The Turks have been our allies since the beginning of the Cold War. The have provided the United States with an air base(which contains B-61 nuclear weapons and at one time Jupiter IRBM missiles) within striking distance of Moscow and other important Russian ICBM bases. This is the perfect spot because it covers both Europe and it is able to strike missiles from Russia.

The actual deployment locations of the Jupiter IRBM missiles within Turkey are still secret more than 40 years later.The central deployment base was Cigli Air Force Base.
