Not good sign.

Was told by a friend:

Unlikely any USAF combat aircraft left at Incirlik, heard only KC-135 Stratotankers & Drones?

Sounds like a really good sign to get important things out of a hostile nation that is threatening to shoot at Americans.

Uh, I don't think much of an explanation is needed. Turkey is going down the flusher. They are aligning with Russia and it seems only a matter of time until some trumped up incident leads to the complete fall of Incirlik. Reminds me of the days in Iran leading up to fall of the Shah.

Note to homeowners: if you buy a gun safe that the bad guys can't open, they'll just pick it up and transport it. Even if it's a really big safe.

Time to remove our troops and everything else from enemy territory. Then, kick Turkey out of NATO.

I hope we got the nuk e stuff out. We had some there at one time, and it would be disaster to permit a Turkish “mob” to overrun the base and grab the stuff.

(hopefully DU picks up on that one)

I think it is long overdue to start treating the anti-American tin pot Turkish dictator the way he treats, or threatens to treat, USA and his neighbors

pull all critical equipment, men, material, supplies OUT of Turkey until such time as the Turkish people replace him with a better, less dangerous person

leaving any critical material or weapons....or men.. in Turkey now is just asking them to be held hostage

This is a good thing.

We have no business storing nukes in Turkey.

None.

Erdogan has been bitching for ages, before him it was
Cypress.

It is the crossroads to the East and West, going back millennia.

No, they aren't. They are fighting the Russian surrogates (when they aren't killing Russians themselves).

So, what was in the Armag weapons vault and what county was it transported to?

(And did that country previously think they were a nuclear free zone?)

This is a surprising report. Two weeks ago it was reported that the US had closed down both airbases it occupied in Turkey, and its military presence had ended. And I say good. The US had to beg Turkey to open Incirlik for use as a drone base. Then it had to beg Turkey to deploy warthogs from Incirlik. Enough of begging. Enough of the Muslim Brotherhood government in Ankara. It’s time to expel Turkey from NATO.
