Following the failed Turkish coup, U.S. military operations out of Turkey’s giant Incirlik Air Base - critical in the ongoing campaign against ISIS - came to a halt Saturday afternoon as the Turkish military closed the airspace around the base and suspended all US-led operations, mostly targeting the Islamic State.

Obama will probably give them the nukes.

After all, it’s not fair that we have them and they don’t.

Connect the dots. Turkey = ISIS. They staged a false flag coup to get the Nice terrorism and Donald Trump off the front pages.

Obama is NOT interested in the least in regime change in Turkey. These two are too close and Obama loves this guy.

Erdogan’s son is the oil marketer for all ISIS stolen oil production in Iraq and Syria, which is ISIS main funding besides Obama.

Don’t put it past Turkey to go full Islamic and turn against the U.S. and imprison all U.S. Military personnel.

Next step in the current Turkey trot?

From your link .....

Did Turkey offer its support in the 1991 Gulf War?

Yes, and it has allowed coalition forces enforcing the northern no-fly zone to fly from its territory for nearly a decade. It has also been very supportive in the recent war on terror. Since September 11, it has provided military support, tracked suspect financial networks, and been a major participant in the International Security Assistance Force, the peacekeeping force that operates in Afghanistan. That’s why the most recent break in the relationship is such big news to Turkey experts. “It might sound hyperbolic, but it feels like 10 years of improving relations have just gone down the drain,” Abramowitz said.

... they helped us during Desert Storm or are you calling The “Gulf War” the period other than 90/91 ?

No provision for backup power? That’s disconcerting.


Perhaps they only installed green solar panels?

Yes, I have seen reports that the Erdogan family is up to their eyeballs in bed with ISIS on the black market, oil and other commodities:

Great. Here is what I know...the FAA has suspended all flights from Turkey to the US.
The base houses 90 nuclear weapons.
From 1500 to 2500 US servicemen depending on the source.

Assuming a worst case scenario where Erdogan goes for the nuclear weapons......Do we have enough assets in place to secure those weapons?

Assuming we have enough assets, will they stand down if ordered to do so by the imam in the white hut or ‘secure’ those weapons anyways?

Unfarkingbelievable.
