Washington is unhappy with the growth of trade between Ankara and Moscow and began to threaten Turkey with sanctions

In Washington, as always in their own way, they try to dictate to the whole world with whom to be friends and trade. This time they expressed dissatisfaction with Turkey's too active trade with Russia.

According to US Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson, over the past year, secondary exports and re-exports from Turkey to Russia have increased significantly, which may lead to the application of sanctions measures against some Turkish companies and banks. In a word, the American official threatened Ankara with sanctions for trade with Moscow.

Nilson noted that the cooperation of Turkish enterprises and banks with organizations from Russia that are under sanctions could be the reason for closing the markets of the GXNUMX countries for them.

The US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury called on Turkish businesses and banks to "conduct enhanced verification of transactions with Russian legal entities and individuals," otherwise they run the risk of falling under Western sanctions.

Earlier, Nilson arrived in Turkey, where, according to Bloomberg, he held talks on Turkish-Russian trade. The US authorities are trying to convince Ankara to abandon close trade relations with Moscow, as they believe this helps Russia to carry out NWO in Ukraine.

But it's impossible to cut off all foreign trade channels between countries, it's like fighting windmills.

it is impossible to block all foreign trade channels

especially since Russia and Turkey have a common border - along the Black Sea, and it is impossible to intimidate Turkey under its current leader

There is no common border. Between the Russian 12 mile zone and the Turkish one is a large piece of neutral waters.

And what? The Americans cannot arrange a naval blockade of Russia in the Black Sea.

With the cards, Mir was able to put pressure on them.

No. The US does not have the right to do so. But they and the Europeans can impose economic sanctions for the resale of their goods. But for the sale of Turkish or Egyptian products, they will not be able to do anything.

[Arkadich]

With the current integration, it is very difficult to determine where, whose is very difficult, it is simply extremely problematic to ban, and getting into a showdown, they will drown in a bureaucratic swamp.

[blackGRAIL]

It is a question "with us or against us". Turkey seems to be ?formally? a member of NATO and an ally of the Americans. And if NATO/West/USA considers it as "their own", then Turkey's actions are a betrayal. In fact, it was Turkey that prevented the closing of the transport blockade around the European part of Russia. The analogy is not perfect, but it's like Russia's refusal of the naval blockade of England under Napoleon. Russia then essentially leveled all the efforts of France to strangle England, which became one of the key reasons for Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

In fact, this is a gross interference in the internal affairs of the state))))
In terms of severity of intervention, only war is higher.
Remember how the United States hysteria about Russian interference in the presidential elections in
USA? ))) And then they interfere in the most brazen way.

[rotmistr60]

expressed dissatisfaction with Turkey's too active trade with Russia ... an American official threatened Ankara with sanctions for trade with Moscow.

Recent events show that threats of sanctions, a ban on the sale of aircraft, etc. act on Erdogan like a red rag on a bull (although the bull does not distinguish colors) - this excites him even more and makes him act contrary to what was proposed.

[Nexcom]

but many Turkish banks, for fear of falling under restrictions, stopped working with our MIR cards. before that they worked. Or is the fear of sanctions nothing to do with it?

First, Turkey will be forced to maintain all sanctions, and then the Turks will be forced to close the Bosphorus to Russia. Then there will be a number!
Like stripes pull on the 3rd world limited by Europe (((

Ertogan should win these elections anyway. His position is certainly difficult, but the administrative resource is large.

All so Gennady welcome Everything seems to be going towards Turkey's withdrawal from NATO, which Russia has been pushing Erdogan for a long time .. We are waiting for the elections and if Rajep is not overwhelmed by the "Anglo-Saxon partners", then I think the decision will be inevitable. And Russia will agree with the Turks, we will slander the Bulgarians and Greeks And other EU and USA

Good morning Vitaly. Yes, there the whole of Europe is pushing Turkey to withdraw from NATO. If not for the United States, then she would have been expelled from there long ago.

[blackGRAIL]

The Americans pushed the rejection of MIR cards (for Turkish banks, American sanctions are critical). The refusal to accept / service Russian Boeings at Turkish airports was pushed through by the Americans (threats are the same as with MIR cards). Now the situation with Turkish ports/ship owners. The arguments will apparently be the same: blocking any monetary transactions in American currency, banning ship insurance ... At the same time, the United States, as it were, does not directly threaten Erdogan. They refer specifically to Turkish business: it will be either or, choose. And while Turkish business capitulates to the Americans.

And the countries of the world still do not understand the need to completely abandon the dollar as a means of payment, and as a means of storing capital???
The states have already completely lost their shores - and they are telling someone how to breathe. Tomorrow they will say that all countries must give America 50% of every commercial transaction, or they will impose sanctions ... then, that every morning in every family in all countries of the world must begin with the playing of the American anthem, or they will impose sanctions. .. then, that the inhabitants of the whole earth must be repainted black, otherwise they will impose sanctions ...
When there is processed cheese in the head instead of the brain, and in the hands of a powerful lever in the form of a dollar club, then such an anacephalus is very scary. And America is really anacephalic.

