The US has 50 nuclear bombs based in Turkey

[WhySoDevious]

Trump just confirmed their presence to the WH pool: "We're very confident" they're safe.



I wonder what might happen to them if Trumps proceeds to "destroy their economy" like he's threatened to do.

 

[Kiraly]

lol

 

[Kyuuji]

Uh..

 

[Deleted member 4367]

It'll be like Castro in the Simpsons.

He'll ask for them back and Erdogan will just say "what nuclear bombs?"

 

[Jmdajr]

Ummmmmm.

Big deal?

Or most people in power know this?

 

[Deleted member 18944]

what the god damn fuck

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Heh. 50.

 

[Astronut325]

That's not something you say out loud...

 

[Maquiladora]

This was widely known for decades. The only thing newsworthy is that Trump admitted it.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Thank god it wasn't on an email server.

Oh hey we can add Turkey to the list of countries with Nuclear weapons now.

The Cuban Missile Crisis literally came from the knowledge that the US had deployed nukes to Turkey sixty years ago.

[BrutalInsane]

Yeah I'd make sure our bases are on extra high alert in this current climate.

 

[efr]

There's a great article from a few years ago about how unprotected and randomly spread out the US' bombs are around the world and in the US. The US has a ton of empty bunkers in the US that are still loaded with bombs and unguarded.

Some kid is going to set one off on accident and destroy half the world in the next 100 years

They have zero control of them. They're US nukes.

 

[mael]

What the actual fuck?
This is justifying any country's hostility to the US in the region.
From Russia to Iran.
How is someone so stupid allowed to have so much power?

 

[Kensation]

Ok, so they're not safe.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Ah yes, tact, the quintessential Trump characteristic.

 

[Persagen]

Because it's direct confirmation from not just a U.S. Official, but from the idiot President who should know better.

Just add it to the ever-growing, neverending list of reasons why he's unfit for office.

That isn't how nukes work.

 

[Typhon]

They are perfectly safe.

The soldiers that guard them will protect them with their lives and can sabotage/destroy them if necessary

[Maxim726x]

Weird, doesn't seem safe to me!

But I'll take the president at his word. He's bigly honest, and tremendously responsible!

 

[Deleted member 23212]

I think the bigger problem is that they're even there in the first place rather than that they admitted to it.

That is a giant bold flashing neon with laser sharks type of newsworthy.

So the U.S. has these secured or what?
Does Edgrogan just take them?

President Loose Lips at it again.

Turkey doesn't have control over them, the US does.
And yeah, the nukes are safe because it doesn't exactly take a genius to realize that stealing a god damn nuclear weapon from the United States would be one of the dumbest thing any human being has ever done.

Until someone actually pull it off and shows how inadequate the system is.
It's literally that kind of thinking that lead to the opportunity of some scrappy terrorists to pull a 9/11.

As of a few years ago, they were less safe than your car and the US nearly nuked a Virginia.

They're US nukes on US bases. Turkey can't do anything with them, nor could they get them.

 

[PJV3]

President Blabber-mouth, he just doesn't know when to shut up, he must be unbearable to live with.

 

[ultracal31]

50 and they're "safe"?

Oh boy they ain't safe now I can tell you that

 

[Vormund]

I think the bigger problem is that they're even there in the first place rather than that they exist.

In all seriousness, The US would have nukes stationed all over the world. Still, they should have moved them as part of the pull out.

You think someone could get into a base and steal a giant intercontinental missile from an extremely secure site? C'mon bruh. And if Turkey ever tried, the US and the rest of NATO would curb stomp them.

If Turkey touched those weapons we would go to war immediately.

He just never shuts up, does he? Was this suppose to intimidate Edgrogan? Laughable.
