Only yesterday, we have suggested that the manoeuvres of the Turkish Navy in the sea of Marmara was characterized by mining operations of the fleet in blocking the black sea Straits.
The focus is not the very possibility, because the narrow Straits have a width less than a kilometer, and the testing of filtration vessels. This is important, because it was supposed to close the Straits for Russian ships or ships carrying Russian cargoes. This should ensure the naval forces of Turkey (http://slavaukraine.net/en/news/latest-news/3421-operation-bosphorus-part-2.htmll).
According to the system of monitoring the movement of Maritime transport, AIS, now Bosphorus move only Turkish court, and at the Dardanelles there is no movement at all. In this case, both the Black and the Mediterranean seas, there is a small cluster of vessels under the Russian flag. In addition, from Novorossiysk and Sevastopol in the direction of the Bosphorus does not move any Russian ship. This is indirectly confirmed by night statement to CNN that Turkey blocked the movement of Russian ships in the Straits.
Tellingly, the Turkish press now pretty tough comments on everything connected with Russia, but reports of the blocking of channels for the RF yet. Instead, gently press announces the possibility of talks between Erdogan and Putin, in the presence of Barack Obama, at the upcoming climate summit in Paris.
The silence of the Turkish media said that Turkey made an informal warning about the possible suspension of the "Syrian Express" for Russia, that while technically is not prohibited, but is explicitly articulated that will be applied to all Eastern cunning delays and complexity of procedures. De facto, the Russian Navy has lost the exit from the Black Sea. The final decision will be made after talks in Paris or if the talks are disrupted by the Kremlin.
It is obvious that Putin has no trumps for such negotiations. He shows how it is locked out of his Syrian group. Will block off the bridge and the trap slammed shut. Of course, there's the Suez and Gibraltar, but there are three big "but". First, there is no guarantee that these waterways will not be closed before Moscow. At least Gibraltar can be covered with just one hand movement. Then there will be route: Moscow — Vladivostok — Latakia. This alignment causes the second "but" — the total loss of efficiency of control. Any questions will have to be either a huge hook, or pulling their plans in third countries. Given the fact that even Iran has its own position on these issues, no one wants to get involved in the dirty game on the side of the Russian Federation. If so, then the third "but" — obviously. And so "Golden" colonial war will turn into a diamond. Each kilogram delivered to Syria of goods will have the cost comparable with the cargo delivered to ISS. If in the current situation of the Omsk nutritionists talk seriously about the possibility to use in food of earthworms, such "fraternal aid to the Syrian people" will be forced to consider the nutritional properties of cow crap.
There is a large probability that the coming negotiations will be for Putin's more of a stab in the back, what destroyed the other day aerial Antiques. We must understand that the Turks will demand to remove the army and the aviation of the Russian Federation from the Turkish border a few tens of kilometers and perhaps will insist on the introduction of troops in the regions populated by Turks. In addition, probably will be the requirements for the lifting of sanctions against Turkey. If Putin will be back to work, it will cease to be afraid, and he knows how it ends. In addition, in Turkey the wave of anti-Russian sentiment and full normalization of relations to achieve will not be possible, the Genie is out of the bottle. If Putin is out of your mind, he may try to reconcile these requirements with the construction of the "Turkish stream". But this train is already gone by definition. Turkey has already seen some of the Russian partner, and felt all the lies that can generate Moscow. In addition, in this case Putin will sign under the fact that all the bombing by the Syrian Turks, flights in the Turkish sky and the terrorist attack in Ankara — his personal plan to put pressure on Turkey in order to obtain the consent of the tube. It is clear that the States will fully support Turkey's position, proposing additional conditions for halting the bombing of the moderate opposition and — plum-Assad.
In short, the deeper Putin drags Russia in the trap, the less there is cheese.
