Ok people, here is what will presumably pass as ''SJW''

A coup can have two possible outcome. One will reinforce Erdogan.

So far was an attempt. That's all we know.

Would be cool if we could get Constantinople back in Christian hands. But I doubt that's happening.

Oh yeah, becauce the Turkish military is going to hand off Constantinople. SURE

I have family in Turkey and they tell us that everyone hates what Erdogan is doing to the country. Turkey is fiercely nationalistic and they're not going to sit back and resolve a corrupt government "democratically"

Looks like the military has finally gotten sick of Erdogan's shit.

May the spirit of Ataturk be with these soldiers. And I hope your family is ok.

according to NTV ( one of the biggest news channel in Turkey)Turkish Army just said they've taken the control

It appears could be a part of the army that supports the islamic radicalism. That's fricking scary.


Edit from the future: It is a secular coup, move along.

[sarahtasher]

Once again, it does not strike you that a very likely outcome is the coup failing ? (as likely as succeeding)

[Berengil]

It appears could be a part of the army that supports the islamic radicalism. That's fricking scary.

I thought the army was on the secular side. You're saying that that there's elements of it that are MORE religiously radical than Erdogan? FML

Yeah, that's why I immediately deleted my cheerful comment 5 seconds after posting it lol.

Last I heard Turkey was in unrest because of split views in Isis. Makes sense to me, but I know that's not how the world works anymore, sadly. Too much politics for this to happen.

They used to be but the army has become more severe as of late.
