Isn't Turkey becoming less of a democracy? So it makes sense

So Russia benefited from the coup? Well we all know what that means to the conspiracy crowd.
Case closed.

On the other hand, as Chaim Bermont used to say... Any of you heard of Gladio? CIA/NATO terrorist brigades, originally set up in Europe to be a 'stay-behind' army if the Russians invaded Europe after WWII, it was used instead as a 'strategy of tension', commiting vile atrocities (like the Bologna train station bombing, and the Brabant massacres, as well as the Greek 'Colonel's Coup' and the four previous Turkish coups, all extremely bloody and brutal. The European terrorist atrocities were blamed on the 'Reds' (the Muslims now get the blame for 'terrorist attacks' and hoaxes. Wakey, wakey. 'Please Mind The Gap' between what the MSM tells you, and the truth.

They were arrested pending the court case - but not for what ya guys think:

So Erdogan still insists that the Russian jet was warned multiple times for violating Turkish airspace. But Erdogan is going after potential links to Gulen.

The situation in Turkey is insane. Stalin era Soviet Union comes to mind.

Erdogan had them arrested because he believes they have connections to Gulen.
Notice that Erdogan did not have them arrested until the coup happened.
Here's another link:

Their arrest was not due to the Russian incident.
