Why are we sending a diplomat instead of marines?

With obama in charge, you can see where this is heading.

He finally gets to give nukes away.

Obama is okay with this. It disses America and our military. That’s why the media is ignoring it.

“... the base has become a point of contention for Turkish nationalists with over 5,000 nationalists charging towards the base on Thursday chanting “death to the US” and demanding that the “Yankees go home” or that the Incirlik base be shuttered immediately.”

“Then on Saturday, over 7,000 armed Turkish security forces joined by heavy vehicles surrounded the Incirlik Air Base restricting any access to or away from the facility.”

Have the Turks made a side deal with Iran?

No, they are busy covering Khizr Khan hoping to score points against Trump.

Well, Trump will have something to say re: NATO

Putin will probably back Erdogan.

This will be bigger than the invasion of Cyprus.

WWHRCD?

In a word Gallipoli.

Is this the third time Incirlik has been cut off, locked down, sealed off, sorrounded? WTF is going on there, really?

For the last 40 years the Israelis have been telling American administrations that Israel is the ONLY, reliable, stable, Democratic, Liberal, Western, Capitalist, Free, open society in the Middle East.

We have seen the collapse of American kingpin allies, one after another just fold or go anti-American.

When will we learn that Israel is the true ally in that region?

“WWHRCD?”

She’d first figure out where she could make some money on the deal. Then she’d see how she could screw America. In that order.

I’d tell him that we’ve set them up to go off if he tries do do anything with any of them.

IIRC, the Turks cut-off the power to the base a few weeks ago.

I’m sure that the detention of the Turkish Brig. Gen. Bekir Ercan Van, [top commander at Incirlik Air Base], who was implicated by Turkish authorities in the attempted faux coup is in play here.

“Putin will probably back Erdogan.”

Why do you say that? Erdogan has, since July 15th, publicly invited into Turkey the Muslim Brotherhood.

Idiotic. Even the tweet they included says July 30.

They should have changed the date on the tweet so moderate idiots would be confused too.

He will surrender all the air conditioners on the base as long as the Turks promise not to plug them in and thereby exacerbate any sort of global warming.
