and the US supposedly keeps nukes on Turkish soil at the Incirlik air base, as part of its NATO role.

it seems incredibly unwise to me, given its a Muslim country bordering ISIS, Syria, Iraq. and its a Muslim country with a known history of coups. a messy/failed coup attempt could degrade into a civil war, or, continuing anarchy. in such a situation, I can picture scenarios where the US nukes at Incirlik fall into the hands of... people who may wish us harm. For example, ISIS or another terror group.

I think the US gov does lots of dangerously irresponsible things, this is just the latest example of one of them being brought into sharp focus.
