    Given the sudden Russo-Turkish rapprochement, and indications that the failed coup may have been incited (sting) or wholly (false flag) launched by the government itself in order to consolidate political and legal power further, as well as Turkish suggestions that the US was behind the coup, perhaps this is part of a process to oust US forces from Turkey?
    Azor....you are actually seeing the correct picture.....although the West has not caught onto it yet.

    1. there was to be a major national council meeting where the purging og officers was going to decided....leaked to the AKP media several weeks ago

    2. there is social media reports of families talking to the "captured sons" who took part openly stating we were alerted of a "coup alert and follow on exercise

    3. a lot of the coup officers were in the LTC/COLs and MAJs levels which is totally not normal for a coup although a lot of top commanders were arrested

    4. this whole mess actually started with the series of released intercepted voice conversations of members of the Erdogan family and himself involved in deep corruption....and the follow on arrest of many of those charged with corruption out of those tapes...that triggered the first Erdogan wave of prosecutors and judges being fired and a change in the release of voice tapes and a clamp down on the press

    5. then when the officially legal arm of the Kurds the HDP won 13% of the votes in the previous election it effectively blocked Erdogan from creating his one man rule

    6. then the sudden clamp down on all Kurdish activists and the HDP to taking away their parliamentary immunity

    7. then the sudden purge of his PM who he viewed as being to western friendly thus moving the position to a hardcore AKP supporter

    8. then the Erdogan refusal to allow members of the German Parliament and the German Defense Minister to visit her troops (the Tornado crews) due to the Germans stating that Turkey committed genocide with the Armenians.....this after the Germans bent over backwards to assist Turkey in setting up election booths across Germany for the last Turkish elections and providing the Patriots when he felt threatened by Assad.....

    Thus triggering the PKK into action thus giving Erdogan an excuse to look like the powerful leader for the next election which he and AKP won giving him singular powers....

    This so called coup now gave him the right to purge the military and bring in only AKP friendly officers ie Islamists and to purge the judiciary which he did.

    BUT this is the key......the US sees it as well......

    In some aspects Erdogan is just as dangerous as Putin is.....
