Turkey is in chaos and the future does not bode well for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his allies regardless of whether Erdogan can wrest control from an army group that announced on Friday it has taken over the country.

The Mr. Erdogan is considered a political strongman.
Whoa...don’t like that one bit. They cut power to our base....AND access...
Damn.
Erdogan’s “Reichstag Fire”.
Erdogan was extremely fast with this:
2745 judges have been removed by Erdogan, according to Turkish Tv.

Very suspicious.
thanks
Understood. But he may have had a wish list..
It would make sense for a fake coup attempt...but at this point I still think it is real, too many unexpected parts.
“The Mr. Erdogan is considered a political strongman.”
Correction:
Mr. Erdogan is considered a political strongman.
Yes, I agree.

I’m leaning toward that explanation. All I’m certain of is Erdogan is a sharia loving, evil sob.
Yes I was wondering if some in the military got wind of a big impending purge and tried to pre-empt it with the coup. Because.....
1) there is no way a plan to conduct this vast judicial purge was developed in just a matter of hours, and
2) the coup doesn’t seem to have been well planned. It may have been a sudden desperate attempt....
Erdogan is turning into a Islamist despot, and the elected Morsi started to transform Egypt into a Sharia state, lucky he was replaced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdel_Fattah_el-Sisi
This could get extremely serious. Erdogan blamed Washington for the coup. Aligned with the Muslim cleric in PA. And one can kinda believe some involvement considering what went on with the Orlando terrorists father and Afghanistan. Today they basically said they are at war with anyone aligned with that PA cleric. They will soon demand his extradition. Probably close US bases until we send them their Goldstein.
Shades of Iran taking hostages because we wouldn’t turn over the Shah.
Really? My impression has been that the people in the big cities are more secular....backwards, stone-age Anatolia (something like 90% of Turkish territory) is "Erdolf's" (from Adolf...) stronghold.
Would make sense until I read that the rebel modern cleric is somehow connected with Clinton. Then my heart sunk. Also read a rweet somewhere that the US has challenged Turkey to show evidence that the cleric caused coup attempt. That indicates a defiance against accusation.
It’s a freakin MESS...confusing alliances, sharia, tempers fired up, rage in streets...
Wonder when Trump will speak up about this.
