Secular Turks in Germany saying this is an anti-Islamic putsch. We shall see...
Of COURSE!
My point exactly.
Obama is NOT stupid.
He is how Tolkien wrote out Gandalf’s description of Saruman,
“It is ill dealing with such a foe:
he is a wizard both cunning and dwimmer-crafty,
having many guises”.
Ezekiel 38 setup?
Maybe. Unless they aren’t. Just look at recent replacements.
Post #14 ~ It’s about time. Erdogan is a dictator and needs overthrowing badly. The military in Turkey, as usual, to the rescue to get rid of him, just like al-Sisi did in Egypt. Time to get rid of Erdogan, just like Egypt got rid of the Muslim Brotherhood jerk dictator, Morsi. Two down, more dictators to go, including ours, Obama, via the November election. ~
I posted minutes ago on a different thread :
Post #100 ~ The military in Turkey, like the military in Egypt, has always been the enforcer of the more secular aspects of the nation, and after the current Turkish regime had gone a little off the rails, the military, organized mostly under the revolt of the colonels, is throwing out the deadwood.
This is not a new phenomenon for Turkey. ~
Agreed. But will they succeed? That remains to be seen...
Right! 0bozo Must wait for ValJar Or Soros To tell Him What To Think!
Unless they aren’t anymore. With Isis and the Brotherhood both being strong on the other side of the border who knows who has infiltrated the military. After the way “Arab spring” turned out I no longer expect improvement.
I doubt this will affect Turkey’s chances of joining the EU.
Do not know if for or against. If less muslim that Erdogan then pro coup I suppose.
Except for when they don’t.
Before Erodogan, Turkey was secular islam
Erodgan saw himself as the potential leader of the (religious)Islamic Caliphate,.. and acted like it.
Awaiting further information ..
Check out the history of Turkey, it was ONLY when the military controlled that the Feral Orthodox Muslims were kept under control! Frankly, I am somewhat surprised that their military (after a decade of "leadership purges") is still able to assume their traditional role in maintaining stability there!
Secular Turks are very good friends to have!
They will do well. There is a history of that in Turkey.
If I understand it correctly fox is reporting the military coop has to do a lot in part because of immigration. They fear civil unrest...I did not get all of it just that snippet. The world is burning and our leaders don’t give a chit! Like Hillary said we have to import 1/2 million refugees in America so that we can know what their intentions are so that we can analyze it or like Lynch said we must kill them with loving kindness!! IDOITS!!! America is next!! Don’t think for one minute it cannot happen here it will happen problem is when!
Probably a good thing.
And now...we can forget about those Lord of the Rings quotes because we’ll have Obama to compare such things to in the very near future.
This goes back a couple of months and it talked about the new political strong men, including one Donald J. Trump:

The military there has long been a supporter of democracy.
Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.
He knocked off Morsi in Egypt too. He is crushing the Muslim Brotherhood globally. Next stop here in DC.
