If Erdogan was on a plane heading to Turkey, the military must been forced to start early for some reason, because one would have expected them to wait for the plane to land first.

Zeroisanumber posted:Oddly enough, same over here. My guess so far is that if Russia takes credit, they didnt do it and were totally blindsided, but if they dont they probably spent the last 6 months or so making certain assurances to certain parts of the Turkish military. Thing is, Erdogan recently did things that Russia liked, such as taking regime change in Syria of the table and apologizing for the shootdown. This of course also shows weakness, and well, in Turkey you can be a mad megalomaniac civil war starting dictator, but you can be a weak mad megalomaniac civil war starting dictator. The conspiracy crowd in Russia is kind of "oh no, Erdogan saw the light and then his CIA handlers pulled the plug", while more official Russia seems to be "Coup in Turkey, news at 11, on balance we should benefit.".

This is pretty close to the mark, actually. I don't think the term "heroes" is too strong a word for the people who organized the removal of Erdogan (I.E. the man who was dismantling the oldest secular republic in the region and was a direct supporter of ISIS). If it succeeds, this is a great day for the Muslim world.

I kinda hope they allow him to land in Germany to then put him in chains and hand him over to Turkey. But considering what a bellend Merkel is, I doubt this will happen.

Will we have our first ever stateless person stuck in a perpetually flying airplane? Maybe the UN will scramble together a budget to supply his plane with mid-air refuelling and food supply so he can keep flying around forever and ever and ever, making angry rants on facetime all the while

Holy poo poo, a few weeks ago I was reading about how corrupt and insane Turkey's leader was, his brand of religious populism and obvious desires to erode democracy and rule of law was infuriating. I thought "hey, doesn't the Turkish military usually step in when the rural religious idiots manage to get too much power and try to destroy the secular republic Ataturk founded?" and bam here we are. Hopefully the military does a good job. The changes to the constitution should involving shifting some of the power balance more towards the cities rather than the over-represented countryside. It feels weird to be cheering for the military coup in any situation, but holy gently caress did Turkey have a poo poo government.
