Ataturk is rolling in his fucking grave.

Fuck Erdogan. Fuck the Turkish State.

Well, about that...

Also this is Turkey, the place where you get murdered for suggesting Turkey and/or its current leader have not been the best ever. If they want to disappear people they will.

Some of Erdogan's language was pretty chilling, talking about "cleansing" the military and the like...

There is already images and video coming out showing the some executions and mass detention of people supposedly involved in the coup.

I would probably support providing turkey with some American-style freedom at this point...

Even more Ew.

I would prefer to see the EU get involved. It's at their doorstep.

I know it's not correct. My response here is purely emotional.

Fuck the Turkish state into the ground

I mean yes but can't it be someone else for once?

You know I was just thinking the world needed another fundamentalist dictator

If it gets onto an even number they cancel out

We should have a Hunger Games for all the world's dictators

And then just shoot the winner anyway

How unfortunate. The coup just ends up making Erdogan more powerful.

Psyche · Post Post #39 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2016 9:18 pm

the turks support him so whatever

I mean, okay, more power to the turks, but Erdogan's regime does not exist in a vacuum. Authoritarian pseudo-dictatorships around the region, including my own government, will be taking this as legitimation of their efforts to suppress any dissent.

Idk what the solution to the Turkey problem is right now, but it probably involves Erdogan getting assassinated.

That's one way of resolving matters. But it might stir up unrest, cause instability and other negative long-term consequences.

Davsto · Post Post #43 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2016 2:12 am

oh yeah and keeping him in power won't?

Honest question - when has assassinating a world leader changed things for the better?

Nope

Erdogan is a dictator but he keeps things stable. Look how quicklt the coup was overturned under his rule. If he had a fatal heart attack 5 minutes into the coup they would still be slaughtering each other today

Davsto · Post Post #46 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2016 3:48 am

I mean if the military had a coup in the first place that's a pretty strong sign of an "unstable" country

Uh no, not really

'sides, if Turkey is unstable then killing the guy giving it order and structure can hardly make things better
