Turkish airlines tweeted to rise up and resist coup
You are not alone. Those courageous men will pay dearly for this attempt to restore their constitution. I am very very sad.
“and has its US HQ in Chicago.”
You mean the adoptive hometown of the Obamatollah...THAT Chicago?! HOW CONVENIENT!!!! /s;)
Most likely it was a setup designed to flush out the seditious military leaders.
They were standing in the way of his ongoing power grab.
Well good on them for a great attempt..
All theater? Possibly. Interesting he was out of the country.
sad... I hoped they had a chance.
He was on vacation in Marmaris, on the Mediterranean coast. The plotters neglected to send a detachment to grab him (he claims his hotel was bombed after he left). So, he hopped onto his Gulfstream and flew to Istanbul, where he was greeted by a crowd of supporters and gave a speech on TV.
His flight path reveals apparent indecision over the south coast of the Sea of Marmara prior to descending and making the approach into Ataturk Airport. Perhaps they needed to wait for his supporters to move some tanks parked on the runways.
Bkmrk.
In country but on vacation. The vacation might be relevant to the timing.
The July 20, 1944 coup against Hitler was doomed once Hitler got on the radio and began talking. I suspect the same will happen here.
Coup rule #1: Control the dictator.
Coup rule #2: Control the media.
Looks like the Turkish plotters have failed on both counts.
Sadly you are probably right .
All the usual paid trolls that appear to be from overseas were posting nonsense .
Trust me our Muslim brotherhood president may have given this monster Air Force protection .
Wig...stagecraft?
“Well good on them for a great attempt..”
The plotters will soon be missing their heads.
I hope this thug meets his one, 72 year old virgin soon.
Bkmrk.
Kill.
Now.
It appears that they did.From this point on, I would just make sure that I was not taken alive.
Coup soldier/leader captured by pro-government civilians.
Islamic Coup requires brutality like Saddam.
Bring out the tiger and wood chipper immediately.
