Turkey has been warned by Germany that it will kill its chances of joining the European Union if it reinstates the death penalty in the wake of a failed military coup.

World leaders have also threatened the country with expulsion from Nato.

More than 6,000 people, mainly military personnel and workers in the interior ministry have been arrested since the coup plotters sent warplanes firing on key government installations and tanks rolling into major cities on Friday night.

But the rebellion wasn't supported by the military's top brass and was quashed by loyal government forces and masses of civilians who took to the streets. At least 294 people were killed and more than 1,400 wounded.

In that case, I hope Erdogan -does- get the death penalty re-enacted... and SOON.

The truth is, the EU should not ever consider Turkey under Erdogan or Turkey under any kind of Islamic bend.

I have been told Turkey at times, has been close to Secular.

The EU really can not consider Turkey because doesn't that mean a lot of leeway to travel between countries? I think so. There might still be obstacles but a lot would need to be ironed out.

Turkey should be thrown out of NATO, and the US should open negotiations with Greece to build an airbase to replace Incirlik (for which generous rent would be paid, thereby also easing the Greek debt crisis), maybe on Crete, and in the meantime another carrier should be moved to the eastern Mediterranean or the Gulf.

The EU is supposed to be borderless among its members.

Turkey in the EU would be a stake in the heart of traditional Europe.

The Turks are to Europe as the Mexicans are to America. They are low wage unskilled, semi-skilled, workers and migrant day laborers. The rich Liberals in Europe want Turks for the same reasons that the ultra-rich in America want Mexicans. They want them so they can exploit them and use them as cheap labor.

As in America and its 'open-borders' with Mexico, the desire to include Turkey in the EU has nothing at all to do with being a 'humanitarian' as the Liberals always claim. It is based on the oldest motive on Earth, money. It is all about making rich people richer. And all the hippy vegans falling for it, are just dupes and puppets of the millionaires whether they know it or not.

Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO, and then their prospective purchases of F35s [they are a "partner"] and other western arms needs to be stopped.

The country is going islamist and Erdogan is using the "coup" as an excuse to further advance his goals.

[kidd]

I do not want the US to be placed in a position where it has to defend an Islamocracy.

Kick Turkey out of NATO or disband NATO altogether.
