Why would we back Erdogan in all of this? He's been an irredeemable asshole to every single other country. USA, Russia, all neighbors, Europe as a whole, defys his country's greatest attribute of secularism, tries to become autocrat by appealing to retards.
I don't understand pol can't someone who really deserves it get their just desserts? Just once?
>>81266941
Because you need Turkey to house your jets and nukes.
>>81266941
BECAUSE JOHN KERRY IS A FUCKING NIGGER THAT NEEDS TO GO THE SAME WAY AS CLINTON
OBAMA WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HIRE THE TWO PEOPLE WHO RAN AGAINST YOU IN 2008 YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING NIGGER WHAT THE FUCK JOHN KERRY LOST THE ELECTION IN 2004 YOURE SUCH A KUCK I FUCKING HATE CAREER POLITICIANS FUCK YOU FIRE KERRY AND DONT REHIRE A CAREER POLITICIAN GOD DAMINT AND GO DRONE STRIKE ERGODAN AND ASSAD WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU COOOOOOMMMIIIIEEEE MUUUUUSSS.LLLLIIIIIM
>>81266941
/pol/ cucks are now supporting him and his ALLAHU AKBAR screaming supporters because they're all manlet slav worshippers and Erdogan was starting to get friendly with Russia, ISRAEL, and Syria in the past week
Because leftists hate the West and have dreamt of destroying it forever. They backed any death-soaked dictator of the world as long as the was anti-Western.
Regional stability. If Turkey's government is overthrown, that will have major consequences for Russian affairs, the EU, the Syrian Civil War, and would basically toss the entire world into chaos
>>81266941
Because the majority of turks are the same trash as the rest of muslims. Only like 30% of them are ok
>>81268261
Good.
Increase in chaos and uncertainty increases republican voters.
>>81267068
What about the Coup's big thing about maintaining international agreements?
>>81266941
Because he's still much better than the islamists/ISIS etc. that would take over and keep fighting forever if Erdogan was overthrown.
>news keeps pointing out that Erdogan was democratically elected.
>>81268870
>implying the US wants to deal with people they don't already have in their back pocket
It goes against US foreign policy to just ignore Turkey.
>>81267068
That and Erdogan is anti-Russia.
>>81267068
>NATO is a largely military alliance
>Expecting the fucking military of Turkey to reneg on NATO
>Not expecting them to double down on that shit
Dumbass leaf
>>81269536
>middle eastern democracy
>implying it isn't all rigged
>implying even if it isn't the leader isn't elected by a population of 99% illiterate goatfuckers
democracy only works if your population isn't shit
Perhaps the governments knew the military coup was, in fact, a small faction and they were likely to fail, which appears to be what has happened.
>>81269283
No. It's a coup, not a mass uprising. Note Egypt is more stable now following the coup than it was under Morsi, and they even went to the effort of bombing the shit out of ISIS pockets in Libya a year ago.
>>81269536
Uh huh. So was Morsi.
>>81270186
>reneg on NATO
> the secular military wouldn't be more apt for NATO than a soon to be Islamic theocracy
They're not worried about the military "reneging" on NATO because they wouldn't do that, they're worried about keeping their pre-established ties to the Erdogan government.
>>81270685
including all the corrupt shit they were probably involved in.
the military is probably a more stable ally in the long run. hopefully they succeed.
>>81266941
We don't back Erdogan
It's clear the coup might fail so USA released some statement.
It's not something we can fight in.
>>81267068
And we'd have an even easier time doing that by dealing with someone who isn't a rabid islamist and who doesn't throw diplomacy out in favor of threats.
Because the CIA knows the "coup" was a false flag staged by Erdogan. It seems sloppily done, and there's a lot of civilian casualties.
>>81266941
Every time we try to back these coups it backfires and results in funding terrorism or hostile dictators.
If Turkey falls
Turkey will be like Iraq and Europe will have more refugees
you retards know nothing about real world politics
>>81270811
Kek, no you would not.
There's a reason the West is backing the rabid islamist, because he's OUR rabid islamist.
>>81270995
ah yes, the old "pet islamist" that always works out so well like all of those other times it hasn't catastrophically backfired over the past six decades
like... uh..
>>81269283
Provably not true though, military has restored order, democracy, and handed power back to a secular government like 5 times in Turkey's past.
Coups don't always mean extended chaos.
>>81270992
Turkey goes through this shit every 10 years. It doesn't "fall", power is just usurped.
It happened in 2007 without the military being involved and the military took over in 1997. Are you people just not old enough to remember this?
>>81270995
No, we're backing him because our shitty globalist leaders want the instability Erdogan causes.
>>81266941
Muh NATO
