Has US base in turkey been seized by Turkey
Twitter feed | Self

Posted on 07/17/2016 5:29:06 AM PDT by ncfool

Seems Twitter feeds are being blocked on news about the base being held hostage. Why? Past 4 hours. Has the base been invaded by Turkey?

How could we have our own base be breached and not secure?

Agreed. Time to stay cool. Pray for and fight for our men and women, and if there are nukes there, booby trap them, rather than have the incipient caliphate use them on their terms.

OTOH, with obama in charge, if could be Benghazi writ large.

With fallout over American, Israeli and Russian cities.

That’s the worse case, if the B61s have indeed been removed, we ‘only’ get to see videos of our men and women tortured and murdered like Amb Stevens or the poor people in the Bataclan theater.

Try a little Googling on Israel and where they might have gotten some of the fissionable material they DIDN’T use for the first Nukes they DON’T have.

How so? If they murder all our men and women and know the PAL codes (00000) how do we retain custody and control?

But it’s working: Kerry is coming to the view that we should extradite Erdogan’s chief opponent back to Turkey.

As an aside to this discussion, Cuba cut off the water supply to the U.S. base at Gitmo back in 1964. Less than a year later the base’s water needs were being met by a desalinization plant. Of course, Gitmo had ready access to seawater.

Wonder if Obama golfing or sleeping or watching ESPN...............PRAYERS that God will protect each one of our man and women who serve us. Comfort their families as they hear the news. That they fear not. May any plans for evil to our military be exposed, frustrated and confused. That every evil action is crushed. To God be the glory.

and if there are nukes there, booby trap them

Luckily, the B61's have a 'kill switch' that fries the important detonation components, and Squantos -- who knows a little about these sort of things -- tells us we're okay.

It sure makes a plausible case for deniability when the weapons show up in Syria!
