The (Montreux) Convention regarding the Regime of the Strait

Which is a shame, because if it was open, the Russians could have towed their aircraft carrier to the Black Sea and then some enterprising Ukrainian farmers could have taken it off their hands.

Carriers, and all ships over a certain weight are blocked from transiting. That is why we place our Med Fleet out near Greece.

No way. Both you and @956 Worldwide are well informed on the geopolitical scene and I very much enjoy your posts.

Thanks man, but he tracks at a different level than I do. Shit, reason I post in the Global Spring thread is I know there are a lot of Longhorns working in rough places. Part of my job is to track real time potential issues so the team and clients know what is going on. Fuck StratFor, my team for Latin America, Africa and S Pacific is better.

She could bring about peace in this conflict.  Or....she could make the combatants fight even more viciously.  Such is the way of many women in history.....

Looks like she could repair a 67 Camaro and out ski your ass maybe.

Isn't she dating Ricky?

Russia can move vessels up to about frigate size from Azov to the Baltic and Barents Seas via canal systems and the Volga. 

This site is amazing.

Should add that they don’t even have to go that far, they also have a canal from the Don to Volga and can connect to the Caspian. Some of the missile corvettes in the Black Sea now came from the Caspian Flotilla.

If AFU could get access to the Don to lay mines, they wouldn’t need to because that would mean a total Russian collapse and end of the war.

Last project I was on in Kazakhstan (oil and gas) we shipped our plant modules all the way to the Caspian from St Petersburg. The canal system is actually pretty neat.

The transfer of 110 Bulgarian BTR-60's to Ukraine has begun. Their shipment began this morning and they will be transported in sets of 6. Although welcome, Ukraine would probably first need to perform reparations/refurbishment due to the APC's bad state.https://t.co/eLVMmcfHPe

 

The series of “accidents” in Russian controlled territory is continuing. The explosion of the thermal power plant in Tuva, currently Russia, has been recorded from security cameras. So far, 18 people have reported to be wounded.Source: Telegram / Operativno ZSU— (((Tendar))) (@Tendar)

US and NATO allies working together over the past month or so, and while these exercises have went on for decades, it’s still a reminder to Russia.

US Marines freezing their assess off in Norway

SETERMOEN, Norway - Nestled among the snow-capped mountains of northern Norway lies Setermoen, home to the Norwegian Army's 1st Armored Battalion. Currently, this remote Arctic outpost is hosting 800 U.S. Marines, who are collaborating to learn arctic operations and tactics while sharing their own operational insights with Norwegian counterparts.

Marines hailing from the U.S. Marine Corps' 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, are in Norway for a series of training events alongside their Norwegian peers, ahead of the upcoming exercise Nordic Response 24, part of NATO's Steadfast Defender series. Training opportunities ahead of the exercise allow for shared values and expertise, enhancing interoperability between the armed forces of both nations, particularly in navigating the harsh arctic conditions.

Russia sent 42 Shahed drones towards Ukraine last night, and 38 of those were intercepted. Pure terror.

 

Interesting info from a russian military instructor who covered the defeat of at least two Russian assault groups in Berdychi that assaulted without artillery support. He says the majority of russian FPVs won't even take off due to own EW efforts, rendering assault groups…

That’s kind of a big deal, no?  I know the assets are being used as collateral but it seems like semantics.

No.  For CR reasons.  That issue was decided in yesterday's primaries.  We won't know which direction this country will go till November 6th, so no action that could support Ukraine will be taken till then.

While it is sad that the nations in that area seem to have decided that the USA will not be their NATO partners for long, am glad that they are getting their collective regional shit together in case things go further south.

I know a lot about Albania.

For example, it borders on the Adriatic.  Its land is mostly mountainous.  And its chief export is chrome.

The official state bird is the Emperor Penguin. Also, Albania is the site of the oldest most northern avocado tree forest, dating from Neolithic times.

My grandfather in WW2 bailed out on his 11th mission after a Ploesti bombing run and landed in Albania. He was a POW for around 9 months.

The plane with no one aboard crashed into one of said mountains after everyone bailed out.

Couple years ago I was in a bar in Homer, Alaska, and the local taxi driver was a 60-something-year-old man from--you guessed it--Albania.

The moment he revealed his roots, I started singing the jingle from that Cheers episode ... and the craziest thing ... is he started singing it with me!

Good times.
