      Soldiers holding the Bosphorus bridge surrender. That's how it began. Why no manifesto, why not a coup by Turkey "playbook"? We will learn.

      Erdogan just declared "I'm prepared to die" which would seem to suggest that the coup is not over.

      To everyone asking if the Turkey coup was "staged." Umm, no. Forget everything else. You can't pull this off. Planes bombed parliament.

      I get mistrust of Turkey's pretty sordid mass media but we had info all night on social media. It's real, but clearly different from past.

      Most likely options, smallish faction within military attempted, and had some planes but not large number of ground forces to cover it all.

      If you *wanted* to stage a "fake" coup, the first thing is to turn off the internet, btw. This much info flowing makes "faking" implausible.

      Gulen is Erdogan's Trotsky, his Goldstein. A necessary myth.

      I believe the coup has failed, It is now clear it wasn't that large or full chain-of-command. Erdogan blames Gulenists; a plausible option.
