The Real Coup is underway right now Erdogan removed almost 3000 judges
Five of whom are equivalent to our Supreme Court
> Real Coup
Last night’s “coup” was conducted by patsies. Fighter jets made a few low passes over Istanbul, troops blockaded bridges, an unoccupied parliament building was shelled, and a few tanks in the street. Enough to cast the image of a coup, but not much more. It was half-hearted and half-assed. Perhaps it was set in motion by Erdogan as a test.
That’s one theory.
Here’s another.
Erdogan’s hotel room was bombed, but Erdogan was not in it. Since the assassination attempt failed, half the military either abandoned the plot or held back to see which way the wind blew. Had that assassination been successful then the coup would have been successful.
Either way there will be a purge.
