Coup in Turkey?

The NATO aspect is really interesting. Would NATO be required to intervene in something like this?

This has Putin written all over it..

I fail to see how this could be really good.

Turkey under Erdogen has been moving more Islamist every day. If the people pulling the coup are indeed secularists that want to push Turkey back in a secular democracy direction this is a good thing.

Voting good. Likely secular military. Crazy erdogan i guess was replacing a lot of mil leaders for better followers of crazy.

Throwing them in jail is what I've read. He also arrested and (allegedly) tortured some journalists last year for asking about the Syrian situation.

Very little of what is really going on in the world makes through the Lib/Dem MSM filter in the US. Obama has seriously jacked up the world.

Hell yeah it does.

They even arrested and convicted their own beauty queen for insulting the president. Erdogan will probably end up like Morsi of Egypt.

Sky News coverage of reported coup attempt in Turkey

State run TV has been taken off the air. This does not appear to be a limited action by a 'minority military faction'.

Glad I chose England as my layover instead of Turkey.

British Airways flights bound for Turkey are being diverted to other destinations. A loud explosion was just heard in the capital of Ankara - being reported to be the State run TV building.
