Turkey’s free fall continues. No one knows where the bottom is: Turkey withdraws its signature from Istanbul Convention, a Council of Europe treaty designed to prevent violence against women. It was already dark but now it is getting darker.
1)This vessel regularly carries aviation jet fuel to Russian Armed Forces in Syria.
2)This vessel is de facto Russian Navy auxiliary.
3)This vessel should not transit the Turkish Straits. 4)Simply preventing the transit of this vessel will cripple Russia's campaign in Syria.
