That's because he's a sketchy cunt.

We're talking about a man who tears down public monuments to build mosques and says that every Turkish woman has an obligation to have at least three children.

Literally wants Turkey to be more like Saudi Arabia, minus the Arabs.

You know, I decided to do some further reading on Erdogan, and the more and more I learn about him the sketchier and more cuntish he seems.
That's because he's a wannabe-dictator who wants all the power in the country. I've posted plenty of news of him and his government doing mass oppression against the media and people posting insulting to Erdogan stuff on social networks.

They are only playeing a few looped videos on CNN Turk. Are they having trouble finding more videos where protesters seem to have the upper hand?

So, looks like a regiment worth of people tried to take control over two large cities. It was a naive desperate attempt.

Probably they hoped for public support but sadly they either had to few of them or those are to passive.

Pity that they couldn't pull it off.

Erdogan is blaming Gulen, a fellow islamist and leader of a rival clerical network. Probably not true though.

Erdogan has announced that all members of the parallel state of Gulen followers will be eradicated. Prepare for a new Turkish genocide.
I wonder if Erdogan will invade the US though, because that's where Gulen is based.
Nearly 3000 military have been arrested. There's still fighting ongoing throughout the whole country. At least 265 poeple have been killed, about 2000 wounded in the nightly events.

They were probably either tricked into it through controlled opposition or gambling on taking out Erdogan

I spoke with some Dutch Turks today and they say Erdogan won't last. He might have beat down this coup, but a lot of people are fed up with him.

Erdogan should be arrested by the ICC though. For sending unarmed civilians out into the street to fight armed military. Most cowardous of cowardous tactics

Can we not start another dumb ICC meme? It was absurd with Bush and it's absurd with Erdogan. Or anybody. Nobody respects the "authority" of the ICC, and rightfully so. At best it's like a formalized "I told you so" for disposing of deposed figures.

I'm betting on the first; otherwise they would've struck when Erdogan was actually in the country or at least made some attempt to capture or shoot down his flight.

I can say that I am impressed by bravery of Turkish civilians. Going on the streets when that kind of shit is happening is a big thing.

I think I will use this fact in Ukrainian political debates a lot.

FTFY

(not entirely true though, the USA does acknowledge the authority of the ICC, just not for american citizens)

That's, you know, just your opinion, man. Don't force it upon others by asking for censorship
