#4 Bridge closures -- trying to keep the more fundamentalists from the eastern suburbs from coming into the city?

And I'm worried that Iran, Russia, and ISIS will try to get some advantage out of this, and plunge the country into a multi-sided civil war.

Oh, and watch the JEF screw this up. He'll do something like demand Erdogan be put back into power, regardless of what evidence the Turkish military turns up against him.

#8 The military hasn't captured Erdogan. This will get ugly.

#9 Erdogan's tried to flee to Germany, apparently. The Germans are refusing permission for him to land -- apparently they HAVE taken in too many Turkish refugees.

#10 Hillary could select Erdogan as her running mate. He has experience in ruining a country so he would be a perfect choice for her agenda.
