President Ronald Reagan:

driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology.

Apparently a retired general...it is hard to get it right.
OTOH they did arrest a Canadian in Turkey for being involved in the coup. Edging toward grabbing westerners..
And they are raping, torturing, etc the arrested Turks, many of whom are committing suicide in prison.

On that newspaper front page image, it looks like Erdogan is blaming General John F. Campbell with running the coup for the US. Difficult to read though since in turkish. That general is currently running US military operations in Afghanistan. WTF ?

I predict in the not-to-distant future, the Turks will move on the US Embassy just like the Iranians did.
