I, personally, find coups to be counterproductive. On the other hand, Erdogan is slowly destroying Turkey from the inside.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

I really doubt any election will be free though; there's a lot of Erdogan supporters. And I believe that, even if the coup succeeded, Erdogan would win again. This time under the lie that the military tried to rob the country of democracy.

Yes because he knows that if Erdogan gets captured, he will spill the guts about all the stuff going on with ISIS, Russia, Syria and the European Migrant Crisis.

Why dont we see you in the Infantry thread anymore by the way
it was more fun when there were more logical people

I don't into lineart anymore (laaaaazzzzyy), and I got less interested in small arms.
It got a bit of a chore and p boring to follow, tbh.


Unacceptable. Come back and love small arms damn you, Im writing a book!
I haven't been putting out much quality content as of late because ive recently started doing more surgery and less research roles

Erdogan's government is the target.

And you do it while he's away so he can't coordinate a response, basically.

Don't need to get the leader to get rid of the government.

Look at Ukraine, iirc Yanukovych managed to escape the Euromaidan revolution and that didn't stop him from getting kicked out. This coup just needs overwhelming support of the people and it'll have a real chance.
