Turkey warns sanctions could jeopardize US access to Incirlik Air Base

By JOHN VANDIVER | STARS AND STRIPES Published: December 11, 2019

Turkey could kick the U.S. out of Incirlik Air Base if Washington moves forward with sanctions linked to Ankara’s incursion into Syria and the purchase of Russian weaponry, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said.

A separate base that hosts a key U.S. Army radar used for NATO missile defense in Europe also could be made off-limits to the Americans, Cavusoglu said in an interview with Turkey’s A Haber news station.

“If the U.S. imposes sanctions against Turkey, then the issue of the Incirlik and Kurecik bases may be on the agenda,” said Cavusoglu, who issued a similar warning in July.

Pull everything, level it and salt it and then leave.

Then threaten to dissolve NATO if Turkey isn't kicked out.

Turkey needs us more than we need them.

Leave and let the Europeans figure out whether they wish to keep a check on Russian ambitions around there.

They are much more exposed than the US is.

Which happens to be Trump's point regarding NATO.
