Russia's only exit from Black Sea towards Mediterranean Sea is thru Bosporus & Dardanelles straight, where on the left is Greece, Romania & Bulgaria; all Russian friends, and on the right are Syria & Turkey.

That strait (look above) is pretty narrow, Turkey was under attack from USA with jet another color revolution (Fethullah Gülen)that USA did not do, so Recep Tayyip Erdogan went back towards the Muslim roots (Ottoman Empire).
At that time (some hundred years ago) there were no Saudis or such. They were invented by English empire (never UK) just some decades ago because local beduins were sitting on oil, of whose use they had not a clue at that time.

So, Turkey went back to it's serfs of old, Iran, and Black Sea Russians (at that time present Israel did not exist, later on, during the WWI only become a concept of a member of House of Lords).

Then come Tramp who prospered in NY & Atlantic City with credits from local Yews and did not know a thing about Twin Towers 911 business, except during elections.
Somewhere there he got a son in low whose father was a personal friend with Benjamin Netanyahu who frequently slept in his room while he visited USA (so was stated in one of Jeff Rense's interview), and so his Daughter Ivanka passed to Yew fate. So, there is no wonder that that same son in low is developer in occupied Palestine land and a friend of a next Saudi King.

In other words, Putin has lost, and he is regrouping for WWIII to defend Russia. That is why UK is going out from Europe Union, & why bitcoin is rising so fast.

Only problem is: If Putin attacks Europe to defend Russia, then Russia is lost for ever.
