Turkey threatens to close Incirlik airbase for US military

If the United States imposes sanctions against Turkey due to the purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system, Ankara will retaliate right up to the closure of the Incirlik military base located on Turkish territory for the US military. This was stated by Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

We will evaluate the worst case scenario and make a decision. If the US imposes sanctions against Turkey, then the issue of the Incirlik and Kureggik bases may be on the agenda (elements of the European missile defense system are located - note “VO”). Turkey may ask US to withdraw its military

- leads the A Haber TV channel to the threat of the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

In addition, Turkey considers Russian fighters to be an alternative to the American F-35 and if the United States refuses to supply its fighters, Ankara will consider the proposals received from several suppliers, including Moscow.

The USA rejects all our proposals. You need to understand that when you insist on your own, you can’t go anywhere. If the United States is positive, we will respond in the same way. But if we can not buy the F-35, then we will look for an alternative. It can be both the Russian market and any other

- said Cavusoglu.

Earlier it was reported that Turkey is considering closing the Incirlik air base for US military in the event of an aggravation of relations. In October of this year, information appeared that the United States was considering the removal of B50 thermonuclear bombs from the territory of the Turkish military base 61, but this information was not confirmed at the Pentagon. Despite Erdogan’s efforts to reach an agreement with Trump, relations between the two countries are becoming colder.

Still, the Sultan of the Americans from the base in Izmir expelled. Indeed, precisely because of the deployment of nuclear weapons there in 1961, the Caribbean crisis began.

Wait, it's not evening yet. However, the trends in the world are very positive. More and more countries rebel against the United States, but only wipe themselves and threaten sanctions.

[VO3A]

Yes, you are not discussing!

They are studying the issue of the export of 50 thermonuclear bombs B61 from the territory of the Turkish military base,

These smelly p_ndosy scatter nuclear weapons all over the world ... They are so insolent that it’s time to put them in a stall ... We need to place fake bombs and several SU-34s in Cuba and listen to how much the stink will be!

This is yes. Mattresses are like cockroaches, if you start on some "Mashenka" crayons or "Kombat" tablets you can go broke while you take them out. Again, they will crawl over to the neighbors and will make "raids".

There are other options. In 2016, they wrote about Romania (though they denied it) - https://topwar.ru/99451-ssha-vyvozyat-takticheskoe-yadernoe-oruzhie-iz-turcii.html

Incirlik can be replaced with either Cyprus (Limassol) or Israel. Otherwise, all logistics in the Middle East are collapsing. After all, Turkey borders both Iraq and Syria.
But then Jordan will become the main one - whether it will pass dozens of planes per day over its territory.
So the option of eliminating Erdogan is very likely.

Yeah. Having considered the possible costs, the Americans would agree that it would be much cheaper and more efficient to sprinkle powder on Rajep.

I don’t know, it’s not that "style" I have.

About Jews, I did not contact you. So, thoughts out loud

And the fact that the Turks have an army and the Greeks only have a name does not speak in favor of moving the Yankees from Turkey. They will be in Turkey.

[KCA]

But what is the Greeks' parade uniform and marching step, the Indians with Pakistanis envy

[Altai72]

In the 20s of the last century, the Greeks were comparable in numbers with the Turks and this did not help them in any way. The Turks fought on several fronts, both land and sea. Turks opposed 23m countries. 250 thousand troops fought against 700 thousand coalitions. Now the number of Turks is over 80 million against 10 million Greeks. The Greek army is inferior in all respects to the Turkish one. The military budget of Turkey is 3 or even 4 times higher than the Greek. If you add here the developing Turkish military-industrial complex and colossal superiority in armaments, then the Greeks do not shine anything good. The Greeks must clarify one truth: they were Hellenes and Spartans, invincible warriors only until the appearance of the Turks in Anatolia. As soon as the Turks appeared on the horizon from the former glory of the Greeks, only legends remained. Here I am sometimes called a neo-Ottomanist, pro-Turkish, Turk, pan-Turkist. I’m not offended, it’s even more intriguing)) Sometimes you just need to delve into the essence of the situation and draw information not from tabloid brochures. Turkey cannot be underestimated. I do not think that the Turks will just let themselves eat. The Americans know this very well, and our GDP, too.

