Is it time for the US to leave Incirlik airbase in Turkey?

Is it time for the US to leave Incirlik airbase in Turkey? That’s the focus of a recent op-ed by Michael Rubin, who argues that rather than remaining a strategic asset, Incirlik is now a strategic liability. Michael Rubin joins our host Thanos Davelis on The Greek Current to discuss his op-ed - “The one foreign base Biden should abandon” - and explains why it’s time for the US to end its military presence in Turkey.

Michael Rubin is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a former Pentagon official.
