This

I was gonna play Darksouls
but this is way more fun
Someone saw an Altay on the highway so like
im waiting for tankbowl

I was scrolling through my games, and realised I only had a couple achievements left to farm on original Bioshock.
Last played the game six years ago.

Last save? About an hour from the end of the game on the hardest difficulty.
Easy 40G.

is bioschock good or something we sean before

[Costa Azzurra]

I've mixed feelings about this. As much as I hate Erdogan and wish him out of power, I think that we need the relative stability in the region that Turkey provides.

Yeah, if this descends into total chaos, like in Syria, ISIS could easily exploit the unstable Turkish situation and join in on the fun..

How do you democratically get a dictator out of office?

The Turkish constitution is still in effect here.

I believe the Turkish constitutions states the military is legally able to stage a coup or something along that line.

[Polar Svalbard]

How do you democratically get a dictator out of office?

The Turkish constitution is still in effect here.

That's why they are doing this coup.

[Calimera II]

You like drama.

He might be right though.

Purges in Turkey, caused by the military? Lol no

[Greed and Death]

They're overdue one really. Turkey used to have a coup attempt each decade or so.

That being said, in the absence of more information, if the PM can make a statement unimpeded one wonders how far this 'coup' has actually gotten.

He was apparently on vacation when the coup attempt occurred.

They did this when leadership is out of the country to minimize them rallying others or making martyrs out of them.

[Great Feng]

Well Trump deserves to be thrown out off office. As does Clinton. Neither of them represent truly democratic ideals.

Bullshit, unless they violate the laws of the US and can't be removed from office peacefully, then of course not.

I bet either would.
But we'll just have to see, won't we?

[Imperializt Russia]

Good thing Leadsom dropped out!

hahahaha

I've been making zingers for like twenty pages, at last!

[Valaran]

How do you democratically get a dictator out of office?

The Turkish constitution is still in effect here.

Shame nothing else like the media or judiciary or even opposition MPs were left so intact. Or you know, a good chunk of the country being engulfed in constant fighting (Turkish Kurdistan). Yeah, that's really conducive to getting a fair democratic result, isn't it?

[Viuskore]

revolutionary jets firing at islamist autocrat supporting traitors on the bridge, this coup will succeed!

[Umars memeistan]

breaking: there are multiple fractions in the protest and coup
sorce sky news

[Milizewe]

He might be right though.

Purges in Turkey, caused by the military? Lol no

They did a lot of purging in the past.

[Valaran]

NTV reports that F16s have taken down a Sikorsky owned by the coup-ing military.

Who even knows how true this is.

[Western Weyard]

Military Special Forces commander is live on the phone at CNNTurk right now. Claiming those who attempt this coup have failed/will fail. Calls them traitors.

Sky: Turkish PM "It is now the time to give a necessary response".

They always say that, Gaddafi's advisor said they would strike down the traitors until the very end.

And before that, there was Comical Ali: "There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"

[Upendo Mwenyewe]

He might be right though.

Purges in Turkey, caused by the military? Lol no

It's not like the entire military is behind the coup.

[Anollasia]

It's only a group within the army doing this. It's not even commanded by the head of the military. In previous coups, it's always been the head of the military who was in charge. This is more like anarchy.

Wasn't the 1960 coup not lead by the head of the military?

It was led by Cemal Gürsel, head of the army. Tbh that guy seemed decent, he actually developed the country after he took over.

[Arcturus Novus]

I support it. Erdogan is a goatfucker.

Jesus, than get him out of office democratically.

It hasn't worked yet. Maybe a coup is what he needs. Not my first choice but hey, when push comes to shove amirite?

[Viuskore]

The Turkish constitution is still in effect here.

That's why they are doing this coup.

The constitution says to overthrow the government if it gets to fundamentalist.

[Nariterrr]

Turkish fighter jet shot down military heli supporting the coup. Reuters says.

[Flauc]

Turkish National Intelligence HQ on fire.

This could be going awry.

The fire could have been only near it.. not sure.

Bioshock is from 2007 and is actually amazing.

It's System Shock 2 but with graphics and a plot and a disturbing attitude towards small children and wrenches and the interactions between them.

[Socialist Nordia]

Unless Clinton or Trump start usurping the Congress, yes they are.

Well Trump deserves to be thrown out off office if elected. As does Clinton. Neither of them represent truly democratic ideals.

Unless, you know, one of them gets elected and than follows the constitution. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean they're an illegitimate leader. This case is different, because its literally in their comstitution that the military can coup when the government becomes Islamist.

Isn't that the standard position of a tank barrel?

The gun looked quite elevated to me.

nuu the tanks on AA duty

I was attempting to 100% a Skyrim save file
Problem is that my version of the game s actually glitched because of the order in which the DLCs were purchased and as such I cant kill Miraak, so it will never be possible
Why dont we see you in the Infantry thread anymore by the way
it was more fun when there were more logical people
