The US is negotiating with Georgia and Turkey to establish a naval base at one of the two key Georgian ports of Batumi or Poti, reports say.

Turkey, in an attempt to avoid political tension with Russia, has not officially revealed its position regarding the plan, said Gruzya Online, a Russian-language internet site.

Russia had previously announced its intention to station its own special forces at the Georgian ports.

One of the responsibilities of US Special Forces in the region is to ensure the security of an oil pipeline passing through Georgia.

Turkey

I know Turkey, have a house on the Agean. They have Incirlik AFB, US refueling and run up base when there are troubles. Turkey is worried, singularly about EU admittance. Top priority. They refused the MURDERER rights to even any airspace over Turkey. Of course they caved.
My aka husband, Turkish, says in Turkey it would be raining PU__Y and a DICK would hit him in the head! He said everyone around us has oil, not Turkiye'. They have an odd cultural set of customs, very pleasant and subserviant to your face, turn your back and its FU! They like me because I am direct and I s'pose it's freeing for some to just SAY IT. I think Turkey, knowing Recep Erdogan will pick not pissing off Russia. Abdullah Gul is just the President, a glorified gopher. Who the hell knows about what will happen these days.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of Totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.
