#2 Another liability forced upon America because some generals think the world would end if it came to pass.

See - the whining of the admirals and generals over Subic Bay NS and Clark AF.

#3 "According to White House visitor logs, on January 19, 2016, Eric Ciaramella chaired a meeting of FBI, Department of Justice and Department of State personnel, which had two main objectives:
To coerce the Ukrainians to drop the Burisma probe, which involved Vice President Joseph Biden’s son Hunter, and allow the FBI to take it over the investigation.
To reopen a closed 2014 FBI investigation that focused heavily on GOP lobbyist Paul Manafort, whose firm long had been tied to Trump through his partner and Trump pal, Roger Stone.

#6 I wonder if we still nukes at Incirlik. If I were me, I would have removed them slowly, one at a time, disguised as routine flights. Maybe replace them with a little radioactive waste so a casual Geiger counter inspection wouldn't show anything missing. Yippy is just too much of a wild card at this point.

#7 My guess is the nukes have been gone for quite a while.

#8 We should be sure to leave a Mark 17 Bravo (15mt) buried there as a spoiler. 12 hours after the last American leaves....
