Nuclear Weapons Being Moved from Incirlik Air Base to Romania: Sources
TruNews.com ^ | 18 August 2016 | Doc Burkhart

TRUNEWS has learned through several media sources that nuclear missiles that are housed at the Incirlik Air Base in Ankara, Turkey, may be in the process of being moved from there to a base in Romania.

Two independent sources told EurActiv.com that the US has started transferring nuclear weapons stationed in Turkey to Romania, against the background of worsening relations between Washington and Ankara.According to one of the sources, the transfer has been very challenging in technical and political terms.

“It’s not easy to move 20+ nukes,” said the source, on conditions of anonymity.

According to a recent report by the Simson Center, since the Cold War, some 50 US tactical nuclear weapons have been stationed at Turkey’s Incirlik air base, approximately 100 kilometres from the Syrian border.

Day Three of Russian-Iran Airbase Partnership Against ISIS

Russian bombers launched a third day of air strikes against militants in Syria from an Iranian air base, the Russian defense ministry said on Thursday.

The ministry said Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and Su-34 fighter bombers struck Islamic State targets in the Syrian province of Deir al-Zor.

It said the military aircraft had taken off from bases in both Russia and Iran and destroyed six command posts and a large number of fighters and military equipment.

All the Russian planes returned to base after the strikes, the defense ministry said.(MOSCOW (Reuters) - Reporting by Alexander Winning; Editing by Maria Kiselyova)

This is just great! Now the Gypseys will try to steal our nuclear weapons.

Gypseys are in every “RACKET” ever imagined. Never underestimate any Gypsey organization!

“If there are 60 some there, and they are moving 20, does that mean that Washington is only giving about 40 to the Islamic militants?”

Exactly what I was thinking, move most of them that way they have “oh no those arent ours we moved ours out some time back...”

Expect the base will be overrun shortly after the last nuke is removed.

I wouldn't remove the last one. I would bury it in a secret location deep under the base. The base gets overrun, trip wires detonate it. So sorry, but accidents happen!

We have nuclear missiles at Incirlik also ? That will be news to the turks. They thought there were just gravity bombs.

When Jihadi Turkey and the Rooskies announce their new military alliance, it might be considered awkward to have US nuclear bombs stored at *their* joint base. Just a thought.

The Rooskies are already running bombing missions (against CIA/ISIS) from Iran...

Why is this being broadcast to the general public. I would imagine all our enemies know that .. but if they didn’t .. THEY DO NOW ..!!!

It was in Hillary's e-mails anyway. Old news.

Should have been done on the first f*cking day.

AND we should not have heard about it being done until it was done.

SAYS A LOT about these KIDS running the country.

Remember in the first couple months of the first term when like THREE different admin officials went around publicly quoting MAO TSE TUN..??!?

This should be a news story after the fact! Barry might as well sent ISIS the route of transit and time schedule.

The fact that the handwriting is on the wall concerning the Turks is no sign we need to put the nukes where the organized-criminal-ex-commie Gypsies can get their hands on them.

But, we were told that we were stupid in believing that nukes were still there when the base was cut off.

Now, we are hearing about 50 nukes at the Turkish AFB.

What can go wrong?

Read this book about what can go wrong when some former USSr nukes end up in the wrong hands. Don’t read it before you go to bed.

This is so friggin' amateur that I'm aghast.

Are you willing to have US blood spilt to protect those weapons in Romania...when they just as well could reside in Germany or the UK?

This move will provide Russia all the real justification they need to put up military forces in Ukraine.
