[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2430550, member: 26737"] I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's hogwash. Turkey is a NATO member; I'm pretty sure they have treaty obligations that would prevent them from closing the Bosporous to NATO vessels--and I'm pretty sure that our/the EU's leverage over Turkey is far greater than anything the Chicoms can offer. ETA: China doesn't have to do squat in the UN--the Ruskies have veto power of their own. The Chinese have nothing to gain from taking a public stance on this, and they're not particularly fond of either side, so it's in their interests to stay on the sidelines for this one. [/QUOTE]
