Well, the downside of purging your officer corps is that you don't have an officer corps. Those F-16s won't do much of their pilots have all been shot.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

Send in a MEU and let them fuck shit up, which airborne division is in Italy? Send them in also. I don't think an MEU and a couple battalions of paratroopers (it is a brigade in Italy, not a division) will accomplish much against NATO's 2nd largest military heavily equipped with western tanks, APCs, helicopters and F-16 fighter jets. Well, the downside of purging your officer corps is that you don't have an officer corps. Those F-16s won't do much of their pilots have all been shot. Iran had to empty its prisons to have an air force when Iraq invaded. Had Saddam waited another year for the purges to be complete they'd have had nobody left to fly them. The Iranian air force is still not trusted and funny enough,the legacy of American training has remained all this time,look at the patches on their flight suits for example. Hitler kicked off the invasion of Poland too early too,it made Stalin stop the Great Purge. Another year of it and Zhukov and Konev would have been dead too. Of course,Obama and Kerry already declared Erdogan the legitimate democratic government even while Turkish press is saying that it was a CIA plot. Back to the Iran example,Erdogan may be thinking he can stand against the US and Russia at the same time. Recall that the Mullahs had a brief civil war and cleansing of the Communists who helped them take power,there were Soviet flags painted on the street beside US ones. The dumbasses in the parties that are supporting Erdogan are forgetting that Iranian factions were purged too,the Kurds who support him will be blamed next. |

Order of priorities: 1) Get those nukes out of there. Destroy them in place if required. They cannot fall into Turkish hands. 2) Get our people, military and civilian, out of Turkey. 3) Do something about those Turkish F-16s. That's too many to allow a radical Islamic regime to own. Somehow, I envision Obama allowing the nukes and the F16's to stay in Turkish hands, and to abandon our guys there. |

Which will take months... |

Judging from the numbers, it looks like Erdogan's purge has gone far beyond the so-called Kemalist "deep state" and has decimated the entire secular, Western-oriented professional class. The comparison to Iran is very fitting.

It's Turkey. We should be happy it's only mass murder, not genocide (yet). Does this mean they will finally admit to mass murdering Armenian Christians? Turks Do Genocide Like A Boss I.5 Million murdered. Executing a few thousand officers will be a no-brainer. In 1915, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. By the early 1920s, when the massacres and deportations finally ended, some 1.5 million of Turkey’s Armenians were dead, with many more forcibly removed from the country. Today, most historians call this event a genocide–a premeditated and systematic campaign to exterminate an entire people. However, the Turkish government does not acknowledge the enormity or scope of these events. Despite pressure from Armenians and social justice advocates throughout the world, it is still illegal in Turkey to talk about what happened to Armenians during this era. How does that go? Admit nothing, deny everything, demand facts, ignore facts? like I said.. what prisoners.... |

Greece will help, but only give temporary relief. Greece doesn't want any part of this mess. They have their hands full, between the debt crisis and the refugee crisis. Right now, the Greek government is trying to finesse the case of the 8 Turkish coup participants that landed their helicopter in Greece. (The helicopter itself was turned over immediately to a Turkish crew that flew into Alexandroupolis from the Turkish base at Gallipoli.) The Greek government told the Turkish government that it would be extraditing the 8 Turks, but now they have formally applied for asylum and public opinion is rallying in their support.

Send in a MEU and let them fuck shit up, which airborne division is in Italy? Send them in also. 1. The 173rd in Italy is only brigade size 2. It isn't quite that simple. How are you going to get them there in condition to actually be combat effective? How are you going to supply them? How are you going to get the rescue force plus all the base personnel and sensitive equipment out after you go full whatever? This isn't a Benghazi scenario where a couple dozen operators, an A-10, and a couple empty planes would have made a huge difference. ETA: The airbase is landlocked so unless you plan either taking out all of Turkey's air defences from the base to the ocean and having everyone fight their way to the sea they are going to be pretty much stuck after the initial shout of "Merica" |

Ah yes, didn't FBHO come out in support of the Turkish government and condemn the attempted coup? He is supposedly good buddies with Erdogan. |

Yeah, I picked that photo because it really shows how the system worked. There is a picture with a VIP looking at a 61, but you really can't see the vault as clearly. Guy was wondering about size instead of output. Could you help there? Quote HistoryQuoted:

They are British WE177C nuclear weapons, about 200 kilotons. But that is an old picture, they were withdrawn from service in 1998 or 1999. They were the RAF equivalent of the USAF B-61 for forward deployed NATO airfields. Yeah, I picked that photo because it really shows how the system worked. There is a picture with a VIP looking at a 61, but you really can't see the vault as clearly. Guy was wondering about size instead of output. Could you help there? Sure, it was just a hair over 11 feet long and weighed about 1,000 pounds. |
