An American Enterprise Institute official published an article in Newsweek in March that, if it came from the State Department would have been considered a greenlight for a coup: This came on the heels of a long Atlantic interview in which stated, "Obama acknowledged that he initially viewed Erdogan, mistakenly, as the sort of moderate Muslim leader who would bridge the divide between East and West — but Obama now considers him a failure and an authoritarian, one who refuses to use his enormous army to bring stability to Syria.”; Foreign Policy Magazine picked up on both in June. The chatter was out there and one wonders how much the coup plotters were aware of these articles.

Have you read any of the three articles I've posted (RT, CNN, ABC)? They all say the same thing. Power cut, airspace blocked, US working to restore power and regular operations.
Turkey blocked of Incirlik after the coup and have arrested Turkish Military collaborators working at Incirlik.
Turkey is demanding US extradition of Gulen if US-Turkish co-operation is to continue.
People are busy man. If you have some evidence backing up outlandish claims just post it. We don't have time to go on a treasure hunt looking for evidence to prove your claims. As I suspected. Turkey reiterated a request they have made numerous times before and a country that has just experienced an attempted coup grounded all military flights. In other words standard and no big deal. Two reasons I asked for proof was this thread was filled with hysterical statements last night and I had MSNBC on in the background and they weren't reporting anything like what the wonderful Russian "news" sources were putting out there.
