- Erdogan shifts Turkey's politics regarding Russia, sanctions are dropped and the two countries embark on a path of partnership. This is exactly the opposite of US(western world as well) line of action regarding Russia
- US can not allow this so they stage a coup. They have a nice record of doing this in a lot of countries where they need to impose their interests. Since Turkey joined NATO there has been a military coup every 10 or so years. Turkey has a strong military so they are the most adequate for enacting change of government.
- Coup attempt starts. Everything is going to plan, national TV station is shut down, then a message is broadcast saying the military have seized power over the country to protect the constitution, democracy and security of the people. Military start disarming the police, blockade the parliament, Erdogan party HQ, strategic positions in Istanbul and Ankara.
- Erdogan turns to the people for help. Turkish society has become very pro-islam in recent years and they see Erdogan as their strong leader. Mosques start calling people to the streets to protect Erdogan and their faith.
- People flock to the streets, start fighting against the coup. "Rebel" soldiers are regular conscripts so they would not shoot and kill their own countrymen. It becomes evident the coup is not supported by the majority of people and that it will fail.
- When it is obvious the coup will fail the US and afterwards other western countries declare their on the side of Erdogan and his democratically elected government.
- Erdogan successfully stopped a US initiated coup attempt in Turkey using Islam and the people's support of him.
