Good commentary from Sepahpour-Ulrich. She’s highlighting all the nuances we’ve been discussing here, thanks to the editorial content at this site in the last 48 hours.
She says that Erdogan must crack down and purge the country – this, regardless of whether we see it as ego or national security. His new constitution giving enlarged Presidential powers may well happen. Gulen is a very powerful and dangerous man, and even has his schools on military bases in the US, sometimes accused of indoctrinating jihadism!
The relationship has obviously been worsening between the US and Turkey, she notes, with the US disappointed that Erdogan would not invade Syria, and Erdogan upset that the US supported the Kurds. The US has increasingly discussed out loud in public channels the need for a coup in Turkey.
I am delighted that she too thinks Erdogan may well be in the process of “coming to his senses” as she says, and realizing he needs better relations with Russia, not to speak of the wider world of Eurasia that awaits the right choice now. I hadn’t realized, but apparently Erdogan’s desire to “normalize relations” with Syria was a public event, announced diplomatically. That shocked ISIS and Nusra, and Langley too one imagines.
There is this sense of sympathy for Erdogan that none of us would have believed a week ago, and that not many of us are able to put into words very well yet. But Soraya obviously feels it in the ambivalence in her phrasing – as with all of us, she states that she doesn’t like Erdogan – and then says that perhaps he really was coming to his senses.
It’s possible we’re seeing a man awakening to a better reality than the one he just turned away from. The coup will force him for the nation’s security to act in ways that will see him labeled a tyrant. But perhaps, just perhaps, there is more to him than can manifest just yet. When the dust settles, we may see him begin to act like a statesman. It’s already agreed that he will visit Russia in a few weeks to meet with Putin – so magic can be possible.
Her analysis has much better depth than that from escobar posted here, yet there is only one comment on her material, while the escobar article has a couple of dozen. Granted a high percentage of the comments after the escobar piece are websayanim posting their “fake coup” zio-spam, or attacks on erdogan, rather than intelligent discussion of escobar’s material.
I would not be surprised if this coup was orchestrated by the current leader of Turkey who was out of his country when it all happened. This gave him a cover, plus safety. It seems the current state of global affairs are happening with unbelievable False Flag underpinnings. The leader of Turkey is probably just taking a page from the illegal wars book of the above mentioned gang of war mongers.
