Remember we have a huge air base in Incerlik Turkey, where nukes are stored.
I respectfully disagree somewhat.
I posit that Erdogan perpetrated a false flag event so as to allow him to purge the military and indeed all of society of those that agree with secularism. Seemed pretty obvious at the time.
Fake news?
Too soon?
The tourist scene, especially along the southern coast is dropping like a rock. From June on, for 2016, German and Russian tourists just refused to go. Lot of the resorts just shut down early and some are in caretaker status for 2017 with no hope of opening.
You can find deals right now for flight, hotel, three meals a day, and all drinks (including beer) at a 5-star hotel for two weeks (leaving out of Frankfurt) for 350 Euro range.
Without that tourism and hard-cash...I don’t see how they make it through 2017. Some people suggest that infrastructure projects will start up by the gov’t to hype employment, but these don’t affect hotel employees or tourism-related operations.
So, let's pack 'em up, load everything else up...and get the hell out of the crap hole.

I'm tired of the outstretched hands, and nothing in return.

To hell with Turkey...and most of the other "NATO" countries.
All they see in us is a free bank, open hours, unlimited withdrawals.
