An estimated 50 US nuclear bombs are effectively being held hostage in Turkey as Washington attempts to find a diplomatic way of responding to the countrys invasion of Syria, officials are reported to have warned.

The withdrawal of American troops from northern Syria creating a power vacuum that has allowed Turkey and Russia to move into the region and displace Washingtons Kurdish allies has caused international outcry.

And as even his supporters accuse the White House of betraying its allies, Donald Trump has been forced to escalate his opposition to Turkeys Recep Tayyip Erdogan, threatening to destroy his counterpart's economy and contract Americas alliance with Ankara.

However, the rapid pace of withdrawal and the tumultuous decline of relations between the two countries has left administration officials scrambling to find a plan for the nuclear weapons stored under American control at the shared Incirlik Air Base in south east Turkey, reports said.

something tells me detonating 50 us warheads would have...consequences

I'd rather do that and decimate their country then let them steal them and decimate everyone around them and also let the world know it's ok to just steal our nuclear weapons. Also, if they were detonated in underground silos it would greatly reduce the fallout

Turkey already has nukes, they're not going to just randomly fire off these because they have them. This is more incredibly embarrassing than anything

You don't understand how nukes work if this is what you think.

My understanding is these are pretty hard to use without the proper know how, which ISIS prisoners would not possess

Theoretically you might be able to crack them open and use the material for dirty bombs, however.

it's not like turkey controls the bombs. they are under US control in a secure underground facility, and could be quickly rendered inoperable in a worst case scenario.
