This is the route from the Black Sea to the rest of the water world.

There is no way in hell Putin would let such a thing happen.

I anticipate Russia will break the blockade and retaliate against Turkish Naval Bases that may further attempt future blockades.


All considering if this is true and is represented as fact.

Re: Turkey BLOCKADES Russian Shipping; Black Sea Fleet Completely Cut off
According to the tracking system for the movement of maritime AIS, now move only along the Bosphorus Turkish vessels, and in the Dardanelles there is no movement at all. At the same time, both from the Black Sea, and from the Mediterranean Sea, there is a small cluster of ships under the Russian flag. In addition, from Novorossiisk and Sevastopol in the direction of the Bosphorus is not moving, no Russian vessel. This indirectly confirms the night CNN statement that Turkey has blocked the movement of Russian ships on the Strait.

Turkey cannot close the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to Russian ships, they can only close it when they are at war @Shamase01 @zerohedge

@GhostOfPJK Nov 28
The only way #turkey #russia could get worse is if #putin tries to sail the Black Sea feet down the Dardanelles. #auspol

@deinioljonesGL7 Nov 28
Montreux Convention allows Turkey to block Dardanelles in event of war. Turkey begins policing exercises. [link to by24.org]

.@cyberwarfighte1 Seeing reports on some Russian sites that #Turkey blocked the Bosphorus Straight to Russian Vessels. Can you confirm?

Has Turkey closed the Bosphorus to Russian naval vessels transiting between Black Sea and Syria?

Are you out of your mind? They put a direct link to the AIS Maritime web site in their story at the bottom, so readers can go see for themselves that Russian ships are being held!

It's realtime data direct from the GPS transponders on the ships themselves.

How much more credible can it get when you have a way to prove it to yourself???????

To me, they are a completely credible news outlet.
