Rough politics is men's work. Especially in Islamic countries.

But I was always told that Turkey was “westernized.”

So much for that.

Some political demonstrations are potentially blood sports. Some are conducted under more civilized rules.

You were probably also wondering if the women weren’t out there because other, presumably fundamentalist men, would abuse them if they were out in public and the crowd’s blood was up.

I don’t know which of the above ROE explains it better. I think you’d have to live there to know.

Moscow 1991, during the attempted coup. Compare and contrast.

Funny he was out of the country, too. Looks like his enemies got smoked and Erdo has consolidated power.

bingo! Our Odumbo administration never fails to support the islamists. We should have never supported the “Arab Spring” .We should have supported the Shah, Mubarak, Quadafi, and Assad. These neanderthals cannot tolerate or accept democracy. They need a strong leader who only kills a few thousand a year instead of the millions now killed by the crazies.

I we were witnessing House of Togarmah change before our very eyes. Perhaps we just did.

Ezekiel 38 and then the Tribulation, IMHO. Whatever happens, they are definitely coming and not too far down the road.

Their first step should have been to bust a cap into Erdogan.

Without that, they were doomed.

Judges who are supportive of the philosophies that prompted the coup attempt. Sort of like Obama cleaning house of conservative judges to be replaced by more supportive liberal judges.

Simply not enough support. The same thing that would happen here. The first thing the government did was shut down social media.

I’m going to buy me a CB radio just in case.

[[The military wanted to restore secular government.

The Satanic animals (backed by Satan) won the day.

And the world grows darker and races to the Tribulation. ]]

Antichrist kingdom is starting to form.
Revised Roman Empire but it is not .
Rome never ruled Persia , they couldn’t conquer them.
It’s a revised Ottoman Empire .
All the countries in Daniels vision were conquered by the Ottoman , not Rome.

And both Europe and the United States have invited hoards of them as their own judgement for turning against God.
