personally i'm not saying we should move to 4, but turkey has US nukes stored in their territory which also brings us to the fact that unfortunately, they're a nato member.Give some really good reasons why you think the level should be 4 and remember that Turkey does not have nukes.
As previously stated, those weapons, if they're still there, are US property. Turkey cannot access them, arm them, or detonate them.personally i'm not saying we should move to 4, but turkey has US nukes stored in their territory which also brings us to the fact that unfortunately, they're a nato member.
Does this start any kind of conversations about invoking the CSTO equivalent of Article 5?vardenis is in core armenian territory, not artsakh.

As to them being a member of NATO, the charter is very clear on aggression by a member state. NATO is under o obligation to come to Turkey's aid since they are participating as an aggressor in a war against non-NATO members. They're on their own with this clusterfuck, wherever it goes.
If Russia, who has military relations with Armenia, decides to join in and strike Turkey directly, would that trigger a NATO response, or would it still be seen as Turkey's problem since they got involved in this war to begin with?

I agree. The strategic value of having nukes in Turkey is not what it once was, especially considering how squirrelly Erdogan has been acting of late.If Turkey really wanted to start a war with the US they could overun the base and get hands on with those nuclear weapons, if they are still there and whoever is in charge of them does not destroy them in time. I doubt they are there anymore.
