That being said, now we have an absurd situation with thousands of
nervous Turkish military, standing, armed and peering across the border
into Syria. Alongside that stupid spectacle, we have the recent
deployment of Saudi Air Force jets now sitting at the Incirlik Air
Base–106 miles away from the Russian airbase at Khmeimim, near Latakia,
Syria. The Saudi jets sit alongside some 5,000 airmen and the various
military jets of the United States Air Force 39th Air Base Wing, and of
the Turkish Air Force, along with F-15E jets from the British Royal Air
Force that arrived in November, 2015 to join the “attack on ISIS.” It’s
worth noting also that Incirlik Air Base today is one of six European
NATO airbases holding a stockpile of tactical nuclear weapons.
