China Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Turkey could close Incirlik air base in face of U.S. threats: Erdogan ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey could shut down its Incirlik air base, which hosts U.S. nuclear warheads, in response to threats of U.S. sanctions and a separate U.S. Senate resolution that recognized mass killings of Armenians a century ago as genocide, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. “If it is necessary for us to take such a step, of course we have the authority ... If this is necessary, together with our delegations, we will close down Incirlik if necessary,” Erdogan said on A Haber TV. Turkey can also close down the Kurecik radar base if necessary, he added. “If they are threatening us with the implementation of these sanctions, of course we will be retaliating,” he said.

Which is interesting. it seems to me that most of the anti-obama sentiment there was due mainly to how his admin was much tighter with military spending then they found acceptable...yeh, there was the basic backlash from conservatives in the military as to him being a liberal dem and yeah to this day unfortunately there's still too many racists in uniform, but the rep for "not supporting the military financially" and what was taken from that as implications of his worldview seen as weak against adversaries like russia/syria/iran/korea (and now we have trumpo lololol) and thus not good for int'l security (also see "apology tour") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
