Turkey Accuses Obama of Helping Plan The coup

Inevitable: Turkey accuses US military of helping to plot coup - Hot Air

Although the article makes fun of the accusation, if you think about it the accusation isn't that 'far-fetched'. After all:

- Obama did help a terrorist group (The Muslim Brotherhood) take over the govt of our ally, Egypt

- Obama did use tax dollars to inject himself into Israeli politics and try to get the President of our ally Israel defeated

- Obama did inject himself into the middle of a civil war between terrorists that killed 3,000 Americans and a dictator we put into office (who had been helping us fight terrorists in Northern Africa), and he did drag the US into an un-sanctioned war to help Al Qaeida take over Libya

- Obama did inject himself into the middle of a civil war between terrorists and a dictator, and he did drag the US into ANOTHER un-sanctioned war to help ISIS / terrorists take over Syria...

Erdogan is a madman. And it's frightening that Turkey is the repository of the largest stash of nukes for NATO. I hope when someone does make a move on Turkey they really really think it thru.

Merkels been empowering Erdogan for years though. I know I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy over the failed coup.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Erdogan is a fucking loon. This is why the military tried to overthrow him and now everything they warned about is going to start materializing.

 

[MisterBeale]

It was a combination of NATO allies and Israel. Shit is getting real now. The US presidential election is a distraction. If Hillary is elected, count on WWIII. The only hope to avoid WWIII is anyone but her. Don't look for that to happen, the Deep State controls things.

Erdogan is a madman. .

Erdogan is a fucking loon. .

Wow, Sibel Edmonds called it. American opinions are so easily manipulated by the MSM.

Listen to what she says at the end of the video. If you really believed in the sovereign right of the people, you would know that anyone that believes in western propaganda about Erdogan has been brainwashed. It was the masses that stopped the coup. Why would they do that if he is such a "madman" or "fucking loon?"

Don't be dupes.

Turkey considering military ties with Russia as NATO shows unwillingness to cooperate – Ankara
Turkey considering military ties with Russia as NATO shows unwillingness to cooperate – Ankara

"It seems to us that NATO members behave in an evasive fashion on issues such as the exchange of technology and joint investments. Turkey intends to develop its own defense industry and strengthen its defense system,” he said in an interview with Sputnik.

“In this sense, if Russia were to treat this with interest, we are ready to consider the possibility of cooperation in this sector," Cavusoglu said when asked about the possibility of working with Russia in the defense sphere.

It is Cavusoglu’s strongest rebuke of NATO to date. In an interview with the Anadolu news agency on August 10, he said that Turkey and Russia would look to establish a joint military, intelligence, and diplomatic mechanism, while adding that relations with NATO were not as satisfactory as he would have wished.

Turkey seems to already be making plans. . . .


Russia says Turkey could provide İncirlik base for Moscow’s Syria campaign
EURASIA - Russia says Turkey could provide İncirlik base for Moscow’s Syria campaign

According to Russian news agencies, Ozerov did not rule out that Ankara could offer the use of its air base after Erdoğan’s reconciliatory visit to St. Petersburg last week, where he affirmed support for Russia’s anti-terrorist mission in Syria.

“It is not guaranteed that Russia needs İncirlik, but such a decision could be regarded as Turkey’s real readiness to cooperate with Russia in the fight against terrorism in Syria, and not just pay lip service,” Ozerov was also quoted as saying.

Turkey opened its İncirlik base to the U.S.-led anti-ISIL coalition in July 2015 after a bilateral agreement was signed among both parties.

Ozerov also clarified that the decision could be taken based on similar agreements made with Syria on the use of the Hmeymim facility and the latest use of the Hamadan airfield in western Iran to carry out airstrikes in Syria, the Russian news website Sputnik reported on Aug. 16.

US moves nuclear weapons from Turkey to Romania
US moves nuclear weapons from Turkey to Romania

EXCLUSIVE/ Two independent sources told EurActiv.com that the US has started transferring nuclear weapons stationed in Turkey to Romania, against the background of worsening relations between Washington and Ankara.


According to one of the sources, the transfer has been very challenging in technical and political terms.


“It’s not easy to move 20+ nukes,” said the source, on conditions of anonymity.


According to a recent report by the Simson Center, since the Cold War, some 50 US tactical nuclear weapons have been stationed at Turkey’s Incirlik air base, approximately 100 kilometres from the Syrian border.


During the failed coup in Turkey in July, Incirlik’s power was cut, and the Turkish government prohibited US aircraft from flying in or out. Eventually, the base commander was arrested and implicated in the coup. Whether the US could have maintained control of the weapons in the event of a protracted civil conflict in Turkey is an unanswerable question, the report says.

Erdogan gonna open up Incirlik to Russia?...

Turkey Raises Possibility of Opening Incirlik Air Base to Russia
Aug 23, 2016 | Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim rattled NATO allies with recent remarks suggesting that Russian warplanes could share Incirlik Air Base with the U.S. before adding that it wasn't likely to happen.

