BREAKING: Military coup in Turkey in progress! Tanks on the street, police disarmed.

[primalmatter]

Yeah well, this is not going to make defending Islam any easier. *sigh*

Ever consider that maybe you shouldn't defend it?

[Theodarzna]

This is good for the isis loving wannabe dictator indeed.
Maybe after this he will finally gain the full control he so desperately wanted.

The people atleast seem to want islam.

The coup makers are stupid, they won't win a coup without the overwhelming support of the people and this hardly helps their cause.

Well good luck Turkey, Sharia AHOY!

Hitler ran like a bitch with his tail between his legs when the Munich coup failed. Was in doubt for a long time after that.

Then he went to prison. recovered mentally. wrote mein kampf and the rest is history.

Looks like Erdogan will skip the prison bit and go straight to the "Mad dictator" phase. And people will be screaming "Allahu Akbar" while he does.

The AKP won 23,681,926 million votes 49.50% last year.

You know how the 10% threshold works in turky ?
Every Party under 10% loses there votes to the big Politicalpartys....

Maybe Erdogan didn't flee. That might as well just be fake/propaganda. We don't know that yet.

He fled to the south of Turkey, I didn't really got the name of the city. He made a statement there and then probably flew back to istanbul. You could see a private jet flying from said city to Istanbul and then landing there on an online flight radar (https://www.flightradar24.com/).

just because drumpf lead you to believe that how other countries with no guns do businesses, thats not how things are dont in turkey. alcohol is very common in turkey, there are no restrictions on what women can do/wear. the government doesnt have the best record for LGBT community, but it does not go and hunt them down. so no, no man can flip and a switch and "sharia", this might be hard for your to understand if you are an american, but other people in different countries have "freedom" too, shocking i know.

lol for real?

yeah he apparently only won with 13.3% of the votes from what i've read, how accurate that is idk

That must be the worst "democratic" election system in the world. Unbelievable

lol, I'm going by Erdogan's rather Islamist statement, save you "Drumpf," angst for the next John Oliver video.

Even better Erdogan campaign pledge was to remove this shitty voting system.

[Grimbold21]

If you thought Turkey joining the EU was gonna take ages, it's probably impossible by now

I think you inserted a couple of extra words there. His campaign pledge was to remove voting system.

And make Erdogan pay for it.

[LordOtaku666]

A very worrying time.
Can't we all just get along?

imo Humans have and are unable to coexist with one another without conflict, we are akin to animals in that way. We fight for whatever reasons we can come up with to justify our war's and genocides. Accepting this makes all this much easier to take in.

OT: Very sad to see, not sure where the end of year will end up in, but not seeing anything good ahead.
