Turkish police used tear gas and water cannon as hundreds of people at a pro-Palestinian rally on Sunday tried to storm an air base that houses U.S. troops, hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was due in Ankara for talks on Gaza.

I've said for many years now that the US should close Incirlik. We should move out all our equipment and munitions, flatten the land, and then give it back to Turkey. Good riddance.
We have mucho weapons stored there...
No Muslims in vehicles on any US bases.
What kind of security do they have to protect the airpersons? I know the Navy uses Marines.
I was at Incirlik in 1982. I felt the same way, back then. I never thought the Turks were our ally.
Turks are using NATO to weaken Russia, so they can rebuild The Ottoman Empire.
Nucs, maybe?
Back in the 60s when they tried to storm Sinope, they were told go home or no water for you, and if that doesn’t float your boat, the 100 artillery pieces aimed at your town will.

“I was at Incirlik in 1982. I felt the same way, back then. I never thought the Turks were our ally.”
I was there in 77 and thought the same.
It was good to see the Turks stopped the protestors from entering the base. With the way ErDOGan has been talking, I wasn’t sure what would happen.
👍👍👍👍 Hang in there bro.
The only thing keeping Turkey from developing nuclear weapons is our storing of the weapons at Incilrik. We pull out of Incilrik and the Turkey tries to rebuild the Ottoman empire.
Any American would have been shot dead on the spot.
We have nukes still stored there I believe!
Useful during the Cold War. But it's a liability to have them there. It's not far from Syria. What if ISIS captures the base?
I agree! Especially get any nukes remaining there out.
“What if ISIS captures the base?”
Won’t have to..Biden will give it to them.
WELL PLACED BOMB WOULD SOLVE THIS VERY QUICKLY!
