US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Joseph Dunford is due to fly in for an inspection of the air base today. He is also expected to hold talks with the Turkish government in Ankara

We still believe the situation at #Incirlik AFB is routine in nature due to a VIP arrival, we will keep monitoring the situation.

At this time, it looks like #Incirlik is readying for either a VIP or inspection. We are not finding any evidence of a coup or takeover

Crazy times. And nothing in the US media. Wow. The blue pill media. Find it odd that they are blockading the entrances and exits with dozens of commercial trucks. They did that in the past to keep armored vehicles in the base. Incirlik is an air base. Perhaps some right hand men of Erdogan will be meeting with the US and they need that security to keep out rebels and terrorist. But police alone can do that now. Nukes and chairman, oh my.
I think it is unusual as well. It shows that we have little clue about what is really happening there that we are concerned about our relationship with Erdogan.
What has happened there is a disaster. Turkey, a NATO ally with a large army and Western technology, has become Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood with a neutered military leadership (the traditional lid on Muslim extremism). It is unlikely that anyone will stand up to Erdogan now - he used this opportunity to make himself Sultan even though he does not yet voice it to the West.
This is also a disaster that may split NATO. Some NATO countries will not stomach an Islamist with a record of horrible human rights promoting radical Islam and buying ISIS oil while others will because of political correctness, buying the oil, or fear of their own Muslim immigrant citizens. An already complicated political picture in Brussels became much worse.
