Is there an eyewitness report that says this happened? I see the stuff on zerohedgefund, but this is the stuff they did when there were threats to the base. They’d block off all access roads and nobody could go down them. The US personnel there haven’t been allowed off-base for quite a while, due to the ISIS threat. Even if they had personnel go on the base to check on the Turks (and their families) that are stationed there, it’s still nothing out of the ordinary during increased threatcons or direct threats against US personnel there. I’d imagine many of the Turks there are under suspicion and being investigated.
They do. To those with a "need to know."
Want to know isn't good enough to be on the distribution list.
Sure wish people would stop going to the click bait sites
Spot on. The Russians are ALWAYS trying to stir the pot and our local Putinists never fail to carry their water. Lenin didn’t call them useful idiots for nothing.
Those are not Russian nukes at Incirlik. They are ours. That makes them our responsibility. Why is the US media covering up the vulnerabilities of storing nukes there ?
I am not merely curious but also very concerned. If they are virtually ignored by the White House, this could turn into a disaster. And if there’s an assault on the airbase, would Obama be willing to use nukes on Turkey?
Turkey is not America, so forget using nukes.
I think he made his position on protecting American interest clear with Bengazi. He has Hillary as the scape goat, but he was CIC, he had to give the order. He didn’t.
The airbase is on it’s own. There were other than American troops there. Does anyone know if the other NATO troops have gotten out?
“Turkish prosecutors and police have conducted searches of the base and detained air base commander Gen. Bekir Ercan Van there along with a dozen officers of lower rank”
That quote from the article is very disturbing. Why is the MSM silent? Barack has done NOTHING!
Incirlik also hosts the Turkish 10th Tanker Squadron which took part in the coup with two KC-135 tankers and helped keep the F-16’s bombing and terrorising Ankara in the air for so long.
Thank you for input and report.
Same as I was thinking, not to mention he’s peculiar when it comes to muslims.
Any updates?
