  1. Tim Ogul There are other ways to restrict travel without entirely blocking the straight. Sinking a large barge in the middle would force other ship to slowdown and navigate around the obstacle. And they can make the sinking looks like an accident. When that happen Turkey can then make it very expensive for anyone to clean up the obstruction.

  2. Tim Ogul Foreign powers do not agree whith each other that is why the treaty was needed in the first place. Also the powers that forces Turkey into the treaty are not the same powers as today. Would the US care if that part of the world is blocked off no. Would China care, would Germany care? Russia would be piss but if they attack Turkey then NATO would jump in and stop them.
