Incirlik.

This is coolbert:

American and Turkish cordial relations and military cooperation in jeopardy?

As reported by the latest edition of the DEBKAfile newsletter:

"Erdogan locks US airmen, nuclear arms in Incirlik"

20 July.

"Some 1,500 US airmen and their families have been locked in the southern Turkish air base of Incirlik together with a stock of tactical nuclear bombs since President Reccep Erdogan crushed an attempted coup on Saturday, July 16. In the four days up until Wednesday, July 20, therefore, no air strikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq had been staged from the base. This extraordinary situation . . . whereby a large group of American military personnel are held virtual captive by an allied government, was almost certainly raised in the phone call that took place Tuesday between President Barack Obama and Erdogan. But the most outlandish aspect of this affair is that no American official has raised it in public."

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ISLAMIC STATE WILL SUFFER AS A RESULT? THIS IS AN ISSUE OF CONCERN? AND AS FOR THOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
