But, but....Whoraldo told me he was SURE this was going to pass.

What are the implications of this? I know we have ships there just waiting to offload. Is there another country that will welcome us and will be just as good of a base site for aircraft etc?

I have to admit part of me is glad this happened, it will save us a ton of money in bailing out Turkey. I felt they were blackmailing us anyway. I'm very uneducated on the effect that this will all have though.

The Turkish economy is in the toilet.

Today, the Turkish parliament flushed.

Bye bye Turkish economy.

Sadly we'll probably give them the money anyway.

They were, are, and will continue to squeeze and blackmail us. Hey, about using those $15 billion we will be sending to Africa to fight the pseudo AIDS epidemic to pay off the Turkish?
