    Don't worry, Liam is on his way to negotiate a trade deal with them. They can have our....whatever we make, and we can get some dates and Turkish Delight off them.

    I immediately thought you meant Liam Gallagher and then got sad when I realised he would be far less offensive and inept at the job

    That doesn't matter though in a dictatorship. Youve got to question the sanity of the man who would just willingly cut all ties with Russia who made up half of his countries tourism?
    I didn't realise it was that bad there, but the more I read the worse it sounds. Also he seems to have got this man of the people thing going on after the coup, and we all know how that turns out with dictators....
    Absolutely does. Things don't stop happening and meaning things because of tighter central control. In some ways they come to mean more.

    This was/is far scarier. So public, so revolutionary.

    Personally I'd say that political instability is probably going to be worse for the economy, rather than anything specifically to do with religion. Turkey had a projected 4% growth rate before the coup attempt.

    Sounds like they've had a list waiting and ready to go.
