This is going to end poorly... False flag or not, the coup has given Erdogan an excuse to flush out and exterminate all who oppose him. Anyone want to take bets how long until NATO will revoke Turkey's membership?

> Anyone want to take bets how long until NATO will revoke Turkey's membership? I'll take your bet. It's a trick question because Greece was not expelled from NATO when it was under a military dictatorship, and so I am sure Turkey would not be either.

Neither was Turkey in 1980.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree... This is just a temporary thing for sure. NATO isn't too happy with the outcome of this, so I presume that something is going to come of that.

Like what? They will give lip service to political freedom, but won't kick out their most important member. Erdogan can carry out a holocaust, and NATO would prefer it over seeing him on team Russia.

I don't think jumping to the conclusion that Erdogan could carry out a holocaust and come out unscathed by NATO is a logical assertion. At some point, another nation will intervene, because Turkey is a fairly major portion of infrastructure in the world. I'm not an expert, or even amazing with politics, so I could be completely wrong, but I accept that. (To each their own opinion, right?)

I am flagging down all Turkey related threads these days. I don't see how political debates about the failed coup is a subject to be discussed on HN.

This is relevant for HN as it involves the attempted crackdown on individuals using technology to communicate. Especially when it involves a channel that doesn't go through a government gatekeeper.

Note: users with enough karma (like myself) can click "vouch" on flagged posts. My guess is if enough users do this, that will unkill it (like it did now).
