Radio War Nerd, Episode #43 — Turkey's Failed Coup
Failed Coup In Turkey
The War Nerd's last night in SE Asia, working on new memoir . . . Ergodan's hick Red State populism and Trump's hick populism . . . "there are a lot of haters out there" . . . Jamie Kirchik calls for neocon military coup . . . Cold War's influence on Turkey and its coups . . . This was not a CIA coup, but a culture clash between Erdogan's haters vs entitled secular military elites — and Turkey's Red State haters won . . .

Can anyone tell me what the music at the end of the episode is?
Better (even) than usual. What a nightmare for Turks and Kurds alike.
Thanks. That pretty much sums it up.
That neocon talking about an anti-Trump Coup and Ames says "....almost like he's going to lead it himself". Best War Nerd laugh i can remember :D
Great show as always.
As to why rich people prefer to blame Putin rather than than understand the rage at home, it is simple. Fixing the jobs/quality of life at home costs money. If you can get everyone blaming Putin, it costs nothing.
That's true. I never think enough about money, as is demonstrated by my entire biography.
Great Show, keep it just the way it is.
Have you guys ever gotten into 90's era russia on radio war nerd? That's one of my favorite topics, would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Also, loved the outro music, does anyone have the name of the first one?
I concur