Moscow hasn't asked to use Incirlik, and "Russia doesn't need to use the base. They have bases in Syria," Yildirim told foreign reporters in Istanbul on Saturday, according to Turkish news outlets. "Russia had no demands to use Incirlik Air Base. Those reports are not true." However, Yildirim said that other nations use Incirlik in southeastern Turkey and a Russian request to base planes there would be considered if it were made. The flap over Incirlik came ahead of a fence-mending visit to Ankara on Wednesday by Vice President Joe Biden to ease rampant suspicions in Turkey that the U.S. may have been involved in the July 15 failed military coup.

On Monday, Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, NATO's supreme commander and head of U.S. European Command, visited Incirlik and met with Gen. Hulusi Akar, chief of Turkey's General Staff. Akar was taken hostage during the coup attempt and reportedly had a gun held to his head before he was rescued. In a statement, Scaparrotti said, "Turkey is fundamental to security on our southern flank" of NATO. He thanked the Turks for their contributions to the alliance and "for access they have granted us to their bases, which are critical for our operations." Earlier this month, Joint Chiefs Chairman Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford also visited Turkey to show support for the government and to make contacts with the new Turkish military leadership. Following the coup attempt, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sacked more than 100 generals and admirals.

Turkish suspicions of U.S. involvement in the coup were fueled by the presence in the U.S. of 75-year-old Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric living in exile in Pennsylvania. Erdogan has blamed Gulen for fomenting the coup attempt and demanded his immediate extradition. Secretary of State John Kerry has said Turkey's demand for extradition must go through the lengthy and laborious process required by the U.S. Justice Department. Incirlik has been vital to the U.S. air campaign against ISIS in Syria and in providing protection to about 300 Special Operations troops on the ground in Syria in advise and assist roles to U.S.-backed opposition forces. Last Thursday, F-15 fighters scrambled from Incirlik when Syrian air force Su-24s bombed near U.S. troops on the outskirts of the northeastern city of Hasakah. The Syrian aircraft left the area before the U.S. jets arrived.

US Works to Keep Turkey in Its Fold as NATO Ally Looks East
Aug 23, 2016 | WASHINGTON — With suspicions on both sides mounting, the United States is struggling to preserve its wobbly partnership with Turkey as it entertains a closer relationship with Russia and fumes over a U.S.-based cleric it blames for orchestrating last month's failed coup attempt.

Vice President Joe Biden faces a difficult mission when he travels to Ankara on Wednesday to try to smooth over recent strains: He comes bearing no assurances that the U.S. will agree to Turkey's demand that it extradite that cleric — Fethullah Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvania. Instead, he'll try to convey that the U.S. still needs and values Turkey as a key NATO ally, even amid worrying signs that the U.S. and Turkish approaches to the region's conflicts may be diverging — especially on Syria. Tensions between the two countries were already bubbling under the surface before the attempted overthrow on July 15, but have since burst into the open. U.S. leaders were incensed when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan alleged the U.S. either supported or was involved in the coup attempt. As the U.S. issued denials, Turkish officials complained loudly that Washington was slow to show support for Turkey's government at its time of greatest need, even though the U.S. expressed support for Erdogan as the coup attempt was underway.

At the same time, the U.S. has been rattled by Turkey's recent diplomatic flirtations with traditional U.S. foes Russia and Iran, concerned they may indicate that a frustrated Turkey is rethinking its allegiance with the West in promoting regional stability. This month Erdogan traveled to Moscow to try to boost ties and possibly even collaboration on ending Syria's civil war, something Moscow has sought unsuccessfully with Washington. And following the Turkish foreign minister's surprise trip to Iran last week, Turkish media reported that Erdogan planned to visit Tehran on Wednesday — the same day he's also slated to meet with Biden. "Clearly President Erdogan is sending a message by getting closer to Russia and Iran that he's unhappy with the attitude of the West," said Bulent Aliriza, a Turkey analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Turkey's still going to remain a NATO member and aspire for EU membership, but the atmosphere is worse than it was on July 14," the day before the coup attempt.

A breakdown of ties to Turkey would be problematic for the U.S., which is counting on Turkey to pursue the same approach to fighting the Islamic State group and addressing extremism across the Middle East. Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey shares borders with Iraq, Iran and Syria, where the porous border has allowed Islamic State fighters in to Turkey, and would-be recruits into Syria. But the U.S. and Turkey are unlikely to resolve their dispute over Gulen, who has lived in the U.S. for years in self-imposed exile. Gulen has denied any involvement in the coup attempt, in which more than 270 died, but Turkey's government has insisted the U.S. return him to Turkey immediately. The Obama administration wants more proof before considering extradition. Although Turkey has submitted extradition requests for Gulen, those requests have been based on previous alleged crimes by Gulen and not evidence of involvement in the coup attempt, senior Obama administration officials said.

Waltky Erdogan is going koo koo bye bye. Unfortunately with Merkel's help. But now the EU and NATO are beginning finally to fret a little at this madman that they have kept in power.

Ok how to make this simple. Merkle has built this son of a bitch up so much that he really does believe he's the right hand of Allah. Turkey holds the largest stash of NATO's nukes.

I don't know about you but Erdogan in charge of this isn't giving me a warm and fuzzy. He stages shit. The coup wasn't a coup.
