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

[Barnabas]

Only being popular with white males isn't going to get him elected. Common sense and easy math. His fault for not appealing to minorities and making racist statements.

He's popular with more than white males. He's just as popular as clinton.

[Berengil]

Well that's too bad. Kemalism was a noble thought, but few such high-minded concepts survive when religious fanatics are in charge.

Terrible method, but seeing as dictator erdogan has fully controlled flow of information (social media, news agencies, newspapers) .. jails critics and pushes for more religion (because hes very much islamofascist).. turkey is very close to being a dictatorship... two bad choices.. I'm hoping the coup will succeed, for the good of turkey.

Why would it be armyless because a rogue faction within the army performed a failed coup? You really think the full Turkish army would only have achieved what these idiots achieved tonight?



That was never confirmed, people are just doing that to give Erdogan a bad rep (more so than he already has).

I imagine the rogue elements will be removed and others promoted.

[Slant]

Considering that his plane is flying in circles above Turkey right now...

So weird... the internet gives us closer looks on events than anything before. Think about living 100 years ago.

He's heading to Istanbul now, isn't he?

Disturbing to see a plane with N/A as destination.

That seems very, VERY unlikely.

Reality isn't tennisball's strong point.

Erdogan is going to go Ottoman on their asses if they fail.

[Acidz]

isis will most likely take advantage of this.

im literally scared.

Why? IS is getting their ass handed in both and Syria and Iraq currently. Do you really think they will be able to march upon Turkey now?

[Ulmita]

It's over. Coup has failed, the piece of shit Erdogan is still in power and now things are going to get even worse.

In what way?

Also, like him or not (i kinda despise him) coups are NOT the way to do things.

[Gamevizier]

ergodan will go hitler mode.
isis will most likely take advantage of this.

im literally scared.

my thoughts exactly, anyone who opposed this coup because of the nature of a military takeover and how it is "undemocratic" to remove Erdogan will be shocked by the amount of executions, disappearances (granted this is a failed attempt) thats going to be carried out by Erdogan's party and how such leader's are going to use mass paranoia and fear to give themselves more power.

I take it you've never read one of his threads before. :P

Look at his Started threads list.

[Raetary]

Or maybe he learns from this and becomes a bit less authoritative.

lol
we definitely dont talk about the same person if you think that this idiot will learn something from this.
he's a power hungry piece of shit, he will unleash hell in the country.

[Kalador]

Or maybe he learns from this and becomes a bit less authoritative.

Trolololol... your talking about someone obsessed by rebuilding Ottoman empire.... someone who build a giant palace for him and is empire...

[Kuntantee]

Erdogan is going to go Ottoman on their asses if they fail.

Now this time, the Chief Staff would conduct a coup, meaning a guaranteed success. This was conducted my a very small group it seems.

What if your leader is changing the constitution to be set for life as a leader?

Not that I support the current government (I don't), but executions and disappearances are very common after a military coup in a divided country. So, yeah, not much of a change.
