[Egypt's parliament authorised the deployment of troops outside the country on Monday after the president threatened military action against Turkish-backed forces in neighbouring Libya.
The parliament unanimously approved "the deployment of members of the Egyptian armed forces on combat missions outside Egypt's borders to defend Egyptian national security ... against criminal armed militias and foreign terrorist elements", it said in a statement.
The deployment would be made on a "western front" - a likely reference to western neighbour Libya. The move could bring Egypt and Turkey - which support rival sides in Libya's chaotic proxy war - into direct confrontation.]

Thank god that we are NATO buddies with Turkey. For some unknown reason.

I only worry about it if it effects the Kurds

China going into India
Iran blowing up all over
Trump kicking the Chi Coms out of Houston
Nothing to see here. New cases exploding -
Because we had missiles there pointed at Moscow?WestlinnDuck said:Thank god that we are NATO buddies with Turkey. For some unknown reason.

We have lots of missiles and lots of other NATO allies. No reason to let the Turks into the club. The offer us nothing but trouble.

By the mid-1970s, at their peak, the United States had 7,000 tactical nuclear weapons in Europe—including almost 500 in Turkey.
Turkey was a special case even then. In 1962, Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev settled the Cuban missile crisis through a secret trade (which remained secret for the next quarter-century): Khrushchev would pull the Soviet missiles out of Cuba, 90 miles off the coast of Florida—and six months later, Kennedy would pull the U.S. missiles out of Turkey, near the southern border of the USSR. The U.S. missiles—15 of them, known as Jupiters—had just been deployed earlier that year. (Eisenhower had agreed to put them there in 1959.) By the time they were dismantled, one of the first Polaris submarines—carrying 16 nuclear missiles—was stationed in the Mediterranean; Kennedy convinced the Turks that the Polaris subs, which could roam beneath the ocean’s surface, undetected, were a far more secure deterrent than the land-based Jupiters.
However, over the next decade, as tactical nukes dotted the European landscape, the Turks eventually got their share of them. And as NATO air bases hosted planes capable of carrying nuclear bombs, the Incirlik base in Southern Turkey got some of those, too.
Concerns were raised about that base in 1974, after Turkey invaded Cyprus, flaring tensions with Greece. In response, the United States removed its nuclear weapons from Greece and put tighter locks on those in Turkey. No alarms were stirred about the security of the other nuclear bases in Europe.
Might be time to bring them home -
Beyond time. The Russians are no threat to the Turks. The Turks are now a nutcase Islamic state.

We already had WW3 after Trump had General Salami killed. It was all the rage for a week right after Christmas.

No Muslims ever.

I don’t know, I’ve been watching a Turkish show on Netflix called “The Protector” and maybe having Turkey in NATO isn’t so bad.
Rawwwwrrrrrr. -
Turkey hates us mostly, but they hate Russia even more. Alliance of convenance. They served purpose.

I remember reading years ago that Russia protects its southern border with Turkey. The Turks are not the best to get into a fight - they must fight dirty.
Need to verify with a vet that has been to Korea, the Turks there didn't need to have security forces because nothing would ever be stolen. The US bases were always having stuff ripped off. Could be BS - just stuff I heard when I was helping to defend Europe from the Russkies (and making sure no bad beer or wine was shipped back to the states) -

Turks and Russian fought before. Turks killed 20k Russians in one day. The Turks bought Winchester lever guns! This was massed army stuff. Russians marched in from distance using single shot needle guns IIRC. Turks engaged at distance with rifles and when the Russkies got within 600 yards they switched to Winchesters. Each Turk had one and a carton of ammo. It was a slaughter.LebamDawg said:I remember reading years ago that Russia protects its southern border with Turkey.

I heard the same things from my friends dads. Nobody phucked with the Turks. But that was 70 years ago.LebamDawg said:I remember reading years ago that Russia protects its southern border with Turkey. The Turks are not the best to get into a fight - they must fight dirty.

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks -
Don’t forget the Battle of Gallipoli in WWI. The Turks slaughtered the obstinate British imperial Army who miscalculated the Turks.
It was a huge black-eye for Sir Winston Churchill and set back his career for many years. -
Yup Churchill left the admiralty in disgrace and joined the army to get his name back.
