A Little Background And Commentary From Daniel Pipes On Erdoğan And The Failed Coup [CBD]
Remember Daniel Pipes? He is the guy who thinks that ISIS will self-destruct from internal pressures within the year. I have my doubts about that, judging from the the pathetic response to its provocations (read: savage murders) in Europe and here at home. If we don't exert significant pressure on them externally, they have the leisure time to fix what ails them internally.
But the guy knows the Arab and Muslim world better than most, so for background information he is a very worthwhile source. Interestingly, he publicly rooted for the success of the coup, unlike the testicle-free leaders of the free world.#Erdoğan stole the most recent election in #Turkey and rules despotically. He deserves to be ousted by a military coup. I hope it succeeds.
— Daniel Pipes (@DanielPipes) July 15, 2016
He makes three points to bolster his argument for deposing a "democratically elected" president of a putative ally (NATO!).
- Erdoğan stole the election.
- Erdoğan rules despotically.
- Military intervention has previously worked in Turkey.
Turkey is the country where military coups d'état have had the most positive effect. In all four of the modern coups (1960, 1971, 1980, 1997), the general staff has shown a disciplined understanding of its role -- to right the ship of state and then get out of its way. Their ruling interludes lasted, respectively, five years, two and a half years, three years, and zero years. Turkey would benefit now from a spell of military readjustment, ending Erdoğan's increasingly rogue rule, even if that meant replacing him with more reasonable Islamist figures from his own party, such as Abdallah Gül or Ali Babacan.Pipes also thinks that Erdoğan will be eventually thrown out. I don't see him overstepping with the West. We are simply too weak and chaotically unfocused on the real fight to do much about him. Russia is another story. Putin knows very well that he can act with impunity, so Turkey must tread lightly, or the Russian bear, old and slow and arthritic as it is, might just decide to snack on some Turkish delights.

Erdogan rules despotically.
Military intervention has previously worked in Turkey.
Wait...has anyone used this list before in a speech or an article?!
Posted by: Tami at July 20, 2016 02:31 PM (Enq6K)
Why?
1) Gul and Erdogan are both Islamists and were allies until around 2013
2) Gul and Erdogan already purged the military years ago and installed their own guys.
3) So, Erdogan wants to get rid of the Gul people...he has a fake coup, or maybe the Gul people made their coup too early (because they were being found out.)
That was his theories. Though he also believed it was a real attempt.
A lot of commenters took at face value Gul's denial, but who knows.
Note: this is just a theory. It could have also been false flag, or even a secular coup that was poorly executed possibly due to timing having to be moved up.

ISIS may implode if it cannot expand. Like any typical Mohammedan Empire, it is merely brigandage on a grand scale. Without a steady supply of loot and slaves it cannot sustain itself because it creates nothing but destruction and death.

For centuries, the Russkies have wanted a warm water port on the Mediterranean. That why the Crimean War was fought and, in my opinion, played a huge role in starting WWI. The Bear is looking lustfully at the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Such a move could well be the spark that ignites WWIII.

Ataturk understood islam and its never-ending push to seize state power, along with any islamic society's eventual acquiescence to that drive. He well knew the only way that an islamic society could have any measure of individual self-rule would be to have a distinctly anti-islamic authority with overriding supreme power.

Anytime a political leader rules in a way that violates the rights of the citizens within his country, he invalidates his own rule, and to the extent that they can do so, the people have the right to remove or ignore him.
This is the gist of the Declaration of Independence, and it is as true for Turks as for us.
The problem of course is that most people don't actual want to be free....they just want a "fair" master...

Shows their lack of understanding of the current mindset in the ranks, which is from what I'm seeing going to vote overwhelmingly for Trump.
They're sick of the PC, sick of being inundated with "you're all rapists" propaganda, sick of seeing their buddies killed because of restrictive ROEs, sick of everything they sacrificed for being given away for political expediency, sick of not having the funds to train and maintain their gear. sick of seeing their comrades neglected by the VA...trust me, the military rank and file may not necessarily like Trump, but they as a bloc won't be voting for the FAB.

No. The new planned city of Bagdad was thriving and science and trade were both increasing.
Then a leader named Muhammad II killed two Mongol diplomats. The Mongols destroyed Bagdad and the entire empire associated with it in 1258, ending the Islamic Golden Age.

of time basically got their loot from being on the East/West trade
routes. The Ottomans started to collapse once the West was able to move
west for trade.
Posted by: WOPR - Nationalist at July 20, 2016 02:37 PM (Ee2nz)
One of the Ottoman's main failures was to develop any useful field artillery. Once the West had that in hand they were able to counter most of the advantage of the Turks' infantry and light cavalry had.
Even up to the Crimean war the Turks would be outranged by the Russian artillery and would complain that the cowardly Russians would not close and fight.
Another failure was to adopt newer ship building styles that gave greater mobility and range on open oceans and rough seas. The older galley was good in the Med and the Red sea, but out of that would not hold up to anything but coasting, and could not mount the greater guns like even similar sized Portuguese caravels could.
One of the things I have taken as dogma is that tools direct the task, but expanding your vision of the task demands new tools. If you fail to change your tools you are crippled to what changes you can make. If you insist that no change can be made in the task, you will never see a reason to invest in newer tools

Europe is a geographical expression. The original purpose of NATO was to combine like-minded countries in a defensive alliance against the Soviet Union, and, although this became obsolete with the USSR's demise, NATO can be repurposed into an alliance against jihad (while still serving as a deterrent to Russia, whose expansionist desires are a concern for several NATO members).

