Military coup in Turkey?

What makes you say that?

Gut feeling, nothing more. If the coup is to be a success you would need to appease those who could ensure if fails. I suspect it would be a turn a blind eye sort of discussion, particularly if it results in a more secular government and less open mind to ISIS actives etc.

All speculation, but no baseless.
 
I don't think anything major (messy) will come of it. Tomorrow morning Germany will calm them down.

OFC some people are going to die... but its not going to be tanks running over civilians and babies being executed.
 
Well I did ask a question.

What makes people think the US knew about this coup in advance?

Any more avoiding the question?

well they've got rather good SIGINT capabilities so could well have had advanced warning, we do spy on NATO allies too as wikileaks had already revealed

though the posters suggesting they've had a hand in it are likely verging on conspiracy theory territory...

I mean there are US troops there right now at Turkish military bases even... there are US nuclear weapons based there as part of the nuclear sharing arrangement... so the US having advanced warning that the military was about to do something is quite plausible

what they do (if anything) in response though is a bit of a difficult one as they specifically don't support coups these days
