A US military analyst and a former member of the Turkish Parliament both just stated on Fox News that Erdogan will likely go down a more authoritarian path and that this process will repeat itself and he will go down in flames with the entire military uniting and overthrowing him.

It’s too infested with radicals now, IMHO.
I hope i’m wrong.
I wanted THIS coup to succeed. He is a poison to the US (investing 100 million in that disgusting mosque/cultural center in Maryland)

In other words, this was a preview of what is to come.

No that is not the case as they have had several coups and even Erdogan’s critics did not want to go down that path but will eventually go down that way again.

Yep and I bet Putin will work hard to ensure that it happens like the one he facilitated in Egypt.

21st century coup requirements:
1) Arrest or kill head of state.
2) Control or jam broadcast media.
3) Take down cell service.
To: 4rcane
That’s probably what it was, to test loyalties.

I agree, seems all too convenient with Erdogan on vacation but able to rally the masses via his iPhone. This was a setup to take down the military who has the constitutional authority to remove Islamist dictators like Erdogan.

Skinning alive is one method, and the prison at Sinope is filled with Medieval instruments of persuasion including the Iron Maiden, thumbscrews, ear-cups (for pouring molten lead into ears) - all of which are used on political prisoners as Sinope is a prison province.

Expect Estrogen to consolidate his powers and become the new “strongman” of Anatolia pushing a descent into extreme Islam and eventual total national collapse.

If its true that the coup failed, its going to be truly awful for Turkey and the world. There will be a non benevolent Islamo dictator in control.This is what I was afraid of. The islamo nut is going to be out for revenge, and possilbly a little paranoid after this coup.

I keep hearing rumors and seeing information about him supposedly being a key figure in declaration of the caliphate and the rise of the AntiChrist. Didn't know if it was just conspiracy BS but now I'm starting to wonder. And remember Obama supports him.

An earlier report said that the coup leaders were Islamic extremists.The Turkish military is fiercely secular, considering themselves the torchbearer for Atatürk's revolution. It is Erdoğan, who is basically supporting ISIS, who is increasingly bringing Islamism into Turkey. Sadly, he is doing this with broad popular support.

I wanted THIS coup to succeed. Same here. My belief was reenforced when Obama and Kerry came out against it as I can always trust that they'll be on the wrong side of every issue.
