That's exactly why they are aligning with Russia and China with an alternative like BRICS.
We're forcing the world against us like we did when we drove Russia into China's orbit.
Good job - you fools.
Wasn’t removing nukes from Turkey the main concession JFK made to the Soviets to end the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Under Trump: The Conversation, Oct 23, 2019:
As the Syrian crisis pits Turkish troops against former U.S.-allied Kurdish forces, Pentagon officials have been reviewing plans to remove 50 nuclear bombs stored at a U.S air base in Turkey.
A congressional directive to the Pentagon to quickly assess alternative homes for U.S. “personnel and assets” currently stationed at Incirlik Air Base is part of a broader bipartisan bill, still being debated, that proposes sanctions against Turkey. President Donald Trump has been forced to issue public reassurances that the weapons are secure.
During the Cold War, the U.S. stationed B-61 nuclear bombs in Turkey, among other NATO countries. Formally, the U.S. controlled the weapons during peacetime, but the host countries’ forces trained and equipped planes so they could drop the bombs with U.S. support in the case of war. The idea was to deter Soviet ground forces and reassure U.S. allies by making clear that the U.S. would be willing to risk nuclear war to block a Soviet invasion of a country hosting the bombs.
I’d be more than willing to pull all of our troops and our nukes out of Turkey.
No, you’re thinking of the Jupiter missiles that were in Turkey (as well as Italy) for a forward strike capability. They were nuclear capable. B-61 warheads for aircraft are a different issue.
We stay away when it’s Atlanta week. Too much crime, litter, and stupidity.
In the fwiw department this has been going on a long time.
Since 1977.

They should never have been admitted to NATO. Let them join with China, they will soon find out communism is godless and they only need to look to the uighur Muslim to see how they will be treated.
So much awesomeness!
And tell us exactly how you know about the Uyghurs?
Where do you get your information? Have you been there?
Tell us, too, what you know about the Uyghurs.
What are the allegations against China?
Several countries, including the US, UK, Canada and the Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide - defined by international convention, external as the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.
The declarations follow reports that, as well as interning Uyghurs in camps, China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group.
The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said China is committing “genocide and crimes against humanity”.
The UK parliament declared in April 2021 that China was committing a genocide in Xinjiang.
This is just one article, there are thousands on the internet. In addition, many relatives in the US have been interviewed by both the fake news and conservative media.
Sure they did. They also told us there were WMDs in Iraq or that commies were coming after us in the small country of Vietnam. How'd that turn out? You believe the constant messages (programming) about so-called enemies -- yet these are the same people who deliver messages that hookers peed on Trump in a Moscow hotel or that not a single person was left behind in Afghanistan or the "take the vax," and you will absolutely 100% be protected? Oh sure!
The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said China is committing “genocide and crimes against humanity”.
Blinken. Now there's a source of information you can 100% absolutely rely on!
This is just one article, there are thousands on the internet.
Oh sure. I saw it on the internet -- it must be the gospel truth!
Look at the pattern, my friend. We are spoon-fed our daily dose of information from a well-trained cabal of manipulators who have honed their skills at this for decades.
Think about it. First comes the intense media and information attacks against a country, particularly its leader, to "condition" us to believe. Then, once the information campaign has achieved its purpose, we move in for the kill (military attacks). How many times have we seen this pattern over the last 60 years? It's a repeating, recognized pattern.
If you don't see that, then good luck with your decision-making. These are the same people who launched the information attacks on our last president. So, go for it.
Not to belabor the point, but this just popped up on FR a few moments ago....
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4262864/posts
Don’t believe me.
Believe this smart guy.
The more important question is whatever happened to “Turkey”? ... or to “Kiev” and “Peking” for that matter!
Or Constantinople.
I never thought I’d see the day someone on FR is taking the Chinese side on the Uyghur Muslim atrocities. Maybe you will believe the day they use you or your families for organ harvesting. Or maybe you are excluded from such worry as a member of the CCP
It is likely that FR has been a target of interest by several foreign intelligence agencies. The “five cent” army and the “five kopek” army are probably just the beginning.
You know what "I never thought?"
I never thought that so many people like you would still buy into the lies we are told every day!
Let's try on a few......
-WMDs in Iraq
-Commies coming after us in Vietnam
-COVID will kill you unless you take the COVID vax. It's 100% effective
-Jan 6th was an insurrection
-Y2K will stop the planet
-Russians are losing because Putin has cancer & they are running out of missiles
-Absolute game-changer weapons for the Ukes: javelins, Abrahms, HiMars, ATACMS...and on and on and on
-Hookers peed on Trump in Moscow
-Trump won in 2016 because of Russia's collusion
That's just a short list. You get the idea. We could keep that going for an eternity.
When you go to China and see a poor Uighur getting his insides yanked out, then tell us all about it.
In the meantime, you just keep on buying the BS. Maybe you'll see the truth one fine day.
Another reason to dump NATO.
No it was pee on the bed not Trump. Get their lies straight!
