The fact that Erdogan has not been arrested by now by the coup leaders usually means that it is likely to fail.
The situation seems to be spiralling into civil war.

You guys don't know anything more than anyone else, so please stop.

Nothing like getting your "news" from Russia of all places during a coup attempt in Turkey.

https://www.rt.com/news/351606-usa-incirlik-base-turkey-blocked/

Turkey has cut off power to Incirlik Air Base, which houses 70 American Nuclear Weapons and is blockading it. NATO and US operations from Incirlik against Iraq and Syria have been suspended as Turkey as closed off the airspace over Incirlik.

Omg.  It's happening faster than I expected.  Hopefully this will be a step too far for most of the military.

What are you talking about? It's over.

The stand-off between Turkey and the US is just starting.


CNN's reporting the same thing.

I haven't seen anyone post anything from CNN.  Do you have a quote and link?  Plenty of nonsense was posted in this thread overnight.

Still waiting for a quote backing up the crazy speculation based on Russsian "news".

Have you read any of the three articles I've posted (RT, CNN, ABC)? They all say the same thing. Power cut, airspace blocked, US working to restore power and regular operations.

Turkey blocked of Incirlik after the coup and have arrested Turkish Military collaborators working at Incirlik.

Turkey is demanding US extradition of Gulen if US-Turkish co-operation is to continue.

People are busy man.  If you have some evidence backing up outlandish claims just post it.  We don't have time to go on a treasure hunt looking for evidence to prove your claims.

As I suspected.  Turkey reiterated a request they have made numerous times before and a country that has just experienced an attempted coup grounded all military flights.  In other words standard and no big deal.

Two reasons I asked for proof was this thread was filled with hysterical statements last night and I had MSNBC on in the background and they weren't reporting anything like what the wonderful Russian "news" sources were putting out there.

I am confused why you question the accuracy of the statement by the US CONSULATE in Adana.

You quoted RT.com.  This is sad.

Not as hysterical as RT.com quotes but the US Defense Secretary's press secretary put out a statement...
