Turkey thread: now stuffed with more authoritarianism!

[Senkaku]

So if he's not going to war...He'll look weak.
...
At this point it seems like Erdogan will be overthrown in a few months after this failed coup.

I don't think you understand the concept of war.

[Geilinor]

He might as well come out and piss on Atatürk's tomb. He's shown how much he cares for Turkey's founding ideals.

Yeah, and all the crowds of mindless idiots are cheering him on. What a fucking shame. I'm an American and it breaks my heart to watch Turkey go down the pisser.

Honestly makes wonder if Erdogan's trying to revive the Ottoman Empire or something.

The Ottoman Empire isn't coming back, but Erdogan is a neo-Ottomanist.

[Western Weyard]

Oh please, like this was an independently organized coup... In the past, present, and future, [a certain world superpower which can't take its fingers out of other countries business] has to pull strings from behind the curtains. While I agree Erdogan is in such a position to begin executing people in the middle of the city and nothing will happen, the elections should dictate what happens, Turkey is Turkey's business, no one else's.

Then you'll certainly agree that Erdogan should back the f**k off regarding extra3, Böhmermann, the Armenia resolution etc?

I know it's not coming back. I just mean it seems like Erdogan is trying to return to those days. Kind of like Putin and the Soviet Union.

[Ardoki]

Erdogan seems committed to destroying democracy and secularism in Turkey.

I think those are peanuts compared to his ties with ISIS and other Islamist militant groups in Syria.

You got some evidence to suggest the US supported the coup?

Got me there.

Of course he has none.

It's not the U.S., it's the other meddling world superpower. You don't know about it because it changed all the maps to not show it, which should give you a good idea of how much meddling it does. You didn't really think the Pacific was that empty, did you?

I doubt Fiji could engineer a coup in Turkey.

That's what they want you to think! They've been trying to lull us into complacency with their annual tribute of water! Open your eyes people!

Gülen calls coup a false flag. The Gülen movement, it should be noted, supports multiparty democracy and interfaith dialogue.

I've been hearing that too. People saying everything was coordinated so poorly by the instigators, then all the tv stations and so on coming online right as Erdogan returns. Suspicious, but it's hard to be sure looking at from the other side of the world.

I've considered that. It'd be a pretty cheap way for Erdogan to further cement his control over the country.

Yeah, military coups are always hit or miss. Usually miss

Nah. They usually either fail or end up another bad regime.Can't think of an example in recent memory otherwise

[The United Slavic Kingdoms]

Resign?

Nah, BOMB the HELL outta Erdogan.

I call it: The Nagasaki Way

[Dalviric UIA]

Eh. You're right.

But still. Someone's gotta topple Erdogan.

[The United Slavic Kingdoms]

My dad is afraid about the future of the region now. Erodagan has an excuse to increase his authoritarianism, may become a full blown Islamic state, and they have NUKES.

[Hellgustine Empire]

The Military must not give into the hands of that fascist president who wishes to harm the meaning of democracy and freedom in turkey just for corrupt money.

No they don't have nuclear weapons.

It's over. It's likely the coup was the only hope for the military to win, they probably don't have the resources or the will power to fight a war
