The military has to know that if they fail, they are dead. They are all in.

CNN has Cemal Hasimi (Senior advisor to Turkish prime minister) on the phone. This caller claims the coup is supported by a minority of the military. Claims that most of the media outlets are under elected government/old control.

Too early to tell if this is Baghdad Bob grade propaganda, or accurate. He knows he is on the air, and if he is woith Erdogen and the imams, he must say this, in order to whip up the public.

There are amazing things to see in Turkey. My BIL maintains his family’s
Home on the Black Sea. It’s beautiful! It was once the headquarters of the Whirling Derevishes, so the house and area have a long colorful history.

It looks like the Pro-Erdogan people are gaining support.

They took to the streets and as I said before, It will be the military’s ability to actually shoot and kill them.

Not just a few of the Erdogan supporters, but thousands at this point.

It won’t look good on TV.

I don’t know if these Military Coup Leaders and their troops are fully prepared to do what will be required for their success.

That tends to turn the public against, so the military forces will be very reluctant to do that.

LOL - CNN remark, "completely unexpected."

Both the Army and Erdogan are Sharia Islamists. Both want a caliphate.

They only have to decapitate the government. They’ll have to fight the national police as well, but there’s no reason to kill unarmed civilians for the coup to be a success. There are many ways to disperse crowds.

It looks like Communists/Left versus Erdrogan, i.e. there’s no real side to pick here.

I’m reading live threads on two sites. It looks as though part of the mil supports Erdoganmaddog, and part is trying the coup. If so, they will fight to the bitter end.

Noting the seriousness of this coup for the USGOV - major internet “reroutings” and TOR circuit interference...something not seen before.
