xineohp Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Capital punishment is not, and never has been, a deterrent to committing any crime. It would seem that Erdogan is fast becoming the President the Turkish people didn't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The way this whole coup played out I wonder if the whole thing was not orchestrated by Erdogan himself as a reason to clean house. It seems the rebels had had airplane in the sights but refused to fire. Strange. Was it an attempted coup or a well staged opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Erdogan now gets the opportunity to execute all his political opposition and say it was the will of the people. Personally I am not big on conspiracy theory's but he will do everything he can to stay in power and create a family dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 His clearing house has now extended to the education sector. As he said the uprising was a gift from god and he's certainly making the best of it. He's aware of his ' important ally ' status with the US and the EU so how far will he push his luck ? Despite all the nonsense within the EU this is not a partner anyone needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksamuiguy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 What a bunch of BS, we use to call this a "PUNCH". fake a coupe and get rid of the competition/opposition. Remind any one of "Night of the long knives" ! Now reinstate the Death Penalty (retroactively of course) , problem solved no more opposition.
