Do you want us to do their funeral here or send the body parts back?

[Bittersteel]

Apparently 30,000 teachers and school employees have been fired.

[Butan]

but he'd have a good claim to be carrying on the will of the newly martyred Erdogan

Haha you speak of "claim" like its a monarchy but Turkey is a democracy m8, the successor will simply be another representative of the media xD keep it real dood

One thing that intrigues me though, is the timing of Wikileaks. Is it the opposite of a conspiracy, and they just need the media attention to be somewhat on Turkey before releasing infos? If so, since when did they have all those files?
What if the coup was really staged by US and Wikileaks is playing its part (willfully or not)? Turkey could have done like nothing happened and remained "friends" officially, but now they retaliate and purge their country of the US-supported whatever and suddenly the western nations remove their blinders and criticize Turkey lack of democracy? Except the possible re-institution of the death penalty (still a thing in some NATO countries and noone is like "HOW CRUEL!") and "taking back their country" from the plotters in that theory, what has Turkey done?

(I'm just presenting another possibility to feed the thread, its not my sacred opinion on the matter, its purposedfully direct, but just food for thoughts  )

It is impossible to dig through all of those leaked mails, but so far I've seen nothing notable among them. Seems like very insignificant correspondences, a few "patriots" offering espionage on their neigbhors and acquaintances, and some archived mails extracted from some anti-government mail groups (aka monitoring reports). Wikileaks is expected to release so many more. I don't think those will be significant either though.

That could completely destabilize the whole region and would probably lead to global war in a few years from now. They can't afford it, just bluffing atm so retard gets to his senses and stop the madness he started since last Friday.

meh he can hang with china and russia,  those two are trying to get away from dollar fixed economics anyway, and would probs be happy to get a country like turkey into their ranks.

Russia having even indirect control of the Bosphorus straits has been a geopolitical goal for hundreds of years. Western "leaders" will just appease like a bunch of fucking Chamberlains, Turkey is turning into an Islamic theocracy before their eyes and the most they can muster is some mealy mouthed condemnation with no teeth.  Why would Sultan Tardogan give them the time of day, they have proven to be cowardly, easily exploited morons who are more than willing to hurt their own "nations" for the benefit of an insane dictator. The bluff is pathetic.

doesn't seem he'd like to stop anytime soon, in fact he is accelerating his madness. what plays in his hands the most is that eu is flooded by socialists and their electorate - people that had to good life that they couldn't take it anymore and started to want everything without effort and for free (on debt). this is the biggest eu problem right now.

anyway pretty scary how a solid country, that negotiated visa cancelling with eu and has 2nd biggest nato army can within 10 years turn into despotism.

we won't see global war - i mean global war with nukes and stuff. but civil wars and detached conflicts, aye definitely possible. if we see a global war, i don't care - i won't see it for longer than a few mins anyways.

There are nukes in Turkey atm, they first need to evacuate NATO base before thinking of kicking Turkey out of NATO. Also I said in few years. There are already conflicts around the whole world, but they aren't connected. Creating even more havoc in middle east could ignite everything. Turkey is not a great country, but would be the strongest yet to fight a war against NATO. Assuming that Erdogan is crazy enough. Now imagine what 'moderate' muslims across Europe could do if you basically attack Turkey on premise of being increasingly Islamic. While Erdogan is doing some crazy things in eyes of westerners, all of that falls under Islamic heritage.
