"Deep state" requires influence from outside, Russia? I really much doubt it. Turkeys deep state goes back all the way to Gladio setup by NATO after WWII

> "Deep state" requires influence from outside

no it doesn't. the definition is really about a state in a state...

[nepotism2016]

Oh yeah...the countries listed in that article, which one has a state in state without any influence from outside?

'Gladio Deep State' and 'Gulenist Deep State' -that erdogan has attempted purged to hell recently- are totally different.

Gulenists did not use any external influence.

Don't forget Gladio A/B, nice to see someone else paying attention!