[paul3390]

They understand why. But - you need some kind of alternative, is it impossible to trade with everyone on his currency? But there is nothing to offer yet, and the very restructuring of the systems of international settlements is, oh, how not a quick thing .. Especially if you take into account the fierce opposition of mattress covers to any such encroachments.

Moreover, the settlement currency must obviously be some kind of international one. For the use of one currency of a country is a philosophical question. Let's say the Chinese are not eager to put the yuan in this role. For along with the pluses, there are also not frail minuses from this, a vivid example is the same dollar. On which certain circles were not weakly welded from such use, but - in general, turned into a disaster for the real US economy.

You can, of course, trade in gold, as they did without problems until the 20th century. But then again - we need a system of mutual settlements, and all countries must first save up some gold for such a transition. Otherwise, all trade will collapse.

[blackGRAIL]

Not so simple. Western policy in general and globalization in particular, as well as the higher quality of life that has developed in the West compared to the rest of the world, have led to a flow of brains and technologies to the West. As a result, it has largely concentrated/monopolized high-tech products.

For example, there are two conditional third countries that do not belong to any blocs. And country A exports resources from country B, for example. Or they just trade with each other. They could do it in national currencies or in Russian rubles, but they trade in dollars or euros. Why? They need high-tech goods that Western countries produce. And you can buy them only for dollars or euros. Accordingly, the position of the dollar in foreign trade between these countries depends on their dependence on Western products. China is increasing its own production of these products and there is an alternative to buy it also for the yuan, and this is what brings the yuan into the status of an international currency. No appeals, decisions or declarations to abandon the dollar can undermine its status. It is a question of in which currency area the means of production are located.

[ximkim]

Here Erdogan rivets the king of the crane, and he will remember everything for the allies.

[blackGRAIL]

Turkey really placed under Western sanctions not even a pig, but a herd, a herd of pigs. After all, the West did not just ban the import of something into Russia. He maximally disrupted / paralyzed the sea / land logistics of the receipt of goods in Russia: moreover, we are not talking about military products, but about civilian ones: hygiene items, medicines, and so on. At the same time, the majority of our population is concentrated in the European part. It is unrealistic to supply it through China - our logistics will not withstand this. And Turkey is Europe. Logistics through Turkey, even if products purchased through third countries, is a lifeline. The blockade ring could not be closed.

The analogy is not perfect, but it's like Russia's refusal of the naval blockade of England under Napoleon. Russia then essentially leveled all the efforts of France to strangle England, which became one of the key reasons for Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

Apparently, Turkey's contribution to undermining the sanctions is so huge that it allows Erdogan to "twist Putin's arms." But if you look from the point of view of the American world, then Erdogan is a bastard and a traitor who has gone too far and is playing his game.

The US influence is huge. Especially in countries that are maximally embedded in the Western economy. The Americans pushed the rejection of MIR cards (for Turkish banks, American sanctions are critical). The refusal to accept / service Russian Boeings at Turkish airports was pushed through by the Americans (threats are the same as with MIR cards). Now the situation with Turkish ports/ship owners. The arguments will apparently be the same: blocking any monetary transactions in American currency, banning ship insurance ... At the same time, the United States, as it were, does not directly threaten Erdogan. They refer specifically to Turkish business: it will be either or, choose.

I sympathize with the pindos. They have so many worries! Everyone needs to be looked after - Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, North Korea, etc. etc... and it is desirable to rummage through the pockets, if possible.

[UAZ 452]

As long as they successfully succeed in "rummaging through their pockets in the process", they can be admired, envied, and our sympathy for them has not fallen on the fig.

It is probably high time for Moscow to stop fawning over Washington, periodically "show its teeth" and deliver commensurate damage (at least with the disabling of the joint venture).

[Bingo]

You give a military blockade of NATO countries!

[alexey_444]

Here the Americans can benefit without giving anything in return. Turkey wants to get all the tricks from permission to join NATO for two suckers, suicides, but it will be like a partial closing of its eyes to trade with Russia in exchange for entry. Unfortunately, the previous centuries showed the shortsightedness that Turkey, Germany, the Anglo-Saxons twisted them as they wanted.

[Alex]

By the way, about MIR cards. Officially, the Turks refused MIR cards, but in reality they work in Turkey. I rested in Kemer in the fall, they accept cards everywhere

[Fedor Rashkin]

The Troks are so far the only ones who are clearly and without costs of a different nature warming up in the war.
Their policy is reminiscent of the Turkish bazaar, but so far this is a win-win option.

Sanctions do not work - they said!
An incredible hole in the Russian budget is formed at the beginning of 2023. As of February 1, January expenses amounted to 3.12 trillion rubles (+70% yoy!). This is the second month when spending breaks all records. And it has not yet entered the embargo / ceiling on petroleum products (February 5)

Recep will turn out. He will start some kind of operation against the Kurds, accidentally ruffle a caravan with stolen oil and all those interested will hand it back.

Schaz, how they won’t give the Turks F16, so the Turks will be stunned. :)

Hey young Sultan! And weapons to Ukraine, and trade with Russia! The Turks will be fools if they do not re-elect such a cunning!
