it's a mess in turkey. I get that they want democracy...but how valid and democratic an election was the one that put erdogan in office? that office used to be ceremonial...and he's quashed a lot of freedoms.
like most things, it's very complex. and we are more concerned with him staying in power so we can keep doing as we are doing. so, a strong man might have been removed, but would whoever took over allow us to keep using their base for bombing runs?
they say it's secular there--but it seems some don't want that. and then there's some saying the coup was made up. very strange, convoluted.
