President Recep Erdoğan of Turkey wants to stay on the right side of Putin. I feel sure he apologized profusely for his wayward security man.

lol...Turkey has had several of what would normally be called "international incidents" concerning Russia including the downing of a fighter jet and then being involved in the killing of that pilot after he was on the ground [not sure to what extent]...maybe this was part of the coup plotters plan to destabilize the country but ordinarily all this would be day and night headlining news...instead we got pretty much nothing...things that make ya go hmmmm

Everyone seems to believe there was a planned coup but it seems to depend on whether to believe Erdoğan about that.

it's a pretty great photo. but look at the danger the photographer was in when he took it. I'm pretty sure that helped get him the nod.

I'm pretty sure there was a poorly planned, poorly executed, failed coup...he is blaming our government for hiding someone he believes is behind it, making enemies with both us an Russia would not serve him well...but who knows, something is certainly fishy over there
