Hurriyet Daily News: US has 150 nuclear weapons in five NATO countries: Turkish Parliament report
The United States has a total of 150 nuclear weapons in five NATO member countries, including Turkey, according to a report on worldwide nuclear arms prepared by the Turkish Parliament.
The report, titled “Data on Nuclear Weapons,” said there were around 15,000 nuclear weapons at 107 sites in 14 countries as of July this year, daily Milliyet reported on Oct. 31.
“Nearly 9,400 of these weapons are in arsenals for military use and the rest are standing idle to be destroyed,” the report read.
It added that some 4,150 of the weapons in arsenals are ready to be used at any minute, while 1,800 are in “high alarm” status, which means they can be prepared for use in a short period of time.

50 Nukes on Turkish soil should concern the U.S. as Erdogan is an autocratic, miscalculating Islamic supremacist.
If the Russians bomb the Turks with nukes because there is war between the U.S. and Russian that would concern the Turks. Little else should concern them.
Am I off base? I could be.
