Alright /k/ it looks like the time has come.
Shit is hitting the fan in Turkey.
This is a news report by a reputable Austrian newspaper citing the Turkish prime minister saying that there's currently a violent overthrow happening.
http://diepresse.com/home/politik/aussenpolitik/5051416/
Euronews is also reporting lockdowns and military action in Istanbul.

Will the coup peeps be better or worse than Erdogan?
Also I thought he had kicked out anyone that didnt like him from the armed forces.

>>30633993
Yes and wouldn't be the first time Turkish military has removed a lunatic from the power. They'll likely just revert some of the damage that was done (i.e revoke some controversial laws that Erdogan has pushed through over the past few years) and then call for new elections. The whole process should take about a year tops, assuming of course that US doesn't medle into Turkish internal afairs by supporting Erdogan on this

By friendlier, I mean not starting a shitfest and reopening scars with the Kurds in Turkey.

Pretty sure it's just the largely secular army not liking Erdogan's descent into fanatical islam. It's not the first time they've done it.
Fuck this, Erdogan is shit but he's the legitimate elected leader of Turkey. I hope the coup fails, the army has no right to remove the democratically elected leader chosen by the people.
>>30634172
Whoa, calm down kitten. Military coups are a national tradition in Turkey and they will be back to business as normal soon.
Can Turkey Military rush our nuclear silos and overpower the US defenses? I know it would be impossible for them to launch one without the help of Obama but would be possible for them to steal a nuke?
>>30634192

FUCKING FINALLY!
I was getting sick of Erdogans Face.
Hopefully the turkish army will restore what Kemal Atatürk once started.
If a coup were to happen here, do you think they would take over and shutdown CNN, MSNBC or FOX?
>>30634212
>democratically elected leader chosen by the people.
something something all threats foreign and domestic.
I would bet the military feels that Erdogan is a direct threat to deomocracy in the nation, and they're just doing their duty to protect the country and democracy. At least that's what their PR peeps will start with.
>>30634216
yes
>>30634071
The new government will likely be far more anti-Isis, with Fuck Kurds at least moved down to a lower priority.

>>30634233

Lmao. Unlike Turkey we have a lot more news sources than those shit holes. Plus live streaming just regular people
>>30634237
That's a load of shit and they know it. This is the military telling people that they don't like the leader that they chose so they are taking power instead.
What's the point of voting if the Army is just going to chose who you are allowed to pick anyway.
>>30634132
Depends. They voted Erdogan into power, no doubt they'll happily vote someone like him back in again.
>>30634227
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing
I could be wrong but from that wiki as of 2009 Turkey has 90 nukes.

>>30633965
This
>>30634132
Also this
Erdogan is one of the most freedom hating "presidents" in out time. He blocked Twitter in the Turkish internet, and then he arrested literally everyone who said bad things against him. He even let his corrupt police drag out youths from internet café's and arrested them for "president cursing" or some shit.
He is in the conservative Islam party, and you can imagine what that shit could be.
He supported religious "education" with tons of tax money to manipulate the people. And then he chopped down Atatürk's forest to make a huge ass palace.
While the Turkish people starve and still support this oppressive piece of shit, erdogan was gradually taking total control of Turkey by literally doing what >>30633993 said.
So yeah, thanks for the

Black smoke from blast in Ankara
>>30634215

>ARE YOU EVEN TRYING USA?
So, the apology for downing the Russian jet was most likely a play by Erdogan to get Russia support him. I think he knew that this would happen.
>>30634216
The Turkish army is actually pretty professional and actually smart. There's no way they'd jeopardize NATO or American relations by seizing nuclear weapons for themselves.

>Fuck this, Erdogan is shit but he's the legitimate elected leader of Turkey
Just because they are populary elected, doesn't mean they will not be tyrants. Erdogan was already going down the pth of tyranny, and the army, and the people who aren't sucking Islamic Theocratic dick, were tired of his shit. Not to mention his actions will not only be a threat for US interests in Syria, they're also a huge risk of getting us into an unwanted conflict with foreign regional powers. Disagree all you want, tyrants are not to be elected.

