Turkey is a regional agent for imperialist operations. #msg-3775550
As a puppet of the United States Turkey has put limitations on tanker passage in the Bosphorus Strait thus hampering Russia’s ability to get oil to market.
The United States has sought to persuade Putin to build a new terminal in the northern city of Murmansk to ship crude to U.S. companies, but so far it has been snubbed. #msg-3779639
Might we conclude that one reason Turkey has limited Russia’s ability to get oil to market through the Bosphorus Strait is because the United States requested such an action in an attempt to force Russia to adopt the U.S. backed Murmansk route?
