Why this thread isnt dead yet? Why do you guys support this vile dictator? It would be funny to watch how you acted if your government bombed you with barrelbombs with chem reagent

If only Vlad would barrelbomb you.
Jeremiah Foster
What town did the government forces retake northwest of Homs city?
And as much as you government supporters might not like to admit this, Syria will be in conflict for a long time. It doesn't matter who controls this or captures that. The country will balkanize into little autonomous zones, and Islamists/"rebels" will still conduct attacks.
Guys watch out the lone wolves of ISIS will blow us, throw us, intoxicate us, and scream us! >seriously who the fuck in ISIS is in charge of translations

Jumu'ah or jum`ah (Arabic: صلاة الجمعة , ṣalāt al-jum`ah, "Friday prayer"; Persian: نماز جمعه, Namaz Jumah; Turkish: Cuma Namazı, Juma Namazi), is a congregational prayer (ṣalāt) that Muslims hold every Friday, just after noon instead of the Zuhr prayer. Muslims pray ordinarily five times each day according to the sun's sky path regardless of time zones.[1]

They had the air force in their hands yet they didn't shot down the Erdogan plane. Many of the soldiers said they believed it was some kind of exercise. Only the airforce pilots used their guns againts the islamist mobs, soldiers didn't even moved, just surrender No soldiers storming the Turkish parlament
I don't know but for me, this shit was staged.

I don't know m8, I don't think a high ranking officer planning a coup would just do it with so low number of soldiers, you just don't launch a fuckin' coup with only 1000 soldiers in the capital...

the talk is that those are just some conscripts that were sent to the bridge and told that they are going to fight pkk according to some pictures at least 5 were killed by the crowd. at least 1 beheaded, 1 thrown off the bridge.
Leo Wilson
>Gulen is related to the clinton foundation? Yes! Check this article published a day before the coup
Camden Ortiz
its not that hard really They all new the upper ranks were being replaced. Figure you'd be next without that retirement check. a lot of mid ranked officers we involved. they were more worried about their benefits rather than the country and thats why they caved so easy.
Landon Garcia
>They had the air force in their hands yet they didn't shot down the Erdogan plane. They didn't have the air defense forces in their hand nor the special forces and actually only had commanders local to Istanbul and Ankara.
There's word that they intended to arrest Erdogan the moment he landed in Istanbul, which is why they escorted him. To their surprise his call for people to take to the street worked and he managed to wrestle control of the airport long enough to land and give a public speech.
>Many of the soldiers said they believed it was some kind of exercise.
Pro-tip: You don't order soldiers to enforce a coup, you give them a reason to move into a position and guard things before revealing the real reason.
>Only the airforce pilots used their guns againts the islamist mobs, soldiers didn't even moved, just surrender
Are you serious? Did you not see the tanks crushing people? And they didn't have many shells with them, it was a sudden deployment and no logistics or medical personnel were involved. It was meant to be bloodless.
>No soldiers storming the Turkish parlament
They had it surrounded but you can't expect soldiers to attack such a facility. Think about it, only the top rank knew there was a coup and the government wasn't unpopular enough for the soldiers to carry out the orders.
Many soldiers in Ankara refused their orders.
>I don't know but for me, this shit was staged.
You would be surprised how difficult or easy a coup can be staged depending on the conditions.
In this case the conditions were not ideal, seemed very rushed.
Nolan Adams
Incirlik is back up and open to foreign forces stationed there.
Turkey is not switching sides to Russia. mainly because NATO is stronger than Russia as a defensive alliance. Greece is also part of NATO and Turkey leaving means that Greece can start arguing over shit like Cyprus from a much stronger position.
No, what is happening is that Turkey is normalizing relations with Russia because it realized that Russia was right. Terrorist enemies of my enemy are still terrorists. The attack on the Istanbul airport was orchestrated by a Chechen terrorist wanted by Russia since the 90s, but NATO and Turkey especially protected him. When the redpill is a flaming suppository going down your ass and blowing up in your colon, you fucking take notice.

