Unrest in Turkey

[exploited]

This thread has really delivered in terms of identifying who is and is not a complete nutcase. Sad that I can say stuff like "A good Turk is a dead Turk" and still come off as more sane than some members here

As the only supporter of democracy here, the worst part of this board is that it is a prime example of why democracy can be terrible. You have highly educated people, and they can't talk about serious issues without sounding like they are discussing sports teams. Truly an indictment of American education.

WTF are all these Turks in the street doing. No clue whose side they are on.

that crowd is starting to yell allahu akbar. turkish soldiers have already started gunning down 'fanatic erdogan supporters' for shouting just that.

this is gonna get really bad if the military doesn't get their shit together.

[The Comrade]

GET READY BOYS, IT'S HAPPENING.

I'm afraid this won't be like the last time, but the time before it.

the 1960 coup? i think it's already worse than that one. the military is bombing shit, soldiers are fighting the police in the streets, they're gunning down protestors in istanbul.
