I agree that some level of CIA involvement is likely, but its somewhat out of character for a US-backed coup to fail so quickly and so completely. Though I suppose the result of a more ideologically homogeneous turkey might enable them to go to war more effectively, and thats something that the US and turkey governments would both want.

Honestly, russia's involvement is the only part of this that makes sense. If it was a CIA lead action, russia tipping off turkey might have stopped a coup that would both create a new enemy for russia, and given the US an excuse to get its fat feet even further in the door.

As for the source of the coup, I'm not sure that it matters much now. The result would have been the same.

Every bit of news is propaganda for someone, somewhere.

The timing is everything here and suggests a reactive response from the West to halt the burgeoning positive diplomacy between Turkey and Russia. Although it is very difficult to determine the truth from within the mass of disinformation we face.

Okay, that makes sense. I was wondering what kind of coup doesn't bother to capture / kill the other guy(s) in charge. Now I know why.
