why does everyone keep saying Turkey has no nukes? it is reported that they actually have 90.

A total of 90 B61 nuclear bombs are hosted at the Incirlik Air Base, 40 of which are allocated for use by the Turkish Air Force.[56]
en.wikipedia.org...

now these arent huge nukes that can destroy a whole city, but 4 or 5 of them will. so i believe nukes are off the table and it will go to something more conventional. also not sure how nato and a few other of Turkey's allies would like to see israel pop off a nuke at Turkey. might bring others into the fray.

at this point though things look to be settling down, either that or the calm before the storm. maybe Turkey is trying to garner support throughout the world in phone calls and battle strategies. i am sure there is alot going on behing the scenes right now. and this has been building for awhile as Israel and Turkey relations have been getting more and more strained and i believe the tipping point was when Turkey tried to be the U.N. go between for the arabs and the rest of the world by making a deal with Brazil, and Iran for their uranium. Turkey it seems is being undercut and ignored for a war between Israel and Iran and maybe Turkey has decided maybe Israel instead of picking on Iran should pick on someone their own size. every military rank i can find rates turkey 9 or 10 on list with Israel the next country behind them on the list. even steven.

Those are US nukes, stored in Turkey. The US would have to give its go-ahead to use them. That makes them completely irrelevant in the current situation.
