It is interesting. The US does have two joint airforce bases in Turkey, although from what I just read, they are seen more as bases for NATA operations since Turkey and the US relations were strained over Cyprus.
Would the US ignore the Montruex Convention this early in this situation? If so, what kind of international repercussions would there be? With satellite imagery now days, would the US even need to have Subs in the Black Sea at this early point? Does a treaty exist between the US and Russia about the use of surveylance satellites with each other?
