Erdogan wants to proclaim anyone who disagrees with his policies to be a Gullen supporter. Erdogan hopes to be president for life. He’s an Islamist authoritarian.
Flynn will be National Security Advisor. No Senate confirmation required.
That should please Putin and Erdogan.
Gulen has a presence on every continent except antarctica.It has been suggested that our CIA was deeply implicated in the coup using Gulen as a front. This wont be resolved until changes are made by the new Trump administration.
What suggestions do you have for these changes?
Did you vote for Trump?
Why do you ask?
Gulen stated that he would work deep within the system until he has enough power to overthrow it. Estimates of how many Gulenists are now registered to vote in in our elections bears investigation. How many now hold positions in elected office, on police forces, in business and industry. Erdogan sees them as a threat to Turkey as he seeks to take total control, perhaps we should not be distracted by watching Turkey and pay more attention to our homeland.
Hoping Lt Gen Flynn has clear vision in this regard.
Some Gulen charters are located on our Air Force Bases.... problem? Who knows but I find this more than problematic as the methods they have used to establish these schools have been far less than honest. Lies and outright deceit was used in Hawaii several years ago and except for the investigative reporting of a small local newspaper there, might have gain a Charter. Politicians were treated to trips to Turkey in order to lure them, a practice that has been widespread and is well documented. Questionable methods, to what end? Answers the new folks at multiple federal and State agencies need to urgently seek .
It’s probably already obvious to you, but if you did then you saddled yourself with his decisions whether you like them or not.
I’m a conservative first. That doesn’t make me a blind adherent and apologist for every decision the president elect makes.
That doesn’t change what I said. You buy the farm; you own the weeds.
Well, you’re an unusual farmer. Most farmers clear the weeds so the crop will grow and be healthy.
