Relax a bit. While startling, it's not that crazy. This is Turkey's third or fourth coup since WWII. I think they're trying to compete with Thailand for a world record or something.
no it isn't that crazy. Turkey is a known hub between the Middle East and the Western world. Time will tell of the ramifications, as this coup is still unfolding. But this is a huge event, a tipping point in either direction concerning radical insurgency. I would put gold on Russia being involved with this. it is more than just a coincidence between the tragedy that happened in Nice yesterday and what is happening now.
