Add Erdogan to the list:

Assad is an amateur at this compared to Fidel Castro

It's easier to bully cilvilians than people with tanks and fighter jets

Money works. If he wasn't greasing hands for years I would be very surprised, maybe he didn't and this is the result after he cleared house over the years.

[reckless]

Man, if the military fails and Erdogan emerges triumphant...

That is a terrifying thought.

Yeah, seems like the military has been pretty organized though so thats good.

Tell her to go back now. The situation's too volatile. You're putting her in a dangerous situation.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

This could be a good thing for Turkey long-term.

The current President is very popular in Turkey...

 

[Regginator]

(oops double post, something went wrong)

Dont know about the chants, but there are numerous live streams on Periscope happening that show large crowds chanting

Like this large crowd chanting against the coup.

Apparently the majority of the voters were okay with those choices, otherwise we would have seen a protest or whatever on a massive (e.g. millions) scale. Instead we get the army barging in. Did they consult the people? Did they conduct an expansive research about it? Ironically GAF seems to applaud non-democratic means to topple a state of head they don't agree with.

Lmao this dumbass logic " oh shit if you elected someone they should have the right to conpletely destroy democracy if they want! But if someone fights to thrown out a undemocratic leader, thats a complete affront to democracy!"

What the fuck dude. Are you actively trying to get her killed?

 

[Soyongdori]

Redditors in Turkey are saying the coup failed. Someone needs to verify this.

Edit: showing that video of the president was a mistake

 

[wrowa]

what the fuck is wrong with you? tell her to go back

Seriously. Safety should have a higher priority than some "awesome shots".

 

[SolKane]

Damn, this girl arrived in Istanbul just this morning. Hope she's safe.

[Frozenprince]

What's happening now is basically Turkey's 2nd amendment. An uprising via armed counter forces against a perceived tyrannical federal government.

It's ratified in their constitution, this isn't new it's happened 4 times already.

 

[Dierce]

It is starting to look like the coup failed...

Only stream working for me at work too.

 

[Jeels]

Idk man, people are saying only a subset of the military is supporting this and the major opposition parties are not supporting it either...

It would be really shitty to attempt this without enough backing to carry it through. If he gets back in power, him and his Islamic zealots will do everything to turn Turkey into a failed Islamic state.

 

[Blueliner]

HOLY CRAP. Watch this stream right now, People kicking and punching a tank crew trying to take over a tank.

[gutter_trash]

ugh, did the coup fail?

 

[sullyj]

Jesus those F16's are a rocking. Oh boy gunfire on that periscope stream.

 

[Kusagari]

It's sad but the pro-secular viewpoint of the military is likely the minority at this point.

 

[WordsintheWater]

It's hard for me to comment on things occurring with Turkey because Turkey is still illegally occupying my homeland. What I will say though is I truly hope all of this is resolved peacefully and want to add that Erdogan is a piece of shit.

 

[SilentRacoon]

This will be civil war holy shit, what a mess this turned out to be.

 

[Arjen]

Is everything safe in the tourist areas? A friend of mine is on holiday right now.
