By the way. The title is misleading.

The Egyptian ships are entering the Black Sea to do joint military exercises with the Russian Navy.

There is no other way to enter the Black Sea, except for the Strait.

Seems they want to provoke Turkey into something and drag us in via Nato.

Hi.

“It connects with the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of Marmara, and it connects with the Azov Sea through the Kerch Strait.”

In the fwiw department, the Bosphorus Strait controls access to the Black Sea...transiting either way.

Gotta get a hall pass from Erdogan (sultan in waiting), or things could get “interesting.”

Now this I think is intended to send a message to Turkey that they need to pull out of Azerbaijan.

I would think the more direct message is regarding Turkey's interference in Libya, where they are effectively fighting a proxy war with Egypt, and to a point Russia. A little, "You mess around in our backyard, we'll come to yours". Azerbaijan has got to be pretty far down in Egypt's priorities right now. Or maybe it's a favor to Russia in return for support in Libya.

Both are valid points.

I’m no fan of Putin. There are some here who are.

But it is important that sane people come forward and end the misery, butchery and hate filled exploits of Erdoo and the Islamist Terrorists.

Egypt and Russia have an interest in seeing the Islamist Terrorist shut down.

Agreed. I do not like or trust Putin, but we should cooperate on the issues where we agree. Where we disagree, we should pursue our own goals, and only compromise when it is a net “win”. One ofthe reasons I trust Trump over any democrat. The only win they care about is themselves.

Totally agree.

The discussion of this article was diffused in a cloud of nonsense.

I do think it is near full moon.

Trump: Uh, guys...? I think I didn’t explain Thanksgiving the right way. Let’s try again. You don’t take Turkey and carve it up. You take A turkey. You know? The bird?

Remove you from what?

I only have 2 ping lists.

The Texas Ping List and the Syrian Ping List (seldom used now)

I have no other lists.

Checked both list for your screen name. It is not on either one.

If it were, I would have gladly removed you.

I think this may be why you thought I pinged you:

You will have to talk to SJackson about this. I cannot see all of his ping list, but you may be on it. Think it is the Middle East Ping List.
