Waiting for Donald Trump to make a statement. I really want to know how bluster would solve this one.

It seems too late to solve anything besides the coup in action

Turkey is an important, if difficult, ally. There will undoubtedly be a response. The US has three effective presidents at the moment, two hypothetical and one actual. I suspect that the actual president will wait and see, and then issue a measured response that reflects the importance of getting this right. Clinton will have a competent, reasonable response, probably in line with Obama's. Who knows what Trump will say? Maybe Turkey should ban Muslims. Or build a wall.

I would encourage everyone to listen carefully and ask what may be.

The people are coming out in the streets, defying the military orders of martial law. Could it be a Civil War?

The Trump-Derangement lemmings had to drag Trump into the thread.

Well, anything Trump does will be a billion times better then the lying Kenyan Islamo-Fascist sympathizer Obama.

This is how they do it in Turkey. When the Government becomes too Muslim they replace it. Happens every 10 years or so: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2012/04/20124472814687973.html

The fact that they are a longtime member of NATO makes the whole thing unsettling, what with Putin's proclivity to monkey around down in that area.

Why do you not want to hear about how Obama will solve it? Barrack Hussein Obama is the President.

Do you really think you have fooled people? The quality at TOL in liberals is just int he toilet.

Gotta say I had a Turkey in turmoil last Christmas...had a few too many libations and over-roasted the poor long-suffering bird...:sigh:

The question is, what kind of regime is taking over?
