I find it funny that a coup is considered a "success" if it lasts a week LOL

Looks like it is a pure military coup, too, some guys in the army deciding to seize power.

interesting stat coups succeed or fail basically on a 50/50 chance, and it is deemed a success if they hold power for 7 days haha

You know it's not a populist movement when they disrupt social media and internet etc. :)

Always hard to say what happens in any coup until after it's all done or it is failed. One thing's for certain, forced military takeovers rarely make a country better in terms of "democractic" ideals anyway. It's just power shuffling amongst the elites.

Just how the f do these guys hope to ever get recognized by anyone as official leaders if they didnt get elected? As much as I dislike Erdogan i dont see any way for this to end well... seems to me like nothing but an attempt to destabilize turkey for some reason

I'd love to hear what someone from Turkey thinks about whats going on right now but they shut the internet down so yeah
