What you see on the news from Turkey are protesters shouting anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, but what most are not seeing are the convoys headed towards the Incirlik base where U.S. Air Force is stationed to stage a massive rally against the U.S.:
A convoy of massive numbers of vehicles headed towards Incirlik where US Air Force are stationed. It is not only demonstrators who are moving toward Incirlik Air Base in the southern Turkish city of Adana for anti-U.S. protests, but images circulating on Twitter on July 28 show convoys of Muslim Brotherhood supporters heading that way. The base houses thousands of U.S. and NATO military personnel and has served an important role in the U.S.-led coalition’s aerial operations against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria.
Anti-U.S. sentiment has risen in Turkey following the July 15 failed coup. Many in the country have suggested the United States played a role in the attempted coup and have demanded the air base be closed. Turkey’s government blames Fethullah Gulen, a powerful religious and opposition leader currently living in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, for the attempted putsch. Ankara has demanded his extradition.
This has to be supported and approved by Erdogan, and likely incited by him as well.
If I were the commander of this base I would notify the Turkish government that we would use deadly force to defend the base. And despite orders from Barry to surrender I would still do so!
The fact the MSM is not covering the tyranny in Turkey is worrisome.
The juice was restored last week.
This is Obama’s and Turkey’s nuclear weapon transfer
to Iran, al Qaeda, ISIS, and “the rebels”.
“Berserk muslims”? Isn’t that redundant?
Sure the guys there remember what happened at Benghazi!
This ‘coup’ seems more like a saged event to find out who to purge, so they can complete the muslims brotherhood takeover of Turkey
They will eventually try to take over the US Embassy, just like in Iran.
It’s time to arrest a random youtuber.
Time for the A-10s to do some training runs....
It is highly probably that the don’t even have 10% of the small arms ammunition to even put up a good defense. Obama and the SOFA would have already taken care of that.
Of course rules of engagement will make the US Service people sit on their hands.
Incirlic will be over run soon. No attempt to secure the tactical weapons seems to have been made by either NATO or the U.S.
Unbelievable. And we still haven't heard anything definitive about if the US was involved in the coup attempt. We were everywhere else. Please, correct me where I err.
You, Sir win the internet!
Exactly my thinking. Remind the Turkish leadership that you will use deadly force. That if they don’t want to see hundreds, maybe thousands of dead in the streets around the base they had better keep the protesters back, ‘cause if/when they hit the fence line, my troops have authorization and they will use it. We will not surrender no matter what bammy says because it is an illegal order - we cannot legally turn over nuclear weapons to a third party. We will surrender when we are out of ammo and our bayonets are dulled on the bones of your dead. Maybe not even then.
We appear to be headed towards a giant flaming pile of crap in Turkey. It is IMO likely that the US will have to take out Erdogan and this will probably produce a situation analagous to Iran when the US/UK took out Mossadegh circa 1953 over oil interests and Khadafi in Libya. In one case we took out a very popular leader and in the more recent Libyan case we took out the accepted dictator. Similar result, either way. Not an expert in these things but I believe we are being snookered into working against our own interests. This one could become very dangerous and will probably end up flipping a country to deep Islamist.
We keep doing this.
It’s less than 100 miles from the Syrian border close to the Mediterranean Sea.
