Coup Attempt? in Turkey

[Yuri-G]

when you put it like that, and say that russia/US fall under those descriptions, who do you think is different? lol

Third world countries where dictators don't even pretend to give a shit
First world countries (especially the Nordic ones) that do a far better job of caring for their people

[Zetanio]

Because the US has such a low standard of living.

I forgot about that.

[Thunder]

I think you're falling for the political memes that paint a really bad picture of the US. We've got it pretty good

[Andalusian girls]

Their world is FAR different.

Are you being serious?

nah man Russian politics are the same as ours. haven't you been keeping up with the hundreds of reporters and opposition leaders throwing themselves out of windows and getting gunned down in the streets of DC ? a plague of defenestration, it's afflicting all first world nations.

Oh yeah, my mistake.

defenestration isn't a word you read/hear often.

[Zealot]

It's my favorite word, both in terms of saying and the fact that it was an act happening so often as to merit its own word.

Turkey says Wiki is doing a smear campaign as the reason for the block.

Reality has a well established liberal bias.

9 injured, 2 arrested in fight at Turkish ambassador's home

Sounds like pro-Erdogan people kicked the shit (literally) out of some Kurds

Edit: On ABC World news, they had a more graphic video of it. The President's security forces, who were armed, literally kicked the shit out of protesters

Oklahoma City Thunder player Enes Kanter held in Romania after Turkey cancels his Passport, Kanter says it's because he spoke out against Erdogan

To be fair, it's pretty fucking retarded to speak out against an authoritarian leader who just finished seizing all power in the country.

Turkish government issues arrest warrant for Enes Kanter, pro-government newspaper reports

The Turkish government has issued an arrest warrant for Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter for being a member of a "terror group," according to a pro-government Turkish newspaper, The Daily Sabah.

Kanter is a vocal supporter of Fethullah Gulen and the "Gulen Movement." After a military coup attempt in 2016, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan placed blame for the attempt on Gulen and his supporters.
