Why do People think the election Will be fair and he could lose? Turkey is not a democracy anymore.
Nothing surprising.  Even if the Quran burning didn't happen, Erdogan would have thought something different. >

I look at his face and can't unsee a blackmailer >

I see a double agent. This is why Putin has been so nonchalant about Sweden and Finland joining. >

Putin has made plenty of threats over it, it's just not that important for Finland or Sweden to get accepted in a hurry. Both countries are more than capable of preventing a Russian invasion on their own, and they both have defensive pacts with other countries. Nordefco, for example, is Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. >

I didn't know about Nordefco. Thanks >

Erdogan has been looking for a reason to deny Sweden, this is just his excuse... Fuck Turkey and Erdogan in particular, kick them out... I'd rather have the swedes >

Boycott Turkey and their goods. >

Especially lunchmeat, their main export >

Piece of crap gonna be a piece of crap. >

Erdogan is a piece of shit, like Trump >

Oh boy. A group of muslims burn a Quran and the leader of a muslim country loses his shit and bans a country of predominantly lutherans from joining a military defense organization. >

It has nothing to do with that. Erdogan is having economic and political issues at home. This is a way to whip up his base before elections in May. >

Feed him to the pigs >

You recommend we send in MBS? >

Mistrusting Bowel Syndrome?
That might be a bit harsh. >

Nah, it stands for Murderous Bonesawing Saudi. >

Turkish people need to understand the western world does not hate them. We hate Erdogan. >

I mean, it's basically just going to go like this:
If Erdogan loses his election, it's irrelevant and the next guy will probably accept them both quickly to have a nice success and goodwill right out the gate. 
If Erdogan wins, he can expect to be even further isolated from the EU. He can kiss any chance of getting those F-16s he wants goodbye and the US probably goes a lot more hardline with its weapon exports and servicing, which would severely curtail Turkey's ability to do foreign adventurism. Especially if he continues down the despots path as he is. 
Authoritarians get to be allies, see Saudi Arabia and the like, but they don't frequently get to last long as central decision making partner. Expect to see serious pressure applied if he wins he elections and continues to be recalcitrant. If he flips right after the elections, that'd be another thing entirely.
