"Trump just made history as the first US official to confirm the US has 50 nukes stored in Turkey.."



paul mcleary ✔ @paulmcleary

If I'm not mistaken, Trump just made history as the first US official to confirm the US has 50 nukes stored in Turkey. "We're very confident" they're safe, he said via pool report.

“Why in the HELL doing we have nuclear weapons there”

My daughter was in the room and she said, “ We wasted so much money on that. With 20% of what we had we could have wiped out the entire world anyway”.

the silo test by Iran and the close up picture, showing the capability of our satellite, the number of weapons in Turkey, etc. Seems like he's the traitor in all of this, revealing tidbits of information to anyone who follows his idiotic tweets.

If another U.S. official did that, he or she would be prosecuted.

btw..
Trump just became the first US official to confirm the presence of 50 US nuclear bombs based
in Turkey. "We're very confident" they're safe, he told reporters, via WH Pool

US and Nato officials never talk about nuclear deployments abroad.

Turkey cannot be trusted, clearly.

Why we ever trusted them, given their long-standing illegal occupation of Cyprus, is beyond me.
