Title: Turkey's dramatic blockade move, Russian warship please "bye-bye"
Today we're going to talk about the Turkish drama, which is definitely not the kind of soap opera you usually watch. Recently, Turkey has staged a wonderful international version of "bye-bye" -- that is, the Bosphorus Strait and the Daniels Strait have been tightly closed, and the warships of other countries, especially Russian warships, have been treated without leaving the door. It's like saying: "Russian friends, have fun in the Black Sea, but don't think about it when you come out." ”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has really shown a bold demeanor this time. He has to maintain his image in the international community and use diplomatic means to ensure national interests, which is really exciting to watch. Did you know that there was a legal basis for them to be entitled to block the straits – the Treaty of Monterrey made it clear that Turkey could legally close both gates in time of war.
But then again, the closure of the strait is nothing more than a careful tactic by Turkey to avoid a direct showdown with Russia. You see, while they are doing superficial articles in support of Russia, they are also looking for a way back for themselves behind their backs. It's like the superb skill of the left and right sources in the acrobatic troupe, and the eyes are emotional.
Besides, it makes sense to compare modern Turkey to the old tyrants who had ambitions to revive the Ottoman Empire. After all, in today's world where international affairs are as complex as a chess game, who doesn't want to be a little ambitious and show themselves?
At the end of the day, the author of the article jokingly mentioned that Turkey gave gifts to Putin - I wonder what they sent? Is it a coupon for a Black Sea resort? Or more witty, a miniature model of the Bosphorus Bridge?
In short, this article, with its exaggerated humor, introduces us to a world of political calculations and diplomatic contests. It not only made us laugh at the teaser in front of us, but also invisibly provoked us to think deeply about Turkey's true intentions. Admittedly, in this big play, every character is played quite well, and as for who will be the ultimate winner? Let's wait and see!
