Potentially Explosive. Erdogan is an Islamist and no longer fits in scheme with NATO. BUT is this suspicion true? It was stated early on that this is possible. The damage to NATO from this is huge. Russia would like that damage, but if Erdogan actually planned this, it should be admitted. The cost from here are too far reaching.

I came to the conclusion that it was a staged coup the first day that news of it broke.

It took me a few hours to deduce it.

Glad to see that NATO, after months, confirms my deduction.

Good post, thx.
My son just returned from living in Istanbul for 2 years.

He described the tanks rolling into the square and the drivers and other soldiers being unclear why they were there. Long story but his observation immediately was it was a fake coup.

Also says a strong division of those who either like Erdogen or dispise him. Most rural areas are against him.

The attempted coup against Erdogan has all the hallmarks of a failed decapitation coup. Leader escapes a bombing attack while troops that don’t know what’s going on our brought out to establish order on the streets and are soon disarmed. You can call that fake, but’s exactly how the coup attempt against Hitler played out...

NATO insiders suspect staged Turkey coup

A logical conclusion of the well informed, NATO or not.

However this source is very interesting being well divorced from the Western MSM Fake news and Prog Propaganda. Thanks very much for it.

NATO is brewing for a compromised disaster if Turkey is allowed to continue membership.
