Very interesting and convincing article, above, by Escobar. That said, I remain somewhat confused as to exactly what scenario[s] were in play during the coup. Even with good intelligence of the plot before the fact, it is never a sure thing one can thwart it for sure.
If, as he indicates, both Russia and the NATO nations had foreknowledge [and US/NATO either LIHOP, or were in some way behind it], it really almost sets up a new 'cold war' scenario. Throw in Ukraine and the Olympics (and a dozen other things) and the World is getting to a VERY dangerous place now.
With the USA 'upgrading' all of its nukes so they can be used more 'easily' at low megatonages...it is total insanity, and we enter very very dangerous times. I'd trust no likely US President nor Congress to steer a safe course - actually quite the opposite. Whatever happened in Turkey (and is still happening) is much more important/dangerous than most seem to think! ::willynilly::
We are certainly living in 'interesting' times!!! :
