BREAKING: Military coup in Turkey in progress! Tanks on the street, police disarmed.

Well best of luck to the chap if he's really seeking asylum in England. Optimism has a new poster-boy.

For such a loud mouth, he certainly conceded fast...

These reports seem to be inaccurate. In the last hour I heard the same thing for Germany, Britain, Kuwait and even him being escorted by Iranian fighters to Tehran ... Meanwhile he said he will be on the streets alongside people...
We shall just wait and see.

1) I'm really curious what will NATO do about this crisis.
2) And I'm really damn worried that ISIS might take advantage of this.

I doubt ISIS has the time to take advantage of this, they are being pushed back atm so this is not something they would focus on.

Once again, it's true that the good old ''coup the elected leader and replace him with a general'' worked so well for the USA in the long run, isn'it ?

Well I am surprised it took 35 pages for some far leftist to blame USA. I expected it much sooner.

The best part of this is Germany denying him asylum.

So if he is in a plane right now, and nobody allows him to land, where does he go? You only have so much fuel.

[Zoranon]

It's you who's the notorious liar on this forum, your entire post history serves as evidence. Try some more of your bullshit and you'll have a lawsuit for slander on your hands.

Hahahahaha you mad bro? I see you are delusional as well.

Nato will sit out of it as to not alienate the one who stays in control, for turkey this is very much an internal matter.

Crash it into the Mediterranean Sea. Would be nice irony if a Su-24 came by and shot it out of the sky though.

Being allowed to land to refuel is very different than granting asylum.

What is worrying is that this is not just a coup attempt, but also seems to spiral down into violence between secularists and more strict believers.

Nothing more dangerous that religious zealots who see this coup as infidels trying to ruin their country by turning it into a decadent, godless state.
The worse part is that quite a lot of them think that way.

Germany denied him, so he has to try elsewhere, people now saying England.

[Notter]

It's been reported that attack helicopters have fired upon the central intelligence agency in Ankara.
and also that 2 loud explosions have been heard at the center of the cities.

He might be allowed to land and refuel but not have asylum.

I wonder who he'll try next now that the UK said no.

[Ayla]

Crash it into the Mediterranean Sea.

See, my fear there is he crashes it somewhere he was denied asylum a final act of retribution

It's far lefist to point out this scheme usually backfire ?

And for the champion of violent solution, if the army take power, it will be much easier for everyone if Erdogan is granted asylum somewhere-''he fled cowardly the country'' sounds much better than ''he had a heart attack in detention''

And don't say it's claptrap, compare the demise of Charles I to the James II situation.

[Independent voter]

He can come to the US as long as he behaves himself. Not like we don't have a bunch of crazy religious wackos already, he'll fit right in.

Maybe Venezuela, he would fit right in there.

[Sentynel]

If it's the islamics, prepare for a NATO intervention to stop the situation.

Nope. NATO only intervenes on foreign threats. This coup is considered as domestic therefore NATO won't do shit.

[lonely zergling]

The coupists failed hard, they will only make erdogan stronger. gg.
