I hope they find Erdogan and his son strung up like kites from the Pink Palace in Ankara. With Bath-house Barry strung up right next to him.

I thought the U.S. removed nuclear weapons from Turkey as part of the settlement of the Cuban missile crisis?

Looks like it is petering out. Seeing Soldiers whom gave up being marched off by the Police. Military not willing to fire on civilians.

During the Bush Presidency he developed plans to extract nukes from Pakistan should a coup happen. Obama hopes that Iran extracts the Turks nukes.

It’s starting to looks like another Operation Valkerie. Not good for a secular Turkey.

There are several good reasons why tanks are equipped with hatch covers that lock from the inside.
This is one of them.

I’d tend to agree. A friend of mine from a former life (Turkish veteran) once described Turkey as an army in search of a country. He loved Ataturk and hated Islam.

The situation is too fluid right now.
To: Biggirl
By hesitating that tank commander got his ass beat and his tank captured. I notice that Erdoğan left the country and encouraging his minions to fight in the streets and that he will return (if they win).
