Happy Easter.
Erdogan has won the referendum by a very slim margin, most votes originating in Europe by Turks living there (who won't be affected). Major cities all voted against the bill which strips the parliament of much of its power and gives it to Erdogan.
It was a vote ... just as Stalin.

We’re going to have to pull out of Iraq and Syria then. Iraq may end forming an alliance with Iran. Personally I’d prefer we be done with the middle east but if you want to keep the American empire going it’s not a smart move.
I would just as soon ally with the Russians to take back Constantinople.

Something the DemocRATS have taken to heart. And Erdogan.
Good call as this does mirror the Enabling Act, which allowed Hitler to assume the role as dictator of Germany.
They stamped empty ballots! and counted them. The fix was in. Notice how elections from aspiring dictators are just close enough? This is a catastrophe. Islamo-fascist president who could hypothetically be in power until 2034-—no checks like in American system.
You got that right. This country is a danger to all. Turkey needs to be booted from NATO.
This must mean that 70 years after it was passed the Truman Doctrine is dead.
