And I have no doubt they are free to leave at any time.
The events in Turkey are on a scale, in terms of the fate of Europe, with Mohacs and the gates of Vienna.
The idea that we (the US) have a future that involves basing forces in Turkey is ridiculous.
I understand the role of efficacy vs sacrifice there, it is debatable, certainly. Yes, they (the guardians) can leave any time they want. Can the things they have stored there be said the same of? I think not.
And of course, the US would be completely stupid to believe that ANY country with an appreciable amount of Muslims in it serves our country’s purpose in locating weapons of import in that area.
I’m a ‘nuke them orbit kind of guy’. Don’t ever trust a Muslim for any reason. With Obama at the helm, we are near assured some Muslim fanatical group will get their hands on a US nuke.
