Re: Military coup underway in Turkey

I hoped so too, Sabot. It's all very well to declare that Erdogan was elected - but so was Hitler. If you've been following his doings over the past few years, he's a bad, bad man.

I wouldn't be in the least bit scared of the secular, Turkish military, and their belief in the principles of Kemal Ataturk.

Emperor Erdogan and his islamic Brownshirts are another matter - his closeness to ISIS alone should be enough to tell people that.

I must admit that I too was hoping that things might have turned around when I looked at the morning news......I don't like him.....

Turkish soldier 'beheaded by pro-government mob on Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge' after failed coup attempt

Similar material is now appearing all over the relevant social media. God help anyone who has opposed Erdogan.

So, yet more Islamic Shit.

Exactly, Sabot.

And no, it is not 'racist' to dislike islam. Islam is NOT a race, islam is a belief system, with far more in common with other totalitarian belief systems such as nazism or marxism than any normal religion.

That is very true. Many people don't seem to 'get' that.

This purge in #Turkey is looking like the purge Stalin did. Judges, soldiers, and lawmakers being arrested, the dictator awakens. #Erdogan

Yes - every dictator the world has ever seen has done this. And Merkel and co wanted to let them into the EU. Oh God, I've just remembered, Turkey is in NATO.

This would be a very good time for a new world alliance - between the US and Russia.

So will the world now turn a blind eye to #Turkey and let it fall to ISIS Daesh? Erdogan is happy w the bride price & is handing her over

Sadly, there is currently only one world leader with the backbone to do anything about Erdogan. He's to be found in the Kremlin......

President Obama says there is no indication that Americans were among those killed or injured during last night's violence in Turkey - adding that the US has unwavering support for the country's democratically elected, civilian government

Fat lot of good he'll be if we end up with Iran Hostages 2 - Ankarah.

Erdogan has asked OBummer to arrest Gulen, who is in Pennsylvania, as he believes that is who is behind the coup attempt.

Did Erdogan STAGE the coup? US-based Turkish cleric facing extradition over botched rebellion claims president orchestrated plot to justify a clampdown on civil rights
Exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen accused Recep Erdogan of staging the coup
The Pennsylvania-based preacher has condemned the attempted rebellion
Erdogan told supporters he is considering reintroducing the death penalty
He claimed Gulen was behind a 'parallel structure' to overthrow the state

Quite possibly.

See Gunpowder Plot, 1605, and Reichstag fire, 1933.
