Why thank you. NS is done, twas mainly copy pasting things. I wonder however, could a switch of government in France be in order? I'll be honest, the socialists, despite how leftist I am, are especially in a context of 'Impending economic doom' so hilariously incompetent at leading this country it's not even funny. Also, read the IC and, relating to the black sea, I'll drop [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Convention_Regarding_the_Regime_of_the_Turkish_Straits]this[/url]. Considering Turkey is a NATO member, well... and of course, there's the fact that there's nothing preventing anyone from pulling a Soviet on you. [quote] For several years after World War II, the Soviets exploited the restriction on the number of foreign warships by ensuring that one of theirs was always in the Straits, thus effectively blocking any nation other than Turkey from sending warships through the Straits.[/quote]
