If that plane took off...

 

[Klyka]

That CNN Turk stream sounds like a damn football crowd chanting

 

[Diancecht]

Erdogan is live at Ist.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This is mental. Absolutely something else.

Breaking- Erdogan's jet which landed in Atatürk Airport in Istanbul has taken off again!

 

[skny]

dumbass

 

[Reckheim]

Sounds like screaming on the Turk stream.

there is ton of people chanting something.

 

[elrechazado]

I don't know what's happening there, it seems things are really flipping 180

No, it's that we don't have a clue of what's actually going on, as we are in the fog of war and propaganda is coming from both sides. The "flipping" is just unconfirmed reports being echoed back and forth.

 

[Frozenprince]

...yeah... if that's true.


Yeah.

Yeah this was planned. 100% certain of that now.

This is firebombing the Reichstag's.

 

[Betty]

Nvm I see it now.

... where's the newcasters... or anyone for that matter.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

And just that quickly things have gone off the rails. All the best of luck to the people of Turkey, truly you deserve neither death nor a dictator.

What are the odds we're gonna get reliable casualty numbers when this is all over?

Less than zero

ERDOGAN ON LIVE TV

 

[Liberty4all]

In Turkey? Every time so far oddly enough.

It's not odd. The Turkish military has always safeguarded the constitution of secularism. Unfortunately this time it's starting to look like they acted too late.

 

[commedieu]

What does it mean?

We've got military planes attacking. And he's able to land, and then take off? It makes me question, if it's true, how f16s and helicopters are unable to down his jet.

 

[mreddie]

Is anyone watching the Live Facebook feeds?

 

[Arnie7]

There's nothing to like about erdogan, but as far as I know he was elected in a legit democratic process, so I don't know if I can support this and I don't see this ending well
insane times

yeah about that...

 

[cirrhosis]

This is the absolute craziest shit I have seen since 9/11.

HOLY SHIT.

yeah, can't add much more other than this

shit is mental

 

[jabuseika]

Did Russia have a hand in this?

 

[GameAddict411]

If erdogan gets to the country, a civil war will break out. It seems that the military is killing civilians. That's never good and it WILL BACK FIRE IMMENSELY. I really hope it doesn't turn into another Syria. Turkey is at the door step of Europe and the west. They are also a NATO country with nuclear weapons.

 

[His Majesty]

Is CNN Turk a pro/anti erdogan or neutral channel ?

No idea but Wikipedia suggests pro-Erdogan

CNN Turk was one of the Turkish news channels which were criticized for not covering the 2013–14 protests in Turkey. On June 2, 2013 at 1am, CNN Turk was broadcasting a documentary on penguins while CNN International was showing live coverage of the protests in Turkey.

"[On the afternoon of Friday, May 31, 2013] CNN Turk was broadcasting a food show, featuring the “flavors of Niğde.” Other major Turkish news channels were showing a dance contest and a roundtable on study-abroad programs. It was a classic case of the revolution not being televised. The whole country seemed to be experiencing a cognitive disconnect, with Twitter saying one thing, the government saying another, and the television off on another planet."

In 2014, it showed a documentary on bees as Turkish Kurds undertook major protests about Ankara's refusal to support Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State in Kobanê.

 

[Ahasverus]

Yeah this was planned. 100% certain of that now.

This is firebombing the Reichstag's.

If that plane took off...

Please elaborate?

 

[Lucumo]

Breaking news in the smartphone age is fucking surreal

Yeah, unfortunately.

It's almost 2 a.m. and mosques across Istanbul are relentlessly calling people to the streets to resist and protest the military coup.

Am I reading this wrong or is this a call to have these people mowed down in the streets?

 

[Zackat]

what the hell? When did this start and what sparked it all off? Holy shit.

 

[espher]

We've got military planes attacking. And he's able to land, and then take off? It makes me question, if it's true, how f16s and helicopters are unable to down his jet.

Yup. Unless they don't want to because of the potential reaction and were/are hoping to capture him.

 

[C00kie M0nster]

CNN Turk just tweeted:

CNN TÜRK çalışanları, silah zoruyla binanın dışına çıkartılmaya çalışılıyor...

CNN Turk employees, trying to be taken out of the building at gunpoint...

:redundant:

 

[DirtyManos]

The United States Air Force has a base in Turkey. I wonder how things are playing out over there.

Probably on high alert, though it would be incredibly stupid for any force to even approach them.

An attack would lead to immediate retaliation/annihilation I'd imagine from combined aerial and naval forces in the area who can rapidly respond.

Edit: Edrogan on TV https://www.canlitvizle.io/fox-turkiye

 

[MassiveNights]

The sounds on CNN turk sound like they are coming from a source outside on the streets, not in the builiding.

ERDOGAN ON LIVE TV

What the, where?

Please elaborate?

That'd make me think that it was a trap thing like you said

 

[Wyndstryker]

We've got military planes attacking. And he's able to land, and then take off? It makes me question, if it's true, how f16s and helicopters are unable to down his jet.

Question is do they want to kill him or keep him alive? And is the jet actually carrying ergodan or is a decoy?

 

[SchrodingerC]

CNN Turk just tweeted:

Oh shit, reporters should get out now.

Breaking- Explosions heard near Atatürk Airport in Istanbul while jets flying low.

 

[Lucumo]

Did Russia have a hand in this?

"Turkey shouldn't have messed with Russia."

Doubt it, would have been interesting though.

 

[kirblar]

Am I reading this wrong or is this a call to have these people mowed down in the streets?

You are not wrong.

 

[michaelius]

Could have been a feint to lul Ero into a false sense of security and then return home where they planned to either capture or kill him with little chance of him being able to escape. Smart planning by someone if that's the case.

It's more likely total chaos situation where people in command lost control over situation.

 

[commedieu]

Yup. Unless they don't want to because of the potential reaction and were/are hoping to capture him.

Yet they are killing civillians on the street/bombing capitol... None of this is adding up.

Stream for the Turk CNN, there is speaking but I can't understand..

Edit-There was some speaking over the chants....

 

[Oriel]

fuck the council of mayhem

they need to be stopped at all cost

At all cost?? Jesus, get a grip.

deus vult

disgusting behaviour by these so called spiritual leaders, should be there to protect the people

 

[Qvoth]

erdogan seeking asylum in germany? hahaha
didn't he try to sue a german comedian that made fun of him?

 

[Diancecht]

Erdogan is live and he is ordering his followers to go out and resist.

 

[Frozenprince]

Please elaborate?

The factions aligned with the coup have total air superiority.

If his plane was allowed to land, be attacked, then take off again, it speaks to this being a planned measure by himself and his party to dismantle the constitution and parliament ala the Nazi's bombing the Reichstag.

you need to source this

It might be a play then. Fuck.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Interesting. This thing seems very well thought out.

The EU had intelligence that this was a widespread coup. Guess they were right.

 

[Nokagi]

... where's the newcasters... or anyone for that matter.

They were shut down. By the military I'm guessing.

 

[Onemic]

They're (Erdrogan and apparently some Mosques) telling civilians to go after the military.

Wait WTF? so he's purposely trying to get push civilians into the line of fire?

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

This is one elaborate Reichstag fire if this was truly planned.
