We are the Invisible Spatula. We are the Grilluminati. We eat before and after dinner. We eat forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the dining room.
So what are the odds of this being a false flag to help Erdrogan cement himself as dictator through emergency powers?

lol, they almost made it 20 years without a coup.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand Erdogan is an Islamist fuckbag who buys oil from ISIS and tries to murder as many Kurds as possible, on the other he was elected democratically.

Not impossible, but he'd have to be able to get the military to help him and that seems unlikely.
