Erdogan has been consolidating power by using extreme Islamic ideas to gain power, quietly supporting ISIS, etc. Turkey is a democracy and the prime minister is supposed to have power (like the UK), but Erdogan wants all the power as President (like Russia...). The military is pro-democracy (bit ironic they'd start a Coup but nevermind that ) and wants to shut Erdogan down. Hard not to sympathize with that cause too.

    Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
    Turkey has no business being in nato - not that nato really has any reason to exist anyway. erdogn is a us puppet. iran was very secular too until our forces helped overthrow the secular leader and push the country into a veritable religious enslavement camp in certain ways, but it aint as bad as the saudis, a similar false top.

    they forgot about the takeover of hawaii too

    it doesnt make sense that the leadership of a country would do this

    but if you dont care quite so much about your sword-arm du jour, as it were...

    with how sloppy it was done...

Why? How could they have even done anything to implicate themselves overnight on a Friday?

    It absolutely wreaks of something funky.

    Turkey is fucked. I wonder if the 1950's CIA would just shoot this guy and instate their own puppet All the crap they did during the old days isn't looking so bad compared to what the Arab Spring has sprung.

    Erdogan wants the death penalty brought back for the 'traitors.'

    Sounds like he's going to go on a cleanse...
