Remember, communists aren’t religious, Saddam wasn’t religious. The world has an amazing array of bad guys flavors to choose from. We shall see.

The President of Turkey is currently giving a statement on Facetime. That’s when you know he might be losing control of state infrastructure”
“The revolution will be carried live on Twitter...”
Ya-who’d a thought a couple years ago that Assad would still be around and Erdogan gone? Apparently anyway...
Erdogan is gone!!

KFI Brian Suits talk about Turkish president family it like cheap version of Godfather his son is Fredo
“It’s not really a risk since you don’t actually have an option. We don’t get to pick. We just get to watch. And usually we watch a bad situation get worse.”
Not always, my FRiend. It has gotten better in Egypt, both for the Egyptians themselves (stability, more security, return of tourism), and for the Middle East in general. If this Coup succeeds, things will get much better in Turkey, just like the last time the Turkish military had to step in to reinstate a more secular society. The Turkish military are the defenders against radical Muzzies taking over their country.

Basically says the coup will succeed.
Oh man, I’ve been in your shoes with kids overseas and SHTF. Worst week of my life!! I will keep you and yours in my prayers! Please keep in touch and let us know how it’s going, or if there’s anything we can do.
Please elaborate.
So everyone keeps promising. But my memory is long enough to remember secular bad men in the mid east. It’s just not a place that’s fond of growing good guys. We’ll see. It’ll be nice to be wrong but until the new government actually DOES something I will assume they’re like 99% of the other governments that have been in the mid east in my life time. Because I always play the odds.
Wonder if Obama will pull the same stunt he did with Honduras.
wonder if our military will pull the same stunt as the Turks
Thanks...waiting to see what happens....if there’s resistance.
!00% for this, if Erdogan can be deposed. His demise is a bonus.
A coup is long overdue in Turkey. Put Erdogan in shackles, try him for corruption, and jail him for life.
As I recall Atatürk set up the system there so that the military is supposed to intervene to protect Turkey from a theocratic takeover. A friend did some contract work in Turkey many years back. He had a beard but shaved it because the military guys were distrustful. Thought he might be an Islamist. Lol!
Are your kids due to be there a while or just a short visit?
Don’t bother the Imam in the White House - the WNBA is on ESPN ( maybe they’ll say something about him)
My daughter lives there with Mom (maybe not after this) and my son is visiting them for a month.
Those secular bad men are NOTHING compared to what we have now.
Secular is good and the more brutal the better.
