    No matter how protected they are, there is the real possibility that that base is now surrounded by some one who is not an ally to the west. That really really sucks, and I hope we either get them out of there, or Turkey doesn't go full retard.

    Cuba isn't surrounded by countries that support their views.

    I can only imagine the number of liberty briefs that they're going through now. That's if they're even allowed to go offbase anytime soon.

    Makes sense, education is the best weapon to use against Edrogan.

    So I just thought, what about all these jobs lost? Thousands of people were just fired with no other source of income I'm sure, and now no education to even give them hope, so what the hell is there to do except blame people outside your country and worship a God like three times a day.

    The entire middle east all makes so much sense now.

    I don't think they give a shit about education or income when they are waiting to be executed.

    Are they trying to say that all of these people played a part in the coup?

    This is proving more and more evident that it was more than probably orchestrated by the dickbag Erdogan himself to go forward with this. Seems way too cleanly planned that all these people would be put on blast.

    You could make the argument that he was cleaning house of not just conspirators, but people those conspirators put in place or people who'd go easy on them.

    But then you got him sacking judges and teachers and all pretense goes out. If he didn't orchestrate it, he knew it was coming, and had all this filed in a folder somewhere labeled "Operation iWin".

    I imagine a moratorium on elections is next.