Removing shit presidents is a Turkish military tradition. They've done it like 4 times already and have become frighteningly efficient at it.
Plus they've only ever mobilized when civil disorder started to get out of hand, and considering Erdogan just restarted a goddamn civil war for very little reason...
>>30634215
Let me dream for a little bit.
>>30634212
The military is the final guarantor of secularism in Turkey. It's their system, so coup has slightly different connotations in such a case.
>>30634286
>Unironically wanting to start WW3 with nukes
Fuck you, I'm not letting the Turks nuke Armenia
Leopard 2 tanks are rolling in Instanbul.
>>30634314
You are criticizing Erogan for being a tyrant and yet you are literally okay with the military acting on its own and denying the people their right to pick their own leader? Even if the military is less shit they are actually the definition of a tyrant, they exercise political control without being granted the legitimate authority to do so by the Turkish people.

>>30634334
How are people okay with this? So the rules in Turkey are "democracy is okay as long as you do what the army wants"? That's not democracy m8.
>>30634354
The sandwich hookers are back.
>>30634362
Yea I asked if the military can overpower US forces. I have no idea why people assume I was talking about Turkey having nukes.
>>30634349
If it's like every other Turkish coup they'll hold elections once they get control.
>>30634366
Ataturk set this shit up. It's how they do things.
>>30634377
That doesn't really make it better since apparently people are only allowed to vote for candidates that the Army is okay with. They have elections in China but only communist party approved candidates are allowed to participate, this is basically the same shit.
Ugh and I was hoping to buy a CZ75 TS as well, now what?
>>30634366
It's Kemalism, dude.
Ataturk knew Islam was a threat, and that it should not be in control of government.
Meh, as long as they stay in nato, i could care less.
Bonus points if the new admin keeps splashing russian jets though, shit is halarious.
>>30634366
This isn't black and white. It's not a matter of democracy =good, therefore any elected president = good. Erdogan is religious cock running his country into the ground with Islamist bullshit. To a lot of people it would be preferable if he was removed, democratically elected or not.
>>30634366
Usually because the coups WORK. The military always steps in when the ruling government's popularity is at its lowest and their intervention generally puts a stop to whatever current civil conflicts are going on at the time. And they've generally been pretty good about handing power back to the government after a couple years.
>>30634375
They probably can, but see
>>30634392
>>30634399
I don't really care, if their system is set up so that the army has final say over who the people pick as their leader then it's a shit system. Is a military dictatorship parading as democracy.
>>30634408
Actually it is black and white, if he is shit then he should be removed in an election. Simple as that.
>>30634418
And if the junta restores more freedom to the people?
what's the sky king status currently? we store nukes in Turkey...
>>30634399
Damn
There are some Nations which could really use this
>>30634437
It's gotta be fun to be on the turkey base now.
>>30634388
So you think the army should just stand by if a religious fanatic is ruining the country?
>>30634437
Sky king is a meme.
>>30634418
dictator ships aren't 100% bad, keep in mind this is Turkey not America. Imagine if America was run by the Westboro Baptist church and every decade or so the US military steam rolled and held elections so that fags and women who wore shorts weren't burned alive.
>>30634349
>I don't know Turkish coups the post
There is always another election. And you could give a thanks to the military for saving their own people falling into their demise of an islanic theocratic dictatorship. You'd think there's no such thing as an idiocracy, do you? Changing the Constitution to give yourself more power, censoring and arresting people for disagreeing with the government, and even forcing religion through the public education system, and even starting another war inside your country because you don't like an ethnic group of citizens is not democracy. The military are secular and will remain so, they won't idly wait until a eictator is established, no, they nip it in the bud. I bet ou would support the tyrants if the national guards upholds their constitutional oath and take down a popular elected tyrant without respecting the wishes of the American People. The Turkish military took an oath to their constitution, and they are there to see it preserved, not changed to create a dictatorship.
>>30634436
Ends and means, if they return more freedom to people then great, but that doesn't mean they have the right to dictate to the people who their leader is going to be.
>>306344
depending who you ask.
But yes erdogan has done a lot of damage to turkey. Only the fact that he startet to fingerfuck russia is a big NoNo....
>>30634437
U.S. citizens in #Turkey advised to shelter in place and stay indoors, State Dept. says.
>Trump is pro this

