Correct. But there is an important tidbit : not only the coup is blamed on Gulen and US but there are now statements from the Erdogan camp that the people responsible for downing of the Russian plane were gulenists, coup participants and controlled by the US and the Saudis.

Likely BS, but clears the record.

Might not be BS. Russia knew about the use of chemical weapons in Syria. They knew the US was going to use it as a “false flag” event to use it as an excuse to invade. They went to the UN ahead of the incident.

Russia knew about our dealings in Benghazi and warned the US to knock it off or there would be consequences. They also went to the UN to have the operation shut down. Which the US ignored.

Maybe this coup attempt has been in the works for some time.

Maybe we had a Department of State that had zero OPSEC or COMSEC accountability for decades?

Maybe we had a Secretary of State who has SAP programs on aserver in her bathroom closet.