Cruz should endorse him because Scrunt will be a disaster this country may never be able to recover from.
How hard could it be? "I endorse DJT because HRC would be a disaster of epic proportions".

"There Are No Moderates: Dealing with Fundamentalist Islam," The National Interest, Fall 1995.
"Unnoticed by most Westerners, war has been unilaterally declared on Europe and the United States."
He states that the "Islamists" are a 20th century construct. Here I've held a different opinion.
I see the fundamentalists as "historical", "political" Islam. Regarding his prediction about Isis, I hope he is right.

can't inact laws without jumping through ridiculous hoops."
That can't be said too many times. The LBJ-era Voting Rights Act had a sunset clause built into it. It expired in 2006.
That incredible asshat George W. Bush personally insisted on getting the VRA re-authorized, and twisted arms to get it through the Congress, controlled at that time by Republicans, and then made a big splashy show of signing it back into law.
Dubya's theory was that his doing so (as part of his self-described "redefining" of the GOP) would cause black voters to flock to the polls in that fall's midterm elections and vote Republican out of gratitude for his act of _noblesse oblige_ on their behalf.
Well, blacks went in large numbers to the polls in the fall of '06, and they voted their customary straight-ticket Democratic slate, helping produce the epic wipeout of Republican control of both the House and the Senate that year. Welcoming in Speaker of the House Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid.

I don't think it's easy for most people to understand how terrible Trump accusing Cruz Sr. of being a Communist is to a Cuban.
Thousands of Cubans supported the rebellion against the dictator Batista. Most believed Castro's BS about democracy and civil rights. And when Castro's true purposes were known, when he lifted the hammer and sickle, these democratic supporters the first people lined up against the wall.
My mother has cousins who were tortured then shot at El Morro and the Isle of Pines. Her father spent 17 years in filthy conditions before finally dying at La Cabana. Her brother was tortured and spent 7 years in the camps.

That's why it's so disturbing. If it were 2008, that would be one thing. But after the last 8 years, to reach this degree of hysteria ...... is just unfathomable. Apparently these people, notwithstanding their "conservative" profiles, just don't have much idea how bad things are.

It's not just you. When the Austrian Foreign Minister humiliated the Russians by his action that would "amaze the world with our ingratitude", he created the conditions where Russian was not going to endure another humiliation at the hands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When the Austro-Hungarians invaded Serbia despite Russian guarantees of protection to the Serbs, that was it.
Assuming that he can avoid a nuclear war in the process, Putin could establish his legacy by taking European Turkey and enough of the south bank of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus to guarantee safe passage of its warships from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. That would mean taking control of Istanbul, the former Constantinople, a place that has enormous cultural and theological significance to the Russians.
Putin could really burnish his legacy if he also added Greece to the Russian orbit. Seeing as how much of a mess the Greeks have made of their own economic house, that might actually be attractive to the Greeks who riot whenever their government proposes some sort of economic sanity.

I have a couple of thoughts on this.
1. Yes, its politics, and as the saying goes, politics ain't beanbag. Some insults are to just be accepted.
2. I think we are all tired of the "its just politics" where we speak badly of the other side in public, but behind the scenes we are all drinking buddies.
So with that in mind, some insults / lies should be beyond the pale. Jeb would have looked better had he defended his brother from Trump's attacks on him. Those insinuations were beyond the pale to me, and had Jeb treated them that way, he would have looked better.
Further, should be defend politicians just because they have the same letter behind their name?
I don't think Trump is conservative at all, so I will not defend him. Of course, I'm not planning on making a national run in the future, where I may want his supporters votes.
What will Cruz do? I don't know. I'm afraid he will try a middle ground where he antagonizes the Trump camp and the NeverTrump camp rather than taking a stand that would endear him to at least one side. We'll see how he does.
For now, I'll continue to support him even if he does make a light endorsement. He has earned the right to make a few compromises here and there - IMO.

Well in some cases it's political. The "Theory" being that having Nukes on a "Nato" or US Base theorectically under "Dual" control was a way to assure that the Host Country itself would not feel the need to go Nuclear Independently. Of course the Nukes were and are fully under US control, but again "theorectically" they can not be "released" without the permission of the Host Country. And since they are all mostly Air Born Nukes, it seems a tad archaic in today's Military.

Russia still has a lot of untapped resources in their own country to exploit... why would they try to occupy a large unfriendly region?
Putin does want to secure the Near Abroad... a buffer zone between him and the EU... because he does not want a major power sitting directly on his border (which is why they meddle in the Ukraine...).
Add in that Russia has a vested interest in both where the Middle East's new Nat Gas pipeline goes... either Iran, Iraq, to Syrian ports...
Or Saudi, Qatar, Iraq, through Turkey....
and delaying it as long as possible....
And I don't see Putin making any more major moves soon.... unless forced to.

I remember an experiment in a high school science class where we all dipped a toothpick in some liquid substance and tasted it. I could not taste anything but for those that could, there was no hiding their revulsion. Apparently it is some genetic trait where some people can taste that stuff and others cannot and the trait runs in families.
I suspect that there is something similar in lima beans. I find them to be pretty nondescript vegetables but other people have extremely negative reactions to them. I always liked the ham and lima beans C-Rats. I would not trade spaghetti and meatballs for them but I did not mind swapping most other meals with people who could not stand them.
