Topic: Because Europe wasn't unstable enough...

Military coup in Turkey ongoing.  The military has blocked access to the Asia-side of the country, sent tanks and low-flying jets into the capital, and issued martial law.  The president declares he is still president, and has called for the people to resist.

i approve

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

So we might  get the answer to the age old question...

If Turkey gets attacked from the rear, would Greece (grease) help?

Seems like the coup is falling apart.

Ummm Turkey isnt a part of Europe and isnt expected to be any time in my life time

Due to a virulent strain of moronic mods, your population are worried they will spawn some of their own therefore they have resorted to wearing mod-idoms. Pop growth is reduced by half.

@suicidal sushi
Only part of Turkey is in Europe geographically but they are hugely important to European countries in many ways.

Re: Because Europe wasn't unstable enough...

Wont debate the importance, but other than being part of the EEC etc, Turkey is not a full member of europe and isnt expected to be for in some quotes 30-40 years

True, but it influences Europe a lot if Turkey goes berserk. So zarfs point still stand.
