This will deliver him in totally uncharted waters.

A lot of detail at the link, original Reuters feed so I excerpted.

Turkey has a GDP of 822 billion with 75 million people.
The Netherlands have a GDP of 853 Billion with 16.6 million.

The Netherlands is diversified into worldwide businesses in every imaginable field.
Turkey is gas and weapons.

Per capita Turkey is about 20% of the Dutch. Good luck haji.

Stupid and avoidable. Erdogan is perfectly aware that (1) the Dutch are having their own election, and (2) Turkish electoral rallies will be regarded as highly provocative held just before. His election isn't until 16 April. He couldn't have waited a week?

Well, actually he could, of course, he just refused to, which is given the circumstances a very aggressive act and not one that should be foisted upon a NATO ally. He couldn't have helped Geert Wilders any more if he tried, and it looks like it might be worth FIVE SEATS to Dutch conservatives. If things in the Netherlands do not turn out to his advantage he has only his ham-handed political incompetence to blame.

If the Dutch are Nazis, Erdogan is a Turkish member of ISIS.

too bad the founder of the Muslim Brohood (which Erdogan loves), Hassan al-Banna, was a REAL Nazi. Oh yea Erdogan, who did Turkey side with (and inspire to genocide) in WWI?

If you look at Turkey’s debt and trade balance numbers the real mystery is why their economy hasn’t collapsed already. Its going to happen eventually.

Years ago Erdogan created new banks on the justification that they would conform to Islamic law. These banks have been handing out money on generous terms for years, its only a matter of time until they collapse. Turkey itself has been running huge trade deficits and their currency is bound to collapse. If you look at the numbers the miracle is it hasn’t already happened.
