It is clear to me that the West wanted Erdogan gone (for good reasons) although I'm not insinuating that the US had any part in the failed coup. But after these extensive purges it will be basically impossible to remove the elite that rose with Erdogan for the next decades, of that much I'm sure. History has shown again and again that purges are a cruel but still extremely effective tool. After this there will be no opposition left. I even expect that Turkey will leave NATO within the next years and get closer to Russia/China/Iran.
