US Transfers Nukes from Turkey to Romania. Washington Losing Control of Some 50 US Tactical Nuclear Weapons at Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base

The base was impacted significantly by the events of July 15 and their aftermath. Former base commander Gen. Bekir Ercan Van was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the plot, while the Turkish authorities cut the base’s electricity supply off and prohibited US planes from taking off.

“It’s not easy to move 20+ nukes,” a source told the EurActive news website.

Another source confirmed to the media outlet that arms are being transferred from Turkey’s Incirlik air base to the Deveselu air base in Romania due to Washington’s lack of trust in the Turkish authorities in the wake of the thwarted coup attempt in the country.The Romanian foreign ministry denied the reports in a written answer to the media outlet.

On Monday, the Stimson Center think tank warned that the United States was running the risk of losing control over some 50 US tactical nuclear weapons deployed at Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, just 70 miles from the Syrian border, to terrorists. In a statement to accompany the report’s publication, the think tank stressed that a protracted civil conflict in Turkey would make the fate of the weapons uncertain, referencing the attempted coup in Turkey on July 15.

      Lol! Button, button, who has the button?

      They might as well hand them over to the Russians or Red Chinese, they might be a lot more secure.
      Only Uncle Sugar would be stupid enough to base weapons of any sort not under full control on the soil of a Muslim or “former” Communist country. It is to laugh!

      Steeling nukes is not like steeling a car where it’s easy to hot-wire the egnision system and no one can just walk in even with tanks and just take these nukes without them and the attacking forces being blown to bits and thats just from the TNT used to trigger an attomic reaction that would be set off out of sync to render said devices useless.

      Now i know bin-laden can hijack four planes and crash them all into buildings but in the real world it’s not like that and if it was so easy to acheive a 400% sucess rate then why has no one tried it since 9/11

      You have been watching too many James Bond movies me thinks
