The Dutch are entering a world of kebabless pain

The Dutch. They are world famous for their fondness for tulips, and also their delicious and extremely hallucinogenic baked goods.
But Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan knows this is all a cover for a deep, dark Dutch secret; he knows that the Dutch government is jam-packed with "Nazi remnants and fascists".
And now Erdogan is going to make the Dutch pay for their insidious Nazism:
What sparked this insanity, anyway? This:
Turkish authorities have sealed off the Dutch embassy and consulate, sources at Turkey’s foreign ministry have said, in the latest incident in a tit-for-tat row between the two countries over Turkish campaigning in Europe.
Turkey also closed off the residences of the Dutch ambassador, charge d’affaires and consul general as tensions between the Nato partners escalated after the Dutch government barred Turkey’s foreign minister from flying to Rotterdam.
In the Netherlands, the Turkish family affairs minister was detained by the authorities to prevent her addressing a Rotterdam rally in support of the Turkish president and escorted to the German border. Police later used horseback charges to break up a pro-Turkey crowd that had gathered at the country’s consulate in the city.
Kiss your kebabs goodbye, Netherlands. This is the heavy price you must pay for daring to defy the mighty Erdogan — sultan of all the world's kebabs.
