After spending the latter part of the day watching the attempted, and as it
seems, failed, military coup in Turkey, the one question I have yet to see
asked or indirectly answered is why? So I started digging.
According to an article on Vox:
The modern Turkish Republic was founded in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, a
former military officer deeply committed to a form of democratic
nationalism and hardline secularism now called Kemalism.
The Turkish military sees itself as the guardian of Kemalism, and has
overthrown four Turkish governments since 1960 in the name of protecting
Turkey’s democracy from chaos and Islamic influence. Each time afterwards,
the military has returned the country to democracy — though in a degraded
form.
Erdogan is clearly a threat to Turkish democracy and secularism. He leads
the AKP, a moderate Islamist party that has "reformed" Turkish schools
along Islamist lines. He’s cracked down on Turkey’s freedom of the press
and pushed constitutional changes that would consolidate dangerous amounts
of power in the president’s hands.
The military had been shockingly quiet about these developments in recent
years, leading many to believe that Erdogan had successfully cowed them
into submission. But this coup attempt suggests — given the stated
rationale of the coup-launchers — that some in the military are taking up
its traditional role as enforcers of Kemalist orthodoxy.
A statement sent out by the military attempting the coup stated "Turkish
Armed Forces have completely taken over the administration of the country
to reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedom.”
Erdogan has been repeatedly accused of providing support for ISIS in Syria
, while claiming to aid the US and Russia in their fight against ISIS
militants in Syria. Erdogan has also stated previously “The Term ‘Moderate
Islam’ Is Ugly And Offensive; There Is No Moderate Islam; Islam Is Islam”
In a nutshell, Erdogan, has been continually moving Turkey towards a more
“extreme” version of Islam, oppressing the Turkish people’s freedoms and
rights, and supporting terrorism in the name of Islam.
Here is why this matters…
Obama's view was announced in a readout of his call with Secretary of State
John Kerry.
"The president and secretary agreed that all parties in Turkey should
support the democratically-elected government of Turkey, show restraint,
and avoid any violence or bloodshed. The secretary underscored that the
State Department will continue to focus on the safety and security of U.S.
citizens in Turkey," the White House statement said.
Hillary released the following statement via Twitter:

It matters because both Hillary and Obama are casting their support behind
Erdogan and his Islamic extremism, and not the military, who is attempting
to “reset” Turkey’s political government and prevent the country from
falling away from democracy and towards Islamic influence.
Once again Obama is proving that when the political winds shift, he will
stand with Islam.

It seemed like Trump was doing everything he could to signal his lack of enthusiasm about his own pick–he rambled on during the introduction, only occasionally coming back to Pence and his record in Indiana; he said that he had picked him for purposes of party unity, seemingly admitting that he was more or less forced into it; he gently mocked Pence for his weak Cruz endorsement; and he walked off stage as soon as Pence finally came up to the podium and gave him what looked like a pro forma handshake at the end. Every indication is that Trump will do everything he can to forget that Pence is his VP pick after next week.
As for Pence, he gave an utterly standard Republican speech. If the GOP establishment closed its eyes during his speech it could briefly pretend that this is a normal ticket. Pence mustered enthusiasm for Trump and you have to give him credit for a pretty good performance, all things considered.
Overall, it was a fizzle of an event, but it doesn’t really matter–this show is all about Donald Trump and his message, even on this day.
