Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to confront the military after it announced it had take control of the country from the Government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This is the dramatic moment a tank commander is dragged from the turret by angry Turkish protesters after a military coup has left the country in chaos.

Maybe Bath-house Barraq could join him in exile.

[Paladin2]

Maybe the Turk Military could roust Hussein too.

I carry a gun. No drinkie for me. Have a good night.

I hope they find Erdogan and his son strung up like kites from the ‘Pink Palace’ in Ankara.

With Bath-house Barry strung up right next to him.

[Chode]

yup, Beijing redux

[Chode]

100%

I thought the U.S. removed nuclear weapons from Turkey as part of the settlement of the Cuban missile crisis?

[RightGeek]

Give ‘em a whiff of grapeshot as Napoleon once said.

Good. But there’s a lot of kooks who voted that guy in. dont think this is going to be too smooth a transition.

I’d better get that bottle of JD out either way.

Bulleit’s for me, but yeah.

Looks like it is petering out. Seeing Soldiers whom gave up being marched off by the Police. Military not willing to fire on civilians.

The good guys are the ones dumBO is not supporting.

He is probably jerking off to it.

During the Bush Presidency he developed plans to extract nukes from Pakistan should a coup happen. Obama hopes that Iran extracts the Turks nukes.

It’s starting to looks like another Operation Valkerie. Not good for a secular Turkey.

Shouldn't people who don't have tanks...NOT SCREW! with people who do have tanks?

[Iron Munro]

There are several good reasons why tanks are equipped with hatch covers that lock from the inside.

This is one of them.

[Vigilanteman]

I’d tend to agree. A friend of mine from a former life (Turkish veteran) once described Turkey as an army in search of a country. He loved Ataturk and hated Islam.

[Delta 21]

Treadhead ping to that!

I got the patch but I aint got the list.

[MinorityRepublican]

The situation is too fluid right now.

[fella]

By hesitating that tank commander got his ass beat and his tank captured. I notice that Erdoğan left the country and encouraging his minions to fight in the streets and that he will return (if they win).
