wtf? The "neo cons"?? They are globalists, you have no idea what you're talking about. Bush was a neo-con, and a globalist, as an example. They don't have a problem with the muslim hoards invading Turkey, w/o the desire for Turkey to remain as it has been. This is about the NWO, the muslim invasion, just like in part it was for Brexit. This is the gov that nearly turned the Syrian war into a shooting war between NATO and Russia. You're so hawkish, dude, yet while pointing the finger at others.

You are full of globalization conspiracy theories.

back here in reality -- people like krauthammer have openly advocated for support of the military coup. Bush has a long history of supporting secular dictators. There is no manifest evidense that neo-cons "are fine with the muslim hordes"

that's tinfoil hat. bullshit

I think it is more important to defend democracy rather than to defend secularism at all costs. I say that as an atheist. But its a hard call because of some of the BS the Muslim president of Turkey has pulled.

Egypt taught me you can't let secular dictators sweet talk you like their not "a real dictatorship"

You know that the US isn't a "democracy", right? Bunch of wolves (beautiful wolves [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) sitting down with a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

You see neo-cons under every rock, and haven't absorbed the fact they are big-time globalist nwo peeps, just like Hillary, they make no bones about it. You think there are neo-cons among the conservs in this forum of regulars? ... excluding Blitzers possibly hehe. But they support whatever government that fits the end-agenda. Nothing wrong with a good dictatorship for some countries, but that's not what Turkey is or was about really.

But this is that push-back I've been mentioning in threads, and such events are going to continue.

it depends on your definition of democracy. The definition of democracy and when it is good to use a "minimalist" (narrow) definition vs "inclusive" (expansive) is a giant rabbit hole that we really don't need to get into unless your actually going to argue there isn't a fundamental difference between our government and what the military is doing in Turkey.

Here's the problem: Islam is incompatible with democracy and we're seeing this with Erdogan eroding democratic values during his tenure. He may have been democratically elected, but he's destroying the process and slowly working against the constitution. Allowed to continue, it's only a matter of time until Turkey sees Sharia law replace its secular constitution.

We've seen this kind of process play out time and again in countries whose culture can barely support democracy, mostly in South America.

I'm not sure what this military faction is all about, but there's a chance that whatever they put forward will be less of a dictatorship than Erdogan was.

the very essence of "I'm fucked"

Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs official statement on the coup:

The situation unfolded in Turkey was a coup attempt to overthrow the democratically-elected government.
This attempt was foiled by the Turkish people in unity and solidarity.
Our president and government are in charge.
Turkish armed forces was not involved in the coup attempt in its entirety.
It was conducted by a clique within the armed forces and received a well-deserved response from our nation.