Okay should I be for this coup or against?
>>30634418
It seems to be working okay for them. Compare it to the rest of the shitholes in the region. In an ideal world they'd be an Athenian democracy or some shit, but in an ideal world there wouldn't be this whole Islam nonsense going on.
>>30634435
>elections in a state run by a corrupt tyrant
sure will be a fair and balanced election that will empower the people's choice my dude
>>30634435
When a democratically elected representative does the shit Erdogan has done, damage control is an urgent necessity. It would be foolish to wait and hope to remove him with an election. Plus with a coup you can totally purge the government of all the cancerous shit hurting the country.
Guys, how do you organize a coup without anyone not noticing before its too late?
>>30634462
All of this. Venezuela would be a very different place right now had there been a system like this for them.
>>30634463
Right and not right is opinon.
I would argue that he sucessfully suppressed dissent, and stifled speech to where he was no more a democratically elected figure than saddam was.
>>30634435
Did you forget the time where he started a fucking civil war in his own country the moment it looked like his party was going to be voted out?
>>30634484
This is what the Turkish military does. Hell they probably run drills on it.
How did Erdogan come to power in the first place if he's such a garbage leader?
>>30634313
I wonder if tanks have blinkers

>>30634366
In America you have the supreme court who decides if the elected president is going beyond his remit and acting unconstitutionally, in Turkey that's the army's job.
>>30634477
>>30634493
Well in that case I'd at least wait to see what the reaction was by the people, but so far I would argue that the military has absolutely no legitimate authority to remove civilian leadership that was chosen by the people, even if they are better rulers than Erdogan was.
A reminder that Islamic countries cannot handle democracy.
Islamic countries need dictators otherwise you get the disasters like current Libya, current Iraq, and current Syria.
Take the bleeding heart bullshit back to whatever college you brought it from.
>>30634484
Yea Military leaders are chosen from the smartest people in that nation. Politicians are chosen from how easily they are to corrupt. There is no way Edrogan could have stopped this coup.
>>30634501
Islamic-flavored populist rhetoric.

>>30634499
I'm not saying he isn't shit, I would have been glad to see him go if the military weren't circumventing the democratic process and removing a leader that the Turkish people chose.
TRT1 anchor says TV scripts approved by military who took over newsroom, she just referred to #Erdogan as traitor
>>30634501
He actually started off as a pretty decent guy, but grew increasingly paranoid that his close supporters would overthrow him and eventually fell in with the islamists. He used a lot of legal manipulation and pandering to the uneducated and poor islamists in the countryside to stay in power as the president.
>>30634549
Stream ?
>>30634470
It's solid advice. The biggest danger right now is getting shot by a scared cop while the military is going around disarming people and taking control before anyone can damage infrastructure or do anything foolish.
Second biggest danger would be getting murdered by religious fundamentalist that blame the west for the military taking power from a religious fundamentalist leader.

