Turkey’s incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared victory Sunday in his country’s runoff election, extending his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade.
With nearly 99% of ballot boxes opened, unofficial results from competing news agencies showed Erdogan with 52% of the vote, compared with 48% for his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

True. And he and “Islamic Declaration” Izetbegovic were big buddies.
Turkey has prospered under him, though. He’s very clever at playing the West, Russia and China off against each other to Turkey’s benefit.
That's the fault of the same WEF-endorsed politicians in Europe, the same ones all for the proxy war in Ukraine, that have let the Muslims immigrate in mass to their countries.

Yep, their brilliant idea of an Arab Spring will go in history as the most suicidal move ever made by a society - as they already have 5 million ‘new arrivals’, the vast majority being fighting-aged men.
Good thing they’re involved in Ukraine, and have supporters here cheering them on. LOL!
Did Dominion “count” the votes?
Who cares at this point? Might be an improvement.
That’s what Hitler wanted, an Islamic Europe, instead of “flabby” Christianity.
He made a comment that can be interpreted as such, but the overall meaning was different.
He felt that had the Germans adapted Islam instead of Christianity, say had Charles Martel lost at Tours, the Germanic peoples would have adopted Islam, which glorifies the soldier who dies in battle, and with it, they could have conquered the world.
I do think Erdogan wants Ottoman Empire 2.0. Turkey has a history connected with Crimea. An important question is whether he thinks he could get a better deal if Ukraine reclaimed in, or if Russia keeps it. I suspect he would be just as happy if Russia did not have gunboats stationed in Sevastopol, but rather sequestered in the Sea of Azov.
Regarding Erdogon and Trump, I was interested to see a while ago that Trump’s sons have a business relationship with Erdogon’s family members. Also, I think Trump was working on a big real estate deal in Turkey. I don’t know the results or details in either case.
Regarding the election itself, at least Erdogon did not win 97% of the vote, so perhaps there is still hope for staving off totalitarian islamic dictatorship for the moment.
I’m more worried about what replaced Erdogan, what I will say is definitely, Erdogan is setting the table.
