To understand how absurd a Russian Black Sea Navy is you have to understand that it first would have to pass the
Bosporus strait (right through the heart of Istanbul) to arrive in the
Sea of Marmara then pass the
Dardanelles strait again Turkey territorium (NATO) to arrive at the
Aegean Sea Greece (EU) waters. Now the fleet is ready to do some major battles in the
Mediterranean Sea, at least some drunk a*s politician will tell you so. Turkish people if they wanted to stand on the bridge and in the literal sense piss on the passing Russian Navy.
The world is a nut house.
