An estimated 50 US nuclear bombs are effectively being held hostage in Turkey amidst Ankara, Moskova and Washington’s consolidated demographic-disaster project.
Following a ploy, American troops were pulled from northern Syria – creating a power vacuum which allowed occupying Turkey and Russia to move perfectly into the region which has caused international outcry.
However, with the rapid pace of withdrawal and a superficial decline of relations between the two countries administration officials are said to be scrambling to find a plan for the nuclear weapons stored under American control at the shared Incirlik Air Base in south east Turkey.
Officials from the State Department and Energy Department, which manages Washington’s nuclear arsenal, met at the weekend to consider how they might retrieve an estimated fifty tactical nuclear weapons held at the site, according to The New York Times.
One official told the paper the bombs were now effectively Erdogan’s hostages. It is feared that removing the weapons could signal the end of relations between the Nato allies, while leaving them in place could put the weapons of mass destruction at risk.
The conundrum comes just a month after Erdogan said it was “unacceptable” that Turkey was not allowed its own supply of the weapons under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty the country signed in 1980.
A phone call between Trump and Erdogan last week, and the US president’s subsequent decision to withdraw from Syria after clearing out Isis-held territory with the hand of the SDF, is said to have been described as an “off script” moment by American diplomats.
