So only a small part of the military and the air force support this? This is going to get ugly.

if that's true the military should do all it can before it possibly ends.
This is why, specifically, you don't piss all over diplomatic protocol and lodge formal efforts to get foreign pundits jailed for making parody videos, specifically.
A coup isn't the right way to go about this, but it is interesting to see Erdogan realize that the only reason anyone outside of Turkey liked him was because they had to.

My wife's parents would have been in Turkey right now if not for the airport attack that happened.
Turkey has coups every 20 odd years, so not that surprising. Generally it is military organizing a coup for secular government.

They said on Twitter they'd start at midnight after getting torn apart for not covering Turkey live. I guess they're taking their time.

Not in the cities, but the rural population stays behind Erdogan.

Even that wouldn't be reliable because people would just say they approve of Edrogan due to fear of being arrested.
holy shit, the little mini mic
It looks like they're interviewing a tiny man in a box.

yeah right..
Given that this tweet is from a nobody and given that Al'Jazeera is showing Erdogan clearly not being in a plane, is the entire asylum-in-Germany substory probably bullshit?

It seems the coup will fail, which would be a terrible outcome.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Friend of mine from college (who is Turkish) flew home a few days ago, she's right in the thick of it and posting some insane Facebook updates. I've encouraged her to go out and get some photos, hopefully she nails some awesome shots.
What gives you that impression?

From what source comes this information?

I think it was extremely naive of people to think this will end quickly and peacefully. People are going to get hurt and if the coup fails than it will only embolden Erdogan even more.
... Which is absolutely the right thing to do. This is a developing situation and nobody seems to know what's going on. Spreading false or unconfirmed information doesn't help anyone.

This could be a good thing for Turkey long-term.
Hopefully she stays safe from your shitty advice.
I think she'd be better off just staying low right now.
