The euro took a shit after yesterday and behold the future of the EU springs alive in all its glory.

it doesn't concern Europe
a little geography lesson))

Europe

Asia

It does concern the EU. The EU has a treaty with Turkey regarding refugees from Syria and other countries. Turkey keeps them for a big load of money and visa free travel. Visa free travel isn't there yet, won't come i hope. Also Turkey airbases are used to fight IS, is a partner in fighting against IS (and secretly supporting IS). Turkey can open the borders so millions of refugees will come to the EU. The dutch government is on reces (=holiday) but all are called back from holiday they just said. Time to build a new wall?

I don't think Turkey is in Europe

looks like that Erdogan is in government jet -> https://www.flightradar24.com/THY8456/a5a3952

half of istanbul is in europe...a bridge connects the continents...the sultans palace terrace views the border between europe and asia and he had a 1000m2 cake shop just for himself...

It's true...

It shows and that is all rather hmm sounding.

Turkey has always been the gateway to Asia, part Europe, part Asia.

Brazil is a peaceful multicultural utopia if Turkey is in Europe.

A bomb hit the government building, reports of 17 dead police killed by military, a downed helicopter taken out by a jet, blocked bridges, the shit is hitting the fan...obama urged support for erdogan LOL

Whoever the military coup are, they seem to be shooting civilians according to pictures on twitter.

Bet it turns out to be Russian backed after Turkey shot down their jet for violating air space.

BTW, will the USA support the coup , like in Ukraine ... and Egypt ?

Turkey Facts, Turkey Flag -- National Geographic

Straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey tries to be a bridge between West and East. The portion of Turkey's land in Europe may be small (about 5 percent), but the country's largest city, Istanbul, is there. With nearly 13 million people, Istanbul is the third most populous European urban area, after Moscow and Paris.

Turkey is almost more Europe than Holland where only live 16 million people.

With the terrorist attacks, Brazil looks more and more peaceful :)
They might rob tourist, but most violence is between drug dealers and not so many tourist got killed.
Not so much multicultural problems here in Brazil, less tension than in Eruope or on GFY.
Corruption is the biggest problem.

nothing really kicks off in that area without the Germans..

43 civilians dead. Looks more like a terrorist take over this way.
No support from most of Turkish people.
Glad it didn't become a mass slaughter.
Erdogan might get more power now, that is bad.
Sometimes it is better to have a dictator, like Saddam, in some countries.

100 coups

#101 post, i was too late :)

Turkish demonstrations by Turkish people in Holland in several cities.
cameracrew beaten up and reporter saying there is strong sentiment against western media.
In Holland 70% of Turkish people support Erdogan

So, I just watched (on CNN) soldiers in Turkey marching hands in the air surrendering.

RT was wrong as usual.
Turkish President Erdogan declares coup attempt over - CNN.com

I am no fan of Erdoğan by any measure.
But Turkey is a real mess at this point.

Erdoğan's government seems to be moderating some of its positions and is dealing with internal extremists from all sides. What makes you think that a military government would improve the situation?

If you are butt hurt about the Russian aircraft that have been shot down -- the military pulled the trigger.

Erdoğan's government was elected democratically just like Putin's government is. Ironically, both Erdoğan and Putin use military suppression of secessionist political factions. Pot calling the kettle black :2 cents:

I was expecting some vacation pics of Coup in Turkey :(

And so was Hitler elected democratically.... Erdogan is a menace, too bad the coup has failed :2 cents:

I was hoping for another Morsi type coup, but no luck this time, not unless Assad decides to help the Turkish generals .

btw jerkules hit it on the button in his posts here :)

Hitler was elected democratically.
Lenin took Russia in a revolution.
Washington won a revolution and was selected.

So what was your point?
Morsi was selected just like Washington was after a Revolution. I may think Morsi is a POS but the military government in Egypt is only tolerated as a necessary evil. After Nassar's revolt against the King the 'generals' have run Egypt Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak and now Sisi.

And the Muslim Brotherhood and now ISIS is the 'peoples opposition' Extremist Islam (Religion).

Actually it is. A half of Istanbul is located in Europe and another half is in Asia. As far as I know it's the only city which belongs to both continents.

Erdogan is getting back so everything will be in order now

Both were elected because of manipulations - biased media and lack of real competition. For example, I would vote for Navalny, but Navalny was not allowed to participate. When he was allowed to participate in Moscow mayor elections, he's got 27% instead of 1% as it was predicted by the Putin's "analysts". Course Putin has spoiled his shorts because he was scared as fuck with those results (FYI: Navalny is known as the enemy #1 for Putin and his gang).

P.S. Did I vote for Putin? No, I didn't vote at all.

That's what they would show anyway to try to bring to coup against their Western puppet to an end :2 cents:

Erdogan funds terrorists in Syria and shoots down Russian jets in an attempt to spark up WW3, I pray Turkey get rid of him and lock him up

Well, this piece of shit survived

Surprising that you have once again no clue and are on the wrong side of the fence on yet another issue.

Civilized non-primitive Turks who can think, all think Turkey before Erdogan was the future. Erdogan has pulled Turkey back to the stone age in rapid tempo. He is turning Turkey back to an islamic country. While he is changing things the media there is forbidden to be critical, journalist who tell the truth are getting locked up left and right.

Yet you think going back to the stone age where women have to cover their heads again and where there is no freedom of speech, is a good thing.

If you think that's progress, why don't you move to saudi arabia where women who are raped get 100 lashes in public squares. By your standards that's paradise!

"He has shaken up the government, cracked down on dissidents, restricted the news media and renewed conflict with the Kurdish minority."

Now that's democracy Islamic State can thrive in.

exactly.

Well, considering how well Saddam's removal went -- what is a better alternative?

Nixon and Kissinger fucked up big time in Chile

What is the difference between what Erdoğan does to the Kurds and what Putin does in Dagestan? Essentially no difference. Would I support a foreign conspired Coup d'état in either Russia or Turkey -- no.

ISIS has killed hundreds of Turks in the past year in bombings -- what up with that?
