Turkish Police And Soldiers Have Surrounded Incirlik Air Base Home To 1500 U.S. Soldiers And Nuclear Weapons

WNU Editor: There are a lot of conflicting reports with this story. There is also no coverage from the European and American press on this story.

Intimidation. Sending a message. I let you be the judge on why this is happening.
