It would be a declaration of war on the US and NATO.

I think you may be underestimating the results of that attempt to take the nukes by force. Syria, Libya and Iraq are representative of what would happen to Turkey if they did that. The US is vindictive, and tends to hold a grudge for a long time - and it behaves that way on subtle matters, this would be 10x. The US would proceed to do everything possible for the next two decades to destroy Turkey and turn it into a third world basket-case, and it wouldn't care about the fall-out from doing so.

I'm sure that you are correct. But that doesn't solve the problem what we'll do once they have the nuclear weapons.

Turkey is no North Korea, they have strong ties to many governments and are in a strategically central position.

On top of that they have a lot of open disputes with many countries around them and they are known to act militaristically.

It's the mosques calling for jihad we should be paying attention to.
