Amazing that Edrogan claims the U.S was behind it. You would think that the U.S would be the last to want to provoke a coup in Turkey. What would be the objective? At best all I can think is a very sympathetic Turkey that would loosen up the private rules of engagements they impose on the U.S ... but that’s not likely for many reasons, Obama being one.
Then on the other hand, Edrogan simply engineered a failed coup or more likely co-opted a very weak coup, then gains street credibility with the Muslim extremists by railing against the U.S.
There’s going to be big Muslim war coming with interesting factions.
Erdogan needs to cease to exist.
Our TLAs need to make it happen to earn their keep.
Why do you think Zero refrained from interdicting ISIS's oil exporting convoys?
Hint: it did not have to do with global warming resulting from the lovely conflagrations that would have resulted.
Rather, it was to protect his buddy Erdogan's income stream!
Do not fall into the normalcy bias trap. Many (most?) world leaders are not normal people. Their paranoia served them well when they were clawing their way to the top. When they look to it to maintain power, people die.
Stay safe.
