Thanks, anonymous.
Trained for the failed mission ?
Yeah, Lucy; I’ve been following this for a bit.
My take on it is simple — blackmail!
Erdogan: give me that Turk hiding out in PA, and I give you your nukes.
He should be kicked out of NATO, and we should fuel-air bomb the nukes at Incirlik.
All these people replaced last month? Well how convenient. Guess they weren’t on board with Erdogan and Obama.
Obama is trying to prop up erdogan, who is necessary tothe destruction of Europe. He allows ISIS fighters and refugees to pass through his country freely. And The Turkish military tried to stop the flow and further ISlamification of the Turkish Government.
Obama supports Erdogan.Thats why we have such a turn over of US military command.....most how have been moved in are Muslim supporters within our US military.
This is very bad. Erdogan would be gone but for Obama, and Erope spared.
I expect the Russions and Iran to now support the Turkish Resistance to Erdogan.
Obama is on the worng side for his own nefarious ends: The Post Colonial Destruction of Europe.
“The Turkish government has closed its airspace to military aircraft, and as a result air operations at Incirlik Air Base have been halted at this time. U.S. officials are working with the Turks to resume air operations there as soon as possible. In the meantime, U.S. Central Command is adjusting flight operations in the counter-ISIL campaign to minimize any effects on the campaign. U.S. facilities at Incirlik are operating on internal power sources and a loss of commercial power to the base has not affected base operations.”
Interesting there were so many leadership changes at this time - to give the base “plausible deniability” or insert trained operatives?
