Yeah I realise that - My point wasn't really what side the reporter is on - More like it seems the civilians aren't on board with the Coup, from early reports.

CO of first army group, one of 4 groups, and the biggest, is saying they do not support the coup.
You're being quite naive. This could escalate into proper civil war and Germany will be completely irrelevant.
Just saw that. The military were on that bridge that the civilians were marching towards - think they opened fire on them
BBC don't seem to be cutting away when sky are.
Live BBC feed is showing a few more just apparently shot in the same place.
Looks like the anti coup group walking towards the checkpoint and the soldiers firing back until they stop.

Just had a text from one of the families I take to the airport, they are flying back tomorrow (should be there another 6days) embassy is telling everyone to leave.
The live stream I was watching just now seemed to show most civilians not really sure whose side they were on just standing around cheering and looking a bit confused.
there are nuclear weapons in Incirlik but turks dont have the codes and necessary electronic equipment to make use of them...
biased reporting or perhaps even completely false reporting... could just as easily be a crowd supporting the tank crew... in fact much more plausible even
Erdogan is a bit desperate

Must be crapping your pants coming out of arrivals

BBC has it live and you could see gunfire with people being carried away to an ambulance. Looked like a large group of people were moving towards to roadblock on a bridge.
Sounds specifically like pro APK(?)/islamists going out. Mosques are also calling people out onto the streets.

I know exactly what can and cannot happen thanks
I simply do not think it will go that far.
The only thing is if there are some people/Kurds out there taking this to their advantage to do some "terroristic activities"

Shocking scenes! You'd expect some level of warning shots / scare tactics but this is mental.
Not sure about that - quick google seems to indicate the US has a reasonably sizeable protection force there which wouldn't just roll over for the Turkish military given the equipment stored there.
Interesting though that all non-essential personnel were evacuated from the base a few weeks ago - does seem to indicate the US had some kind of idea something was coming beyond moderate security concerns.
Oh my bad. I didn't realize you were a prophet.
If you have a church in London, let me know and I'll come and bow to your infinite wisdom.
