Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s “disturbing” foreign policy has spurred U.S. officials to intensify preparations to withdraw from Incirlik Air Force base, according to a senior Republican senator and American analysts.

“We don't know what's gonna happen to Incirlik,” Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee for Europe, told the Washington Examiner. “We hope for the best, but we have to plan for the worst.”

Erdogan has threatened American access to the base, which reportedly houses dozens of U.S. nuclear weapons, multiple times since he squashed a failed coup attempt in 2016.

We should already be out of Turkey.

And Turkey should be out of NATO.

They are not in any way our ally.

They are currently the enemy within.

I wouldn't allow even one, let alone dozens, of US nukes anywhere near Erdogan's control.   He can't be trusted.... so whoever made the decision to put those nukes there is an idiot.  Or complicit with that "Caliphate" goal.

Insanity.
