“They are almost certainly rigged for destruction if there is any chance that the U.S. will lose custody.”
So, you are going to use high explosives to blow up plutonium cores?
I was in a Pershing Battery in Germany. Rounds on quick reaction status were rigged with shape charges to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists. Germany had a Pershing Battery. The were not issued warheads, which were kept just across the border in the Netherlands, under U.S. custody, but could be released in the event of war.
I am mortally certain that the rounds in Turkey have provision for destruction to prevent comprise.
Blow up warhead plutonium enough to make it unrecoverable: “America exploded a deadly dirty bomb in Turkey!”
Blow up plutonium NOT enough to make it unrecoverable: “America allowed nuclear weapons material to fall into Turkish hands.”
Explain to me where you draw the line.
The plutonium is the prize, nothing else.
Processes Procedures in place to prevent such ...... sleep safe
Yes ..... nuff said.
Is it provable that they’re still there?
Didn’t we send some “air conditioners” somewhere in the west Pacific, years ago?
I don’t recall.
I’m pretty sure that destruction procedures and protocols were thought out before the weapons were deployed, and made clear to the host country. They know the rules.
Well, that gives the Turks something to consider.
But would Biden[’s handlers] authorize it?
Or order the American custodians to just leave them in place?

Slightly better than pits or actual warheads...
So we pull nukes out of Turkey and leave
On the contrary, Xiden and his ship of fools actually did the right thing by denouncing the Armenian Genocide. That was the only thing they have gotten right since stealing the Presidency.
Turkey is our enemy, and a dangerous one. The Sultan, Erdogan, is deranged and a danger to world peace.
Screw Turkey and screw NATO.
