It departed from Dalaman Airport close to Marmaris, where so far the last known location of Erdogan was:

I bet Putin is behind this. Uncle Vlad is probably having Turkey for dinner in retaliation for that Russian jet Erdogan shot down late last year.

I heard from Dobbs just now that the state television is back on the air and that the military is split with 60% against the coup.

I don't know. Things aren't looking as good after the past half hour.

Not necessarily, and I don't think he ever would, he has way too much to risk snitching.

Maybe blackmail is the better term. Clearly he has been more trouble than hes worth lately.

It definitely signifies the end of the Quatari pipeline which is a primary reason ISIS has been attempting to oust Assad.

It would be good, they were mending relations with Russia recently also. Why ? Because it gives Russia a foothold into the west. After all Turkey is the link between east and west.

Of course the odds of this happening or very low, not to mention US Turkey based nukes still there since the cold war.

Yeah, more russian influence is good but you are most likely right.

Doubt that also, Turkey has had a few coups, this is just another one by the military whose sick of Erdogan.

I don't know. Think about what we've seen recently. Brexit, rising nationalism, globalism getting slammed. Nobody was really saying shit until the bodies started piling up. We were on the slow, plodding sad march to singularity.

Saudi Arabia is at the heart of the body count. They know they have us by the balls for a bit longer due to oil but that is waning.

Crazy shit.

That does scare me also, but more than likely its the military wanting Erdogan out. If they succeed it'd be a great thing.

Erdogan is a fucking scumbag.

Agreed fuck that guy.

Its too soon to begin making sense of it all but this is only one part of a very big chessboard that is moving at lighting round pace lately.

The reports I've heard say that he wants to land at Ataturk. Could get hairy.

These things typically have to work quickly. The longer it goes on, the more advantage passes to Erdogan.

So one group of Mohammadens is replacing another group of Mohammadens?

Oh goody. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The jet has slowed right down. He's seriously trying to buy time - if it is him that is.

EDIT: Back up to speed and on approach:

Landing at 500 mph is not advisable.

He was also over the Sea of Marmara about 100km from the airport at that moment. So yes, all in all a terrible idea.

Turkey has historically been secular to the point where they sometimes were seen as persecuting religious muslims. This is b/c they chose to follow the secular nationalist philosophy of the country's founder rather than Islam.

Erdogan, by the way, actually has Islamist leanings.

What a fuckin retard. Probably trying to recreate the tianemen square tank man blocking the tank line by standing there with grocery bags in hand.

The little I know about Turkey and Erdogan, combined with the fact that Obama the fag supports him, is proof that Obama hates freedom, free countries, and loves Muslims.

Aside from that, I'm having a hard time following this mess.

Understood. I'm just beyond over hearing about Mohammadens, regardless of their sect.

Which proves that in certain cases ideology is in fact stronger than biology.
