I was in Turkey last summer! Visiting friends...and had a great time! Now I'm worried about them! I respect you for being so world-wise! Most Americans are so parochial...

This is one military coup I might be able to get behind, based on what I've been learning about Erdoğan.
@cherokeepatti Looks like the suspected mastermind is based in the US which makes sense with my suspicion that it was a US/NATO backed attempt to remove Erdogan. You could tell at the NATO summit in Poland he was being frozen out and this happens and absolutely no NATO members came to his aid. That being said Erdogan is the ultimate opportunistic megalomaniac so he will definitely use this to consolidate his power. This might also encourage him to make things messier with Russia and in the Middle East as revenge.

Picture: I don't believe that...I believe he wants full reign and he was sniffing out the ones who weren't loyal to him, he is dealing oil with ISIS getting it for $5 a barrel and selling it to Israel plus also have cheap oil for his own country, that and treating ISIS soldiers in Turkish hospitals...I don't think someone from the USA did this.
Erdogan is a power hungry nutjob with NATO and by definition US support. The idiot seems hellbent on rebuilding the Ottoman Empire and does not care if he drags the world to war to do it. Hell this is the guy who tried to bait Russia into a war with NATO by shooting down a Russian fighter.

They are saying it was an inside job for an excuse to harden up the government and to weed out military members who weren't loyal to Erdogan.
Well when I first responded I thought Erdogan was carrying out a crackdown but it seems he is being overthrown.
