    ... It seems that Turkey has a little bit of a problem going on right now. Helicopters shooting at the National Intelligence Service and whatnot. Yeah, I guess the shoutings of people about a military coup are true. ... ... ... ... ... *various swearwords* ... If I were a betting man I'd bet that Daesh would take this opportunity to do something really stupid over there

      @critialcloudkicker The military is claiming they want to restore democracy and secularism to Turkey. If they can overthrow Erdogan with minimal loss of life this is good.

        @rarity Is it ? I mean, yeah I would love to get rid of Erdogan with minimal loss of life, but the relationships with neighbouring countries would suffer way less. And with Daesh on the border.

      @critialcloudkicker I don't know of all of the details, but I can't say I would be surprised by a coup d'etat against Erdogan, a budding Islamist despot.

        @m14brony The funny thing is, me neither. Though you do sort of make him out worse than he probably really is by calling him an Islamist despot.
