Was it a coup, or a staged event to purge his shithole country of the people who oppose his barbarous savagery? Let it sink in for a moment and understand that Erdogan isn’t ‘democratically’ elected. The elections in Turkey are about as fair and equitable as the Democratic primaries here. All we know is this so called coup was revoked inside of hours of occurring. Soldiers were abandoned at key points without support. Crowd control weapons weren’t used to disperse the moronic people who took to the streets to climb atop tanks. The net result is a much stronger Erdogan, who is now calling on Obama to extradite his arch enemy, who happens to be domiciled in Pennsylvania.
Erdogan has ordered the arrest of 2,745 judges in Turkey. He’s already arrested next to 3,000 soldiers. This trend of tyranny will continue, without question.
Erdogan, victorious and with a mouth filled with hate said :
“They will pay a heavy price for this,” he warned, calling for the death penalty to be reintroduced.
“This uprising is a gift from God to us because this will be a reason to cleanse our army,” the president said in response to the bloodiest challenge to his 13-year-rule.
Naturally, the caliphate enablers in the White House are ‘entertaining’ extradition of a Turkish cleric who has lived here, peacefully, for the past 15 years.
In a televised speech, Erdogan said Turkey had never refused any request by the U.S. to extradite “terrorists” and invoked Washington and Ankara’s relationship as “strategic partners” in an effort to force the return of Fethullah Gulen.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday the Obama administration would entertain an extradition request but Turkey would have to prove wrongdoing by Gulen.
Gulen denied knowledge of the coup to reporters at his Pennsylvania compound Saturday. The cleric said that he knows only a “minute fraction” of his legions of sympathizers in Turkey, so he cannot speak to their “potential involvement” in the takeover attempt.
“You can think about many motivations of people who staged this coup. They could be sympathizers of the opposition party. They could be sympathizers of the nationalist party. It could be anything,” Gulen, who has lived in the U.S. for more than 15 years, said through an interpreter.
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the ground are saying they had no idea they were part of a coup. They were told by their commanders they were partaking in a military drill. This sounds like a power grab by Erdogan to me. There is no way these so called commanders would do such a stupid thing, while attempting to take control of the country.
And there you have it.

Agreed! There goes hope for a better world.
The trade must be energy. Obviously looks obvious. But what obvious trade does not work in a manipulated Granny tape? $COP is a decent one but $XOP is a trash heap fit to bail out $WFC and its executioner Uncle Cheeseburger.
The military coup was poorly organised and the soldiers looked completely lost. A semi pro paintball team would have been more effective. Yet, the Erdogan response was executed with precision from the social media response and the swift arrest of thousands of judges just hours later. Ironbird called it last night….Fake. Orchestrated.Consolidation of power.
Is this moron trying to have a show about him on Netflix or something
They have super-delegates luck us? Neat!
Who let’s themselves get pulled out of a tank for a beat down? Recommended cinema for Turkish Tank Gunners… > “Fury”
That Lira should tell the tale. If it goes ape shit into the dirt. This is bigger than a power play.
Why do you think a fake coup is bullish for oil, when the immediate reaction was a jump in price?
Oh do not know. Maybe because this game is all about fucking you out of your money. Here it is in song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaTCYNOVmnI
Not surprisingly, Erdogan has removed or arrested over 2,000 judges who, by definition, are part of the coup because they exercise independent judgement. How convenient that the incompetent coup occurred. The caliphate is now almost complete.
The U.S. angle is interesting.Turkey is holding hostage U.S. air operations out of Incirlik Air Base against Syria and ISIS presumably until it extradites Fethullah Gulen, now living in Pennsylvania, who Erodogan blames for masterminding the failed coup. John Kerry is “considering” the extradition request that will require Turkey to prove Gulen was involved. No news on whether Erodgan has halted oil shipments from ISIS across the Turkish border.
It’s a scam
Happens all the time. Most people don’t even notice
This is why they keep doing it. Haha

Why does the west support Erdogan as he pushes Turkey ever closer towards an extremist radical Islamist tyranny? If all we ever think of is our wallet and ignore those who repress freedom will we not eventually regret it?

I thought it was a little odd when the coup leaders said they arrested the Turkish leadership but then all the sudden didn’t. Idk though, Obama placates turkey too much
The military arrested none of the leaders. They did take over 2 bridges and the luggage claim area at the airport. I’m thinking from here Turkey gets invited and goes in to the EU for “stability” and to replace Britain. What timing!
Turkey is so fucked – worst NATO “ally”
Like the avatar. Fucking karate kid. Back when we believed scrubbing shit ourselves mattered. Got tools now for everything. Will trade you two ebts for a payday loan on one section 8. If it rents.
@ironbird, lol.
Yeah, looks like it was faked. Nothing as fake as Obama’s love for the U.S., though.
good stuff, Fly …
Fake. But just another issue that the globalist Obummer will fix.

Coup organizers used Woody Allen’s Bananas as a playbook. Great movie.

Can’t extradite him without court order which will take forever anyway. Obama and Kerry are just throwing smoke at Edrogan.. they and he know it. Sooner or later Edrogan will end up hiding in a Saddam hole.
