Coup attempt in Turkey

[RickStain]

If the people are determined to put a man like Trump in power, no amount of constitutional restriction was going to save the country in the long run.

LOL.

Well, maybe Article XII could save us. But that's it.

Istanbul is a cakewalk compared to Baghdad, Kabul, or Islamabad. At least you can walk in public there without too much fear of being killed.

Guess bigpern's friend is OK. Haven't heard Chaffetz or Gowdy mention anything.

Actually, due to the job conditions itself, that's not necessarily true. I won't bother explaining.

Those truly concerned about BP's friend know the story. Some people taken advantage of PMs to conduct personal matters.

I'm intimately interested in this thread, but I'm leaving it now due to your comments. You've made it not worth it to me.

You win. Goodbye.

I'm sorry you can't handle crticism, but think you can handle Baghdad and Kabul.

I criticize the fact you've just speculated a couple of times here and making it seem as if you're in some war zone, while trying to maintain a veneer of authority regarding the situation.

As for bigpern's friend, is it really your job or business to nose around because a guy on a message board was concerned? If something did happen, I doubt it should be released here, even via PM. I question your professionalism and ability to handle pontially sensitive info.

Turkey clamping down on the judiciary, military, media, education, etc.

It's now an Islamic dictatorship, and now they're making threats about their relationship with the US.

Time to throw them out of NATO.

So then you're saying the coup attempt was probably orchestrated so that all of these dominos could fall?

When the Turkish political and American sports worlds collide. Here's a weird little twist on the story.
