The greatest irony is that Endrogan

Who banned or restrict Facebook
Bans or restricts twitter
Who hates the social media in general
Banned street protests

Is on face time begging for people to protest in the street for him while he is running to Germany grin

@Appleyard of Moskow - Missy89 is currently singing a new song. She said she knew this would happen. grin

What new song? Do you understand the difference between a geopolitical situation and an internal power play ?

If this is sucessful, how do you think it benefits Russia? Lmao. Better get back to eating Putin's poop.

Gulenists want to make Turkey secular again. The military have always been secular. It was a matter of when
Did you just put Gulen and secular in the same sentence? Guess you don't know who Gulen is?

Yes. Secularism within the constraint of a Turkish society can still be worrying but it is a moderate position if you consider the alternative.

But why's the US holding Erdogan back from running to Germany? Merkel has already offered him asylum. grin

The only fear I have for turkish people now is that ISIS may turn turkey to a bombing field
should the coup succeed.

We were discussing economics, you mixed culture into it. It's ok but I already knew about religion and human rights in Saudi Arabia. I wanted a more profound description of the economic differences between the two countries. I had the impression that you know more.

Erdogan has been a crazed lame duck for time now. He has to go for negotiations in Syria to happen.

There's no way he can survive this.

Don't be too happy, if this coup was foreign influenced , then it is definitely western-backed
not Russia, Erdogan has been dictating to Europe since the refugee crisis and they will be
more than happy to have a friendlier person in power.
Exactly.

Erdogan has been a thorn in flesh for US, Israel and Europe.
No doubts, they have been dreaming of getting rid of him.

This coup has long been anticipated. Even the London odds makers had already staked out the odds.

It's quite ironic that Ironman Erdogan, who used to send soldiers to quench very peaceful protests, is the one now holed up somewhere, begging the people to go out in the streets to protest.

Power is transient, very very transient.

This just reminds me of the saying that, man proposes, but God disposes. God shall continue to expose and dispose of all them that want Syria to be another failed state like Libya and Iraq, in Jesus name, amen. cool

The same way he has exposed and disposed of all your Nigerian leaders who are pocketing your resources and allocating the Treasury to themselves? Why are you pulling theories out of a shallow bag to justify your poor thinking?

Well that is pretty easy. The only big compaines in Saudi Arabia is in the oil industry. Turkey on the other hand is much more diverse.

Especially when you piss off so many people at the same time.
Now turkish people may be at the mercy of ISIS bombings since
their friend no longer calls the shots.

Secularism is secularism. Gulen and Gulenists are not secular. They are religious zealots. Research who Gulen is. You evidently don't know.

I'm telling you. I'm reading through this thread and all I can see is "Putin must be happy."
These guys see no farther than their noses by seeing such large military action as equal measure for Erdogan's misfire at the Russian jet.
