Only explanation? NATO since 1952.
The Kemalists were not Erdogan, but they did a lot of the same cruel things to the minority citizens.

Yes I get it. Headshake.
Every day I tell myself, you simply cannot make this stuff up.
Now, that proposal would get a huge number of takers.

They have always been interested in Incirlik.
Not sure what I should say about that.
It is impossible to explain much of that.
I have a family friend who was a military pilot. After he retired he was called back to work with NATO. He flew almost everything. There are good things that happened there. He has never commented about Turkey when I mentioned them. I did not push that, we are good friends.
I know 2 pilots who were stationed at Incirlik, neither had anything good to say about that duty.
Yes.
Erdogan faces the greatest of all adversaries: himself

This is the view from the Kemalists.
I was stationed in Germany for a few years. I know all about the Turkish-German youth, they’re violent hooligans and anti-American agitators. Many stabbings and fights have happened which were well known about but not officially publicized. I can only imagined what a sucky assignment Incirlik must have been.
Thanks for the perspective. It is clear to the world now, even the EU, that there is a serious problem with Turkey.
The POLs must be paid to support the immigration mess. If not? The are terminally stupid.
Sad. Seriously, I hate to see Turkey headed in this direction.
I totally agree. It certainly is not necessary. It will only bring misery to the Turk citizens and their neighbors.
Such a backward mindset. Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil.
Send him $6 billion in cash loaded on palkets.
Thanks Texas Fossil. It sure is.
To the angel of the church at Smyrna write, “...Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison,...”
It was done.
Some of what is happening should sound alarm bells.
But caution is due to not try and think we will understand it, only accept it for what it is.
