Turkey and firewalls, VPNs, sim cards -- looking for local knowledge
This discussion has been closed.

It's not proven, but claimed.
It is not clear where those weapons were headed to.
Anyways, it is irrilevant to topic.
In terms of general security, Turkey is safe.
If you have human rights, internal politics, 15th of July on your agenda, it will definitely not be.
You'll just need your passport to get sim card.
Turkcell is the best operator in terms of coverage and speed.
Most of the censored sites have something to do with local politics.
There isn't any major site censored other than wikipedia (more than enough).
Yea. It's not like the Turkmen that supposedly got them (and the 'aid' it was declared as) said they never did, and there was no deal, same as any other group, and none of them would have any reason (legal or any other, zero) to state that they got Turkish weapons along with EU/US ones... except ISIS and Al-Nusra. Interesting, no?
Aside, it is 100% clearly both illegal and a war declaration to send weapons over the Syrian border without Assad approval, this is not an "if", this is 100% clear in conventions your country or the Osmans signed at one point. A plain and simple declaration of war, Syria would be perfectly fine to attack your troops since then.
This does not change that the others do it as well obviously - only Russia does legal - but the entire things you do are shady as hell, even on this standards. Same as moving the grave (you know exactly who i mean) from Syria to Turkey, again with sending armed troops to another country, a declaration of war.
They (US and EU) spoiled Erdogan, now we have a fully spoiled, feared, law-braking, law-making, illegitimate (cheated on vote counts, cheated on university diploma) dictator.
He is using goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister) playbook, blaming his opponents and refusing everything bad he has done.
EU must be scared of syrian immigrants (shitting pants?) so much, that they haven't even criticised his unlawful actions until he started to intervene Germany elections publicly (by telling Turks in Germany, not to vote these anti-Turkey parties).
He is insane, imagine kim jong un without nuclear weapons, but with a bigger mouth and badder attitude. But unlike Kim, he seems to have sympathy of atleast 30 percent of the population (I doubt north koreans really love their dictator)
TL;DR
Don't you f*cking dare to visit Turkey, let it die peacefully. If anyone can tell when should we expect USA invasion for the name of 'Democracy', I'd appreciate it. I guess, nobody can be worse than Erdogan, perhaps USA can put a governor to Turkey after full-scale invasion.
Btw: Invasion will happen, look at syria, libya, Iraq
Lol, people it's a democratic country, If you have nothing to do about spying, arranging coup attemps, trying to rage oppositions it'd all ok. Go have fun...
This escalated quickly. It's getting really political and I think that it would be in the best interest to close the thread. @ElliotJ @jarland
Eh, an interesting read but yeah... it's gone fairly off topic.
Time to close this one out.
