EU says Turkey can't join union if it introduces death penalty.

Some background on the Nice attacker. It funny how many of those terrorists are people that weren't really religious until they radicalized.

Rofl, the French booed a socialist PM who told them to accept terrorist attacks

The enrichment will not be a quiet one it seems

Well he didn't directly say they need to accept them, he just asked them to be realistic and acknowledge that zero risk of terrorism is unachievable.

also, even before you reach the unachievable 0, the cost of reducing terrorism becomes higher than the terrorist attacks themselves.

edt: not to say that the actual state is the optimum. I am sure much can still be done to reduce risk without excessive cost.

The comments I've seen from the booer were mostly people angry that the whole Promenade had been highly securized for the ceremony, while according to them there wasn't a policemen in sight on the 14th. They're mad at Valls showing up and tying down their security.

Angela Merkel took the time to personally make a telephone call to Erdogan and tell him that reintroduction of the death penalty means an immediate end to the procedure for joining the EU.

I can only imagine how did that talk go and every version I imagine is hilarious.

It's actually kinda sad that all the previous moves towards a dictatorship apparently weren't an end to joining the EU......


But seriously who even wants Turkey in the EU on EITHER side?

Yes, it is fairly common for people to not be something before they become it

You can be religious without being a radical. I mean, the guy was a alcohol-drinking, pork-eating guy that wasn't into religion. The Brussels attackers were avid club-goers. It kind of make sense I guess, if you are already religious, you are less likely to fall for ISIS's version of Islam.

A former Turkish air force commander has confessed to planning last week's attempted military coup.

Spoiler: he doesn't look too good though; enhanced interrogation? (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Looks like it. Man, Turkey is really going off the deep end, isn't it?

You can be religious and eat pork and drink alcohol and without going to the mosque as well. This is basically just his uncle pulling a "No True Scotsman" to distance himself and his faith from the terrorist (not that I hold that against him, it's pretty understandable).
