Turkey coup attempt: What do you all make of it?

What do we make of this coup? Turkey is NATO member and the US has 4 bases in its domestic walls. It is a strategic country considering its location, but also because it’s the ONLY Asian NATO country among the 21. Turkey is very influent on its neighboring boarders and has gained trust in the bordering countries though out the past years. It’s seen as a pest to Russia, that sooner or later it will get its own back on them for hitting down one of its fighter jets early on this year.

Turkey was a trade deal during the Cuban crisis. The deal was that the US would withdraw all nukes from Turkey in exchange of the Soviets taking back home their nukes from Havana. Turkey has been blamed many times in the past by the United Nations to have used brutal force on the Kurds and Amnesty International claim that their Jail system is worse than any WWII concentration camp.

The failed coup brought to 5980 arrests and witnesses claim that some soldiers involved in the coupe were shot dead or beaten to death on the streets shortly after the legit government came back in control and restored order in the capital.

For the truth to come up and surface, I guess we’ll have to wait a few days or even weeks, so I’ll be updating the article with what comes next!
