There are several stage/set type Q drops.
Yep or Jane Doe, probably more though.
>Why would Russia want to move closer to NATO?
A better question is -
Why did NATO want to move closer to Russia in the aftermath of the reunification of Germany and collapse of communism in eastern Europe.
NATO needs external 'threats' to justify it's existence. Much of that threat evaporated when eastern Europe countries experienced that brief window of freedom and independence before joining EU and NATO.
Turkey blocks Royal Navy ships sent to Ukraine as NATO falls apart
Turkey says it will not allow two British Royal Navy ships intended for Ukraine to pass through its waters.
Turkey has vowed to block two British Royal Navy ships intended for Ukraine to pass through its waters. Last month, Britain said it would transfer the two minehunter ships to the Ukrainian navy to help bolster its sea operations in its war with Russia.
However, the Turkish presidency's communications directorate has now said it will not let the vessels through its Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits.
When Russia first waged war on Ukraine in 2022, Turkey sparked an international agreement that blocks the passage of military ships through the passages for those at war.
Today (Tuesday, January 2), the NATO member country says it has implemented the 1936 Montreux Convention impartially and meticulously in order to prevent a military escalation in the Black Sea.
