Incirlik is nowhere near Istanbul. And the Turkish military is not stupid enough to make a play along those lines.
Isn't that where the NATO resources are stationed?

Ok, it's time the West starts getting involved. Threaten expulsion from NATO, or something of the sort, if this crap doesn't stop. He's gone full tin pot dictator in the last week.
Unfortunately, realpolitik would suggest that keeping Turkey in NATO is in our interest right now.
Not hiding it now....

Regardless of how and why the coup came about, Erdogan obviously is using it as an excuse to consolidate semi-dictatorial control of the country.
It's a question that goes beyond this thread, but we in the West need to ask why countries like Turkey are rejecting democracy and liberal values.
If we can't get modern Turkey, with its modern secular foundation, and its proximity to Europe, then who can we get?

On the plus side, I suppose Turkey's EU application is on indefinite hold for say, a 1000 years or something...
Maybe when the military guide it back to a seculer post otterman empire path ... just maybe they would become EU.

So they want to or have searched the base.
I hope the guards will not let them even to the door of tactical weapons storage....
Trust Turkish police round nuclear weapons or such.... I seriously hope not...

You are slightly paranoid about the nukes. The Turks won't touch them.
Ok.. But they are a concern...
How infiltrated and whole isil links to turkey.
Not a idea to mix that and those. Very dangerous idea.
