Turkey's military just locked down the capital and overthrew the government in two loving hours.

I mean, yeah, I get that but the internet has been around 20 years. At a certain point you can't say "we know more now than we used to"

The Rwanda genocide or the Balkan wars could easily compete with the Syria/Iraq mess (even the siege of Aleppo has something of a parallel in the siege of Sarajevo), and Turkey's last military coup is just about two decades ago. It's just that everybody has a smartphone and access to Twitter/Facebook/Periscope, etc.

We just need Greece to have a coup now to really liven things up a bit. NATO V NATO deathmatch would certainly improve the TV for the weekend.

sure, especially this part

quote:

Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a U.S. public declaration and agreement never to invade Cuba without direct provocation. Secretly, the United States also agreed that it would dismantle all U.S.-built Jupiter MRBMs, which were deployed in Turkey and Italy against the Soviet Union but were not known to the public.

What I was ignorant on is the fact that we put nukes back in Turkey

Just the missiles that could hit Moscow iirc, the ones that could hit targets in the black sea were allowed to stay

I thought the reason this hadn't happened so far was that he was allowed to purge anyone out of the military that was willing or capable of pulling this off?