And the number of bases matters, although they can be located 10 km from each other. High air traffic density, a large number of equipment placed on the ab - this is not the most reasonable solution

Well, if they move, then it’s great for us. The front of a possible confrontation with NATO will be reduced, and the threat of a nuclear strike from a southern direction will practically disappear.

[Advisor to the Council of Advisers]

Here, many said that the Turks could ask the Americans to leave the base. This is of course a trump card, to buy the fifth generation not in the USA is another trump card. But I'm wondering, and then what will they do? And then there’s nothing special to cover.
If the United States spread its bases to Greece, and Greece and Turkey now have a new round of disputes over exploration and production of resources in the areas of Cyprus and Crete, it may reach a hot phase.
Oil painting is obtained.

[voyaka uh]

"Will move to Greece and all business" ////

I think so too. Greece has uninhabited islands for rent or even sale. There, the base will not hurt anyone. But it will have to invest a lot of money in the construction of an airfield, port, shelters.

In Greece and Crete and Cyprus, and so it is ... and British bases and American and Greece itself in NATO. There you have to watch the convenience of basing. Turkish bases were needed to attack the USSR with tactical nuclear weapons. How to replace them now? That is the whole question.

Cool conversation was between Macron and Erdogan.
Speaking on TRT, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said how, during a meeting in London, Emmanuel Macron expressed surprise that, as a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, Turkey purchased S-400 from Russia.
(Erdogan) I replied: “I need to ask you what to buy and from whom? )))

Turkey uses Russia as she wants and whenever she wants, and as soon as the United States relaxes pressure, she immediately runs to the United States ... Politics and actions are rotten, somewhat reminiscent of politics and actions of Lukashenko! Like - if you don’t do this to us, we will kiss the West .... I believe that this is not politics, it is parasitism and the existence of stronger states behind the backs, the position of jackals.

[bessmertniy]

Well, both Lukashenko and Erdogan differ in that the interests of their countries are more important for them, and not the interests of Russia or the United States. And this must somehow be respected.

[Zaurbek]

So let the Russian Federation enjoys all ....

Yes, you need to learn from the Turks how to adequately respond .... And not to arrange acts of goodwill .... So much for the nuclear power.

In addition, initially BRIC's are bricks (of the world economy according to Jim O'Neill), and with Turkey you get TRIC's (tricks, tricks, tricks, tricks).

The scythe hit the stone. Previously, Turkey had no alternative to the United States, now, after exchanging "pleasantries" the Turks will swing towards Russia and China, the Americans will calculate this and leave them behind, find a compromise.

[Klingon]

in addition to airbases, there is also a trump card in the Erdogan-Bosphorus arm, which, with too much stubbornness of the striped, can be blocked by restricting access to the World Cup

[bessmertniy]

This is controversial because it is regulated by existing international treaties.

[g1washntwn]

Are you talking about the Montreux Convention? So there only Turkey rules, everything is at its discretion. Yes, at least according to the tonnage, the eyes will be slightly opened on the regular British fleet and violations of the term of stay will sharply decline. As an exceptional but unlikely option, it is enough for Turkey to admit that the US is participating in the war (even in the same Syria, or Afghanistan, or Antarctica), and the passage should be closed for a warring country. Turkey is not going to completely break up with NATO, but to get the nerves for the sake of concessions for yourself is always welcome and with great pleasure.

[eagle owl]

In this case, Germany will perceive this as strengthening the role of Poland in the EU, but it must be remembered that it is Germany that is the economic donor to the EU, but Poland - an economic parasite - Germany gives money to Poland. And they can completely cease giving this money to Poland - and the economic effect of the deployment of the US base in Poland will become sharply negative. The Americans, of course, will bring some money to the Polish economy when placing their base - they need to eat and rest somewhere ... But will this kill the infusion of the German economy into Poland? That's all ... There is no money - there is no US base and there are no bombs either. Poland is profitable to milk the EU, and it is Germany

Oh, how I have been waiting for this moment! Will Erdogan decide on this, or not ?! And he went to the bank! And now it is clear that the process of "slowing down" Erdogan, the United States is close to "0".
He still has in his pocket the most trump "Ace" - withdrawal from NATO. He breaks the United States "through the knee", in front of not only NATO henchmen, but most importantly, in front of the entire world.
Until now, no one talked to the Anglo-Saxons like that. That is why they became morose, especially after the absence from the "arena" - the USSR.