The Turkish military has, historically speaking, staged coup's against insane religious leaders in order to bring a more secular government.
I hope they succeed, we may have a US ally that isn't an enemy of freedom
>>30634501
Most of Turkey is illiterate steppe dwellers who can't run a country.
The country has always been run by the small, Greek elite on the Mediterranean coast.
The point of the Kemalist system is to keep that elite in power without too much damage to democratic institutions.
>>30634561
How about the rest of the army deciding whether they want to support the coup or not?
>>30634349
>government taking your country in the direction of Islamic extremism
>his foreign policy exposes the people to greater risk of terrorism than has existed for decades

Let's just vote him out guys.
>>30634572
Its too late for us...
>>30634585
This isn't idealism, either you believe people have a right to choose their government or you don't. I don't think it's idealistic to believe that they do, since plenty of countries manage to remove shit leaders democratically.
>>30634570
To be quite honest, in the grand scheme of things, Obama is a fairly decent, if unremarkable President. Worse and more malicious people have sat in the Oval Office.
>>30634618
Just like Venezuela, amirite.
i just watched the announcement on trt by the coup group
they are calling themselves "yurtta sulh konseyi" which means "peace at home council" which comes from the words of atatürk "peace at home, peace at world"
they said that the army has taken control
there will be courts built to judge the akp government and that they were corrupt etc (all the shit you know)
a new constitution will be drafted that does not seek ethnical, secterian differences. a constitution that under kemalist principles
they said that terror operations will continue and gain speed
and there was a curfew until second orders
there was more but i can't recall the exact words, the gist of it is that the kemalist secular army elements have started attacking islamist government and police elements
some police are calling to attack the army, akp people are calling on civilians to attack on the army, there also seems to be some inter-army conflict

It's worked better for Turkey than any other system has worked in any other Middle Eastern country.
Ataturk knew what he was doing.
>>30634638
I'd feel that the people should stop it through the legal means that exist, and only if those have been abolished then I'd okay a coup of some kind.
>>30634607
Everyone in the military that isn't solid on the coup are sitting on their hands and not fighting people that..
1) They work with
2) Are going to win and run the country next week
So.. No, there's no danger to expats from the Turkish military, beyond the obvious danger that they are performing security operations and it's dangerous to get in the way.
The good advice remains: Stay where you are, don't get involved, don't go outside.

No, sometimes a violence must be employed by either the people or the military to ensure the safety of the people and the freedom they enjoy.
>>30634637

>>30634618
Turkey's idea of "democaracy" is a bit different from the West's. Read up on Kemalism and see the HUGE emphasis they put on the government remaining secular. Considering Ataturk was a politican AND a soldier, the army has traditionally seen itself as the guardian of Turkey and Atatturk's ideals, it's only natural they mobilize if they perceive such ideals are under threat.
I'm pretty sure if Ataturk were still alive today, he'd be damn proud of what's going on.

Erdogan's replaced a fair amount of generals with his own loyalists, it's not necessarily a clear cut case of "they don't care and will just sit on their hands" although they hopefully aren't loyal enough to start a civil war.
>>30634685
If they are elected then they aren't a tyrant, by definition. A tyrant is somebody who rules a country without the consent of their people, and only operates through force, which is exactly what the military has done.

Sorry I don't like it when militaries dictate to their people how their government is going to be run.

His loyalist might make things bloody and messy but they are a known factor and the first hour would have had them neutralized. Any that are still alive are at home under guard and sitting this out.
They certainly aren't going to endanger expats. Idiots trying to encourage a popular counter-coup uprising might make a real mess.
>>30634773
Hard to do when the guy in power jails or silences critics, exiles potential rivals and seizes their assets, has the entire judiciary in his pocket, and marginalized a rival political party by RESTARTING A CIVIL WAR THAT'S ALREADY KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
>>30634795
You're just getting baited at this point dude.
>>30634773
Are you actually reading what you're posting, or are you this stupid?
If he's actively arresting people for criticizing him and posting anti-Erdogan articles, you don't think he'll fucking you arrest you for doing any of that? Just because the mechanism exists in theory, doesn't mean it will or can be employed.
Even democratically elected, a person or group that actively suppresses anti-government speech and ensures that free thought is snuffed out is therefore a tyrant or tyrants.
>>30634788
That and the Bannerlord devs.
Please no more delays

Fine, I'll at least wait to see how people react to the coup, if it has the support of the population then I'll be on board.

