statement posted by the US embassy in Turkey said that local authorities are denying movements on to and off of Incirlik Air Base adding that the power there has also been cut.
Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens: Incirlik Air Base and Adana Airport Information, July 16
Be advised that local authorities are denying movements on to and off of Incirlik Air Base. The power there has also been cut. Please avoid the air base until normal operations have been restored.
Effectively, yes.
Not invaded. Surrounded with water and electricity shut off
The Turks need to be expelled from NATO. I’d push the whole lot of them back to the eastern side of the Bosphorus.
In the last year of my enlistment(s). In 1976 when I was in the UK, I was told that I’d have to take extend my enlistment and tak another Consecutive Overseas Tour (COT)to somewhere in Turkey for what they called a “short tour” if I wanted to get promoted.
This would have been the third COT I’d gotten. Actually 4th if you don’t count the 5 month intervening tour in CONUS between OCONUS tours. Just over 8 years and 6.75 of them were overseas.
I told them to go f@ck themselves; I’m getting out. BEST THING I EVER DID. Turkey? I knew too many guys that had been to remotes in that country.
Incirlik is a Turkish base with American and other nations using it. It is not an “American” airbase:
His comment to my dad this morning was that this may be how obama is going to get the muslim brotherhood nukes now.
I bet this is to make this Sunday morning talk show Nutt work programs. It should. What is the relationship of the Clinton foundation to all this in the cover-up but it Larada Lynch/James Comey. What was on her server about Turkey and Bengazi.
Will Obola-the-cryptoMoslem use this OPPORTUNITY
to transfer nukes and other technology to his
superiors in Iran? Like before?
Probably.
THEY are holding our Military people as HOSTAGES or PRISONERS!!! THIS CANNOT STAND!!!
I bet this will not make the Sunday morning network news shows.
Sorry for predictive spelling
WE don’;t have our OWN POWER SOURCE??? OMG!!
I agree, if that is the case. On the other hand, the air arm of the ill-fated coup had to be based somewhere. If it was at Incirlik, the real target of a power/water cutoff might be what is left of the coup, and keeping them out of the air might be the operative plan. In that case, the US contingent is an inconvenienced bystander. We'll know soon.
With the push to draw down and/or eliminate US nukes around the world, 0bama “leaves” 50 of our front line nukes in a muslim run country? He wouldn’t have done this on purpose, now would he? /s
Oh, look, they just had an attempted coup, and now there is a huge military crackdown in the country and all military not firmly behind and supporting the new emperor get arrested/disappeared.
But our military personnel in Turkey are still in control of our weapons.....sure they are.
The story is being widely reported now, even by the NYT.
I was TDY at Incerlik when the '67 war broke out. The Turks immediately grounded all in and out traffic, same reason, didn't want us getting involved. Our 30 day TDY orders were extended indefinitely but fortunately the war was over by the end of the week.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
