[Chkalovsk]

Talking to a friend in Ankara at the moment, and apparently;

[02:15:48] V̧҉A̷̛͢C̷C͠I͘Ǹ̷͞A̵̢҉T̴̕I͏O̶̸͟N͜: they couldn't take the heli down

[02:15:52] V̧҉A̷̛͢C̷C͠I͘Ǹ̷͞A̵̢҉T̴̕I͏O̶̸͟N͜: the other one is still alive

Do we need more proof that the US supports ISIS?

Yes.

You must be joking right? CIA funding Al Nusra, Pentagon supporting another terrorist group, Turkey is a known supporter of ISIS and Obama supports them, ok there bud.

Crowd Cheering "Allahu Akbar" outside the CNN Turk offices right now

so aniti coup stop cnn turkey

[Costa Azzurra]

So much for the notion that Turkey is one of the "good" predominantly-Muslim countries, huh?

The plotters are secularists trying to overthrow an Islamist government though...

[Organized States]

Erdogan's saying that the General Secretary and the Chief of the General Staff are missing, meaning they might have been captured or are participants, according to the live-stream.

[Reformed Byzantine Empire]

RIP Pro-Coup supporters.

[Valaran]

Right, I'm off.

Better hope this clear up by morning...

Crowd Cheering "Allahu Akbar" outside the CNN Turk offices right now

Erdogan just said that Turkey is no longer the old Turkey, IST just confirmed

This has been an event of tremendous stupidity. Honestly, this would make more sense if Erdogan organized it to end the parliamentary Republic.

[Xadufell]

I think that the coup is probably going better than what the media is saying.

Not sure why, just a gut feeling.

[Kalifati Arab shqiptar]

Erdogan say's this is not the old Turkey anymore...

It's an even older, traditionalist, and Islamist Turkey!

everything is going to shit

[Balican]

He's already using it as an excuse to create jingoism. "this was carried out by a minority military group who can't stomach the unity of the country..." "This is a reason to clean out the military..." "Turkey is not the old Turkey anymore..." ---Erdogan

It probably is. Usually when a coup happens, media takes a pretty pro-status quo tone whether intentionally or not.

[Olerand]

Nothing we haven't heard before. But the coup really is over, and the plotters should start planning their escape to the Brazilian jungles right about now.

Or, like, Iran

I don't think Iran would risk hosting them. Brazil can at least claim to have lost them.

[Great Feng]

Welp...Welcome new NATO backed Ottoman Empire....
RIP Freedom in Turkey

It's an even older, traditionalist, and Islamist Turkey!

everything is going to shit

And the US elections haven't even started yet!

[Kalifati Arab shqiptar]

RIP Pro-Coup supporters.

Yet your name is the "Reformed Byzantine Empire", smh

[Quokkastan]

Yes.

You must be joking right? CIA funding Al Nusra, Pentagon supporting another terrorist group, Turkey is a known supporter of ISIS and Obama supports them, ok there bud.

Also Putin supports Boris Johnson because his name sounds Russian. I just said it, so it must be true.

[Jarwel]

Does anyone else think this could turn into something bigger?

Not sure why, just a gut feeling.

Gut feelings have known to be very accurate right?

[Pandeeria]

Wait, was the coup actually successful or not? Did the couping forces manage to take control of the government?

[Calimera II]

Oh my. Erdogan will probably get way more authoritarian.

[Valaran]

Or, like, Iran

I don't think Iran would risk hosting them. Brazil can at least claim to have lost them.

Iran might want them as leverage. Also it and Turkey aren't best buds rn.

[Nariterrr]

Wait, was the coup actually successful or not? Did the couping forces manage to take control of the government?

No, it's over.

I have a gut feeling you're right about that.

[Valaran]

probably unlikely now.
