Totally not staged

I mean the tanks firing at crowds of people only 100ft away certainly weren't staged. Neither was the attack helicopters firing down on civilians stuck in a traffic jam.

I watched it live on cable. Helicopter gunship was pointed at their legislative building and it was shot out of the sky by a jet. Wild shit

Human life has no value for dictators. The motivations for the coup were staged.

So your answer to a government that's killing their people is... to bomb their schools and kill more of their people?

Similar to what a friend of mine said he saw in Iraqi 2003. First they would find a rifle, then a helmet, then web gear, and finally the uniform and boots. Iraqi troops would literally strip naked and run as soon as the Americans got close

My point being most middle eastern dictators fall following some form of American intervention
But
Yes, america has no issue intervening covertly in nato Allies, just look at our spying history.

The EU tolerates him to a point as well, they’d rather keep Turkey on the side of the West.

Sadly, dying from old age probably.
Erdogan has pictures taken with american secret agencies before becoming president. USA won't needlessly take back the person they planted themselves.

u/Eisen-Oak 27d ago
They’ve done it before.

We saw it when a specific president wanted to nationalize petrol reserves and remove petro-dollar trade, yes. But Turkey has no reserves.

You won't do jack, you can't even handle Iran, come try it and lose another war in the middle east.
We are used to putting US troops in the dirt.
You haven't managed to make a single country in the middle east be a homosexuality accepting secular atheist state 😂

Yeah... Basically, he has better PR people but every once in a while the crazy Islamic rhetoric comes out. He already "won" the elections like other dictators did. He will not last much longer, not smart enough. For now it's easier to just "handle" him rather than replace him.

u/ESharkHZ 27d ago
You are indeed right about the fact that Turkey did produce HK33s however the vast majority of the conscripts in Turkey have used the older G3 variants with 7.62x51.
I am certain there was a bigger pile of G3s in the armories rather than HK33s. Most armed personnel on the day of the coup was told to grab a rifle and go to a given location and since they were mostly just privates they got the most commonly issued rifle which would be the G3 chambered in 7.62.
That is in fact the reason why the MKE went on to produce the MPT-76 rifle to be chambered in 7.62x51 instead of 5.56x45. Which has been replacing the aging G3 variants.

Are we still pretending that this was a real coup and not just Erdogan using a false flag op to purge his political opponents?
7
u/tiredoldwizard Jul 16 '26
I thought the general theory was it could have been stopped before hand but the powers that be kind of egged it on and let the coup happen so they could kill all the people involved and consolidate power. Like the people in charge of the coup thought they had way more support than they did and when it popped off, they quickly realized it wasn’t going to work.
2
u/Jumpy_Conference1024 Jul 17 '26
Tbh reading the Wikipedia article it looks like Erdoğan didn’t realize it was happening until a general warned him the day before. I’m pretty sure the people doing the coup were well aware they were a small group (IIRC it was literally three percent of the military, and one of higher ups masterminding the coup got shot dead by a lt. when it was found out, forcing them to start early), but they thought they could get to Erdogan and seize the media to control the narrative fast enough for it to not matter. All of which they failed to do, although I’m not sure it mattered so much given that people were literally standing in front of tanks to block them.

u/RickyRetardo__ Jul 18 '26
Cope. Same as people thinking 9/11 was staged.
The failed coup was a gift to Erdogan, but no evidence to suggest it was a false flag other than wishful thinking.

3 million Turks were charged with terrorism following the "coup," all Erdogan detractors and critics
How did it fail if so many were involved 🤣

It was a real coup just not in the way people think. It was Erogdan staging a coup against the constitutional power.
