re: #137 lawhawk
Erdogan is flirting with Iran and trying to keep up his support among the Islamists. Doing just enough to not run directly afoul of the US and NATO, but worrisome enough that they’re moving into the Iranian sphere of influence.
But at the same time, I fully expect that they are going to let more ships attempt to run the blockade…
The next ship (the Rachel Corrie) is coming from the Emerald Isle, not from Turkey as I understand it.