For shame anon

Nobody's saying this is good. It's better then the alternative, and that's the best you can hope for with any government.

Well in the case of the US, the military pledges its allegiance to the US Constitution, not a single man or a ruling party. If that man or ruling party decides it's going to suppress free thought and place people in jail for it, the military has the moral obligation to stop it, as do the people.
>>30634836
Girl
>>30634827
There's already a video of civillians clapping and cheering for the military doing the coup.
>>30634759
At the point where he started having all political opposition put in literal prison.
>>30634732
Being elected doesn't mean you have the consent of your people. Not only are we talking about illegal voter fraud here but also about things like gerrymandering, winner takes all and other various manipulations of the public on election day. The AKP isn't that different from United Russia, but Turkey is far more alligned to the West than Russia and has a large anti-AKP diaspora.

wew lad, i thought we were talking about Turkey here, not Obama and Shillary
Let's talk about the Turkish military. Given the amount of cities they now control. How many army corps of the military do you think are involved. I suspect at least 4 of them from the 1st and 3rd armies.
>>30634821
Fair enough, I knew Erdogan was an authoritarian shit but if it's as bad as you say it is then I'd probably be okay with it. I wasn't aware just how bad things had gotten there.
>>30634836
Girl, ignore the memes
Reports of clashes between police and military.
You can see videos of the clashes in Turkey at the facebook live map

Video of fighting in Ankara, first building is supposedly the police HQ getting bombed.

Eh it's the Middle East they'd do that shit for anyone. The real point is that this is how their government works. The military is expected to step in when shit starts getting dodgy.
>>30634858
Yeah well you probably should have looked up turkish news from like the last couple years. Cause you got told.

In a weird way it's analogous, yeah. A bit more formal than would be expected here though.

>>30634807
The Military exist to protect the people, not the government, at least in the US.

The same way von Stauffenberg tried to overthrow Hitler and the same way Japanese generals tried to overthrow Hirohito at the end of WW2: Disguise it using a threat against the government. In von Stauffenberg's case it was under Operation Valkyrie (Which was revised got his goals) and for the Japanese it was to cut power to the Imperial Palace during an American air raid.
Say that there is a revolt occurring, place leaders in protective custody, secure transport hubs, and limit communications to prevent the rebels/terrorists from spreading their messages.... meanwhile the whole time it was really you arresting the leaders, securing your power, and preventing forces loyal to those you are overthrowing from acting.
>>30634902
Bad time to go with the hordes of mainlanders, pasty weebs, and 40 degree weather.
>>30634473
Fucking kunt Shillary. of course she will publicly denounce anything that gives merit to the concept of a legitimate people legitimately overthrowing a tyrannical govt.
Meanwhile she fully supports and backs any number of US backed proxy-wars of questionable motive and methods
>>30634600
>That's a load of shit and they know it.
But in the US the military does have the authority to remove the President from power if he tries to act contrary to the constitution, or otherwise overstep his power.
It almost happened with Nixon, and I predict it will happen with Trump.
>>30634763
Please tell me that's a girl, and not a convincing trap.
I don't want to end up like that namefag that jacked off to a trap

>>30634229
On this right now. Its not a lot of good stuff, but rather slow and methodical. As it should be.
So how does a military coup work?
Do you sit at the barracks when the order attack the local police station comes in and you just comply?
Do the pilots get briefings before they lift off? What if someone is not on board?
>>30634807
>All enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC...
>>30634908
they've only existed to protect foreign governments for a while
>>30634212
Bullshit. The Turkish military was designed to be the guarantor of a secular Turkish state. Erdogan has pushing Turkey towards a theocratic tyranny for years and now the bill is due. Thank the heavens for the Turkish officiers who have been brave enough to reassert their role and attempt to reinstate Ataturks vision.
“I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap.”