William Jackson
Alright let me tell you why this stinks more of a self-coup than an actual one.
1: Turkish jets were escorting Erdogan's plane for 2 hours. They had ample opportunity to shoot him down and weaken government resistance immensely. They did not do this.
2. They only took out one TV channel and then waited around for Erdogan to broadcast his message to call the people to the streets on a different station. Only hours later do they go after that TV channel, but also ignore every other one in the process. It's fucking invasion and coup 101 to take out the means of communication COMPLETELY.
3. The vast majority of soldiers did not fire on civilians or police that resisted them and were disarmed without issue. Yes a few of them did fire and shoot. That was a breaking of discipline, it was to be expected and is actually counted on in a self-coup. As the deaths give it extra credibility.
4. The first thing Erdogan does after the coup failed. Completely replace the entire judicial branch of government. The only branch of government that stands in his way of constitutional reform.
5. There has been no calls for the pro-Erdogan mobs to return to the streets or stop directing violence towards opposition parties or Kurdish people. Days of rage will be allowed to weaken the opposition to Erdogan rule.
That shit that went down in Turkey just wasn't cricket ausfag.

So are you pro-Turkey or anti. because you seem to be in flux with this
Flights are grounded for the moment but shit is fine with US and NATO forces there. Turks on base just had to GTFO or get BTFO.
The Muslim Brotherhood aren't terrorists in the eyes of Turkey. While ISIS are. But they were in bed with ISIS because it benefited them as ISIS was the enemy of Turkey's enemy. That has changed now. Turkey realized that mistake. They are not going to let these people into Turkey anymore.
Gavin Price
I am fucking anti-Turkey. But I aint gonna lie and shill about what is going on. Turkey is normalizing relations with Russia. That is it. They are not going to be allies. They are not dropping NATO. They might normalize shit with Syria. As Turkey is fucking sick of ISIS fucking shit up within the Turkish borders and seeing them get assraped by Kurds constantly.
Turkey's interest are entirely what is best for Turkey. And right now they realize that "Oh shit. ISIS is losing to the Kurds and fucking bombing us because they are edgy. Fuck em!"
Isaac Butler

Bentley Cox
No update on whether or not power or water are back up indeed. But all US personnel are accounted for. Basically the Turks said "Nobody but Turkey flies in Turkey". Which makes sense following a coup. Even a self-coup. The cut utilities are worrying, but Turkey is not dumb enough to activate Article 5 against itself. Russia will not come to their defence against the US and all of NATO.
It makes no logical sense.
Matthew Allen

>Do you feel it's over? The coup? For the most part. There are some hold outs here and there. But any and all strong opposition to Erdogan is effectively dead for the time being. It will take another decade for people he has appointed to start seeing what he really stands for and questioning their loyalty. That is, as long as there are no strong outside influences trying to shape events internally for Turkey.
One thing is definitely certain. You really do not want to be a Kurd in Turkey for the time being. Mobs attacking Kurdish shops and political parties if not stopped by the government soon, are going to start lynching people.
Ignore the shill. You will not convince him. He will not provide solid arguments. He is trying to distract and derail you from the true issue. Do not take the bait.

Could Erdogan gamble on exchanging Gulen for reactivating power to the airbase or trying to evict the US presence? He had met with Putin very recently and he knows the US needs to have a base in Turkey to counter Russia and have operations in the middle east.
Also what do you think of a Turkey/Russia alliance? You think Erdogan would want to leave NATO? There's also talk of people in the government saying the US is behind coup, is that just propaganda right now or do people actually believe it?
Christian Davis
>Could Erdogan gamble on exchanging Gulen for reactivating power to the airbase or trying to evict the US presence?
Nope. That is pretty much going to make NATO distrust Turkey for as long as Erdogan is in power. They will try to get Gulen through other means. The main point more is that Gulen and his supporters have been named persona non-Grata now. Getting Gulen is a bonus but not a major objective. So no sense antagonizing allies.
>Also what do you think of a Turkey/Russia alliance? You think Erdogan would want to leave NATO? Like I said, not gonna happen. NATO is stronger and leaving it weakens Turkey in important areas like Cyprus and Kurdistan.
>There's also talk of people in the government saying the US is behind coup, is that just propaganda right now or do people actually believe it? Just politicians naming names without any actual knowledge.
