First a senior officer hands you a note

"Do like me, circle Y/N"

You circle Y, he shows you this video

I have a weird feeling maybe they were putting Erdogan in power rather than removing him.

What never made sense about military coups its what exactly the helicopters are always shooting at?

Random poors is my guess

Most likely the helicopter is shooting at the police/government forces as they're aligned with Erdogan.

Also about loving time Turkey it took you loving long enough

Potshots at poo poo seems like an awful way to contain or achieve effects.

Most coup choppers just never seem to have decisive direction.

Egypt might have bucked the trend with "kill all the civilians" though.

Edit:


Thank gently caress. I was worried he was installing himself permanently. Didn't know how the military thought of him.

It's more than that it's been around, the difference is accessibility now vs then.

This is like the 3rd of 4th coup Turkey has had. It's just a thing their military does to unfuck the government every 20 years or so.
