This is bad fucking news.

Spoke to my military buddies that are stationed in turkey right now. The police (government loyalists and sharia supporters) were on incirlik AFB rounding up officers. They're going to be mass executed.

I have a feeling this situation is going to quickly turn into American hostilities leaving nuclear weapons at risk of falling into Turkish hands.

Article

2500 military personnel stationed there, and guess what. The power was cut to base Friday , all the Americans are sleeping at their units not in the barracks.

They aren't allowed to arm American personnel due to an American Turkish agreement.
I'm afraid this is going to turn into a gigantic Benghazi type event

I really don't see the Turks getting their hands on the nukes.  I could possibly see a situation where Israel swoops in and grabs them during some major chaos.

Tagged to see where this goes.





eta We covered the contingency plans for nukes in the earlier threads.  No one is getting them.



The Turk military is being purged from the top down.

With what and why?  The Izzies have far fewer Fighters and Heavy Lift than we do.  

I'm not even going to bother with the idea of having anyone else grab and "safeguard" our nukes for us.

Except, he won't see it coming and it'll be too late by the time he responds...  in which case there'll be all sorts of new folks ready to use the stolen nukes on US assets right away.

 



If they are smart, the weapons are already destroyed.  




It'd be fun to think of the base just being cleared of people and for them to light them off... but that would be rude.

Have to agree.  Clear out the people, nukes, and destroy the rest in place.  Explain that any attempt at intervention will result in the removal of Turkish military assets as deemed necessary by the circumstances.

LOL, some chicken little going on yet again...

Nukes are a strategic level asset. If Erdogen wants to commit suicide then sure, he could order it. Let alone that they'd have to get through the rather...significant barriers to the weapons before they would be inert'd.

Barracks are not on the "essential" list when it comes to generators/water supply, etc. plus accountability is much easier when centralized. Odds are the units have power/AC/water. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be sleeping in a building with no power in July in Turkey...
