If Erdogan is doing a runner on a plane (and it'll be to Saudi, it's always Saudi), what's the betting an F16 is going to be right up behind that.

Every one of those videos has people cheering for the military. What does that say about your government that people are literally cheering on a coup

When your announcement of being in control is from an iPhone over state TV it lacks a certain sense of authority. It hints at wanting to be mobile, even

There is a cycle to democracies being created and being destroyed. Often violence is part of the destruction process. Our dip in the cycle started with the arab spring and it isn't over yet.

It's a mixed bag. The Turkish military is historically a secularizing force so that's good. They also like exploding Kurds and that's bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He was using that as an excuse to bomb the Kurds. Turkey's "support" has been entirely counter-productive.

Yeah, about that...

Turkey bombed anti-ISIS kurds after pledging to join the U.S., because repeated "Oopses" or something.

And Erdogan is a goatfucker.
