the crunch question

Question: Why did the Turkish army launch its attempted coup now?

Answer: A few months ago the President of Turkey brought the country to the brink of war with the Russia ruled by Vladimir Putin. I would hazard this was the last straw for the army. They were inches away from going toe to toe with a resovietising nuclear armed pychopath on behalf of their own recaliphatising Islamist psychopath. At this point, I'd say they decided on their coup.
