Regardless, the seeming fact that is apparent is that this action with respect to Incirlik US forces being cut off has been ignored by US media for weeks now.
It makes no difference what ‘kind’ of base it is. Our soldiers and airmen are there.
I can’t believe it either -
Our air men are hostages, caught in a stand-off to defend our air and ordinance assets.
There hasn’t been any substantive news update on this situation since a US General went to Turkey a week ago or so to smooth things over.
Our media is a traitorous useless lot.

I’ve seen Freepers say “How do we really know that Incirlik is cut off?? You don’t hear it talked about on TV — maybe this is all just some conspiracy theory!”
Boggles the mind,
And I have no doubt they are free to leave at any time.
The events in Turkey are on a scale, in terms of the fate of Europe, with Mohacs and the gates of Vienna.
The idea that we (the US) have a future that involves basing forces in Turkey is ridiculous.
