Daily Mail: Turkey threatens to close air base that hosts US nuclear warheads in response to proposed sanctions and genocide declaration over mass killings of Armenians
* President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey has the authority to shut the base down 'if is necessary'
* Erdogan also said Turkey could respond to an approved Senate bill recognizing the killings of indigenous Armenians in past centuries as genocide
* The move infuriated Turkey and further strained ties between Ankara and Washington
Turkey could shut down its Incirlik air base, which hosts U.S. nuclear warheads, in response to threats of U.S. sanctions and a separate U.S. Senate resolution that recognized mass killings of Armenians a century ago as genocide, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday.
'If it is necessary for us to take such a step, of course we have the authority ... If this is necessary, together with our delegations, we will close down Incirlik if necessary,' Erdogan said on A Haber TV.
Turkey can also close down the Kurecik radar base if necessary, he added.

This guy seems to be getting more extreme as time goes on as of late.
I vote for the beginnings of a pullout from Incirlik.
Kick them out of Nato and arm Greece to the teeth.
