Turkey thread: now stuffed with more authoritarianism!

[Polar Svalbard]

When you literally have to mow down crowds of traitors to get your goal, it probably means you're on your way to victory.

When you literally have to mow down crowds of protesting civillians to get your goal, it probably means you're the villains.

Good point.

[The Portland Territory]

Finally, get Erdogan out of here!

[Viuskore]

Erdogan has asked Boris Johnson for asylum, right after Boris wins poem competition calling him a goatfucker... hahahaha

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Erdogan is democratally elected, this coup is not.

Trump and Clinton were Democratically elected
Hitler was Democratically Elected
Putin was
Assad arguably was by your definition
None of these people deserve to be leaders of their countries and deserved to be overthrown(If Trump or Clinton are elected) and replaced with better people or democratic elections.
Hitler seriously should have been couped, and Trump and Clinton.

By your logic the 1936 spanish government overthrowing and civil war by the right wing Franco Fascists was justified...

[Nariterrr]

Finally, get Ergogan out of here!

Get him democratically out of here, a coups is wrong. Would you like it if Trump was couped.

souseiseki tips for people dealing with tanks:

do not:

crowd around the tank
hit the tank
surround the tank with cars and people
park in front of the tank

They seem to deliberately avoiding hitting anyone. I was imagining them barreling over lines of cars. Not one Taxi.

Military Special Forces commander is live on the phone at CNNTurk right now. Claiming those who attempt this coup have failed/will fail. Calls them traitors.

Turkish National Intelligence HQ on fire.

This could be going awry.

maybe they should just democratically run against the guy that was actively subverting democracy

violence is never justified *turns into the human incarnation of liberalism*

How do you democratically remove a dictator?

Sky News:
People moving on one of the blocked bridges in Istanbul (?) using moving travel busses as cover with the sounds of gunshots in the background.

This attempted coup seems more and more like a mess.

That's because it's not even commanded by the head of the military.

[Nikolai the Russian Guy]

"Operation: Remove Kebab is under way, Comrade Obama. Our friend, Mr. Erdogan, will soon no longer be a problem." says Putin, as he hangs up the phone, smiling and laughing menacingly as he watches the news. He pours himself another glass of vodka, "Should not have shot down that jet, Erdo."

Coups are constitutional if an Islamist is in power, but this is not an official coup.

The barrel of the tank seems to be intentionally positioned so as not to smack the protesters in the head, as well.

Considering how much support Trump has and how many people in the US possess weapons, a coup would get very very bloody.

That is sort of the backup plan if Democracy goes wrong.

They always say that, Gaddafi's advisor said they would strike down the traitors until the very end.

[Chestaan]

Sorry, I'll stop complaining that the Armed Forces are shooting innocent people.

perhaps they should go to a safe location instead of marching towards tanks? seems like a safer option.

unless they're going to actively resist the coup, in which case you're not going to like what i'm going to say next

I don't think that excuses soldiers shooting unarmed citizens. Would the protestors have been safer at home? Absolutely. Doesn't mean its all fine and dandy that they're being murdered.

[The Nihilistic view]

If they do what they say I hope it succeeds.

So Anti Clinton or Anti Trump people/military rebels if they were elected would be the bad guys?
You don't understand politics at all. It's not all bloodless and that you can win without hurting a few people.
By your logic we should just all willingly live under democratically elected people who became dictators and hope it works out for the best.
Oh wait, that doesn't work.
The USA revolution had to actually kill some protesters during the American revolution, as did the British. So did the Germans, Soviets, and Japanese in WW2, and the Germans, Russians, Serbians, etc. in WW1.
Were they all the bad guys?

i could not agree with you more

In an unarmed society we must accept that Democracy is but something that exist as a gift from the military.

Isn't the head of the military dead?

I heard he was executed or some crazy shit.
