If Turkey wants our nukes, I’m okay with that. Nukes even have accurate delivery systems for their convenience.

We are doomed. How long before Iran annexes Turkey?

If they try to "seize" our nukes either by extortion or by force, we should "give" them some nukes --but not in the way they have in mind.

One way or another we need to stop this new Caliphate before it makes even more threatening moves. First, kick them out of NATO.

Those nukes should have long since been moved out of Turkey. The fact that they haven't says volumes about Obama.

I have long advocated any country pursuing nukes should be “given” a few. We could give Iran a couple and the goat humpers at ISIL as well. Save us the cost of bringing them home. We could even drop a few of for the Norks while we are at it by taking the long way home.

Too bad they don’t have a remote control. “Oops, looks like the Turks had a ‘little’ accident!”

Tin foil hat mode on.

This is what Barky and ValJar and William Ayers (and, why the hell not, Soros) have planned.

Turket seizes the weapons; it'd be a bonus if they got them intact, but given the failsafe destructive devices the bombs have in case of imminent capture, no matter.

All they need is the *fissile* material: they can then pass this on to one or more of :

a) Iran

b) ISIS

c) North Korea

d) MSNBC

You can figure out the rest.

Tin foil hat mode off.

No reason....

I was looking for something else and this pic makes as much sense as my next post...

This would be a good cause to kick Turkey out of NATO. In a dozen years Turkey will be another poverty filled Banana Republic without the Bananas.

Give them a demonstration drive and see if they still want one.

I have no problems with any muslim country getting nukes. As long as they detonate as soon as they take possession of them

The Turks could do nothing with them to make them operational. They could dismantle them and acquire the plutonium cores and triggers and make their own devices. This alone should be enough reason to load up everyone one of them on F-16’s and fly them out now. This accomplishes what Russia wants to force a schism in NATO and to drive an unreliable ally into their own sphere of influence. This provides Putin the potential ability to take over our own facility to help them control the region. That Jeremiah is proven to be a true prophet again.

This is NOT a tin foil hat situation.

Obama’s a piece of #### and what you say is very realistic OR there would have been 2000 marines sent in to protect the base and/or the missiles would be in the process of being moved.

It would be Erdogans last major act.

The US will do whatever it takes to ensure those weapons do not fall outside our control.

That's been the bedrock of US military policy from the invention of these things. It's inculcated in everyone in the chain from their very first training.

The entire US military will use every mechanism at their disposal to ensure nobody but US military personnel has access to these weapons, including detonation in place.

I'd prefer for the Russians to annex Turkey, and get back Constantinople.
