Russian Ambassador to Turkey Fatally Shot

[desura]

So Trump has two towers in Istanbul and he and the GOP have a man-crush on Putin, who is aligned with Iran and Assad in Syria. This is going to end poorly.

It would be worse with HRC in charge. She would get carried away with her own BS and make Erdogan think she had his back. He would be more aggressive as a result.

Nah, he'll tweet his way out of it. In an unpresidented fashion.

Yes it seams like he was the local security but i would expect the Russian Ambassador to Turkey at the current time (tensions with Russia, bombing attacks, ISIS retaliations vs Russian Air Strikes etc) to have his own security.

He might have, they might've been outside (since the inside was staffed by police, including the one (off-duty?) that killed him).

The off-duty policemen was the killer and from the Video the killer was preaching for 55 secs after he shot 8 times the Ambassador.

There was no other security in the room at the time, only the killer the press and the guests.

 

[shortylickens]

Shouting Allahu Akbar over and over.
I wonder how "progressives" are going to defend this.


I also wonder how much more bullshit people are going to attempt to squeeze into 2016.
And what Trump is going to say about this and then renege on.

Sounds like a big F on the security department then. I think the head of the US dept of education has a greater security detachment than that.

We still got time for a state actor to nuke someone I imagine. ICBM's are pretty fast.

It's a good thing Obama kept us out of Syria.

dated articles/opinions about kicking Turkey out of NATO. Long before today's terrorism

 

[Humpy]

The pictures from this event are astonishingly fantastic.

This is so rock 'n roll. Black suits, pure white background, punctuated by a splash of artful color.

 

[IronWing]

Yep, looks dead.

He Turkeyed when he should have ducked.

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

I predict that shot to end up on a few dozen CD covers.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Over/under on how long it takes before right wing sites try and claim it was Obama getting back at Russia for the hacking?

I wouldn't be surprised if Russian propaganda started up stating that, to throw the US off-balance while they start rolling tanks to the border.

Russians will blame NATO for it. That's more to their advantage.

Maybe part of this is why President-elect trump has been pushing for changes to NATO.

The pictures from this event are astonishingly fantastic.

It was a press conference.
The whole thing was recorded 1080p.
You can see the ambassador close up in his face while he gets shot in the back.
And then a rant of the killer. All being filmed. As if it was a press conference.

Russia understands what this.
There will not be a WWIII.

Now the attack in Berlin, that's more serious news today.

This x1000

We need to leave that entire region alone. If the Russians want to get involved and F shit up, they should go right ahead.

 

[Oric]

The shooter is most likely a member of the Gulenists who had penetrated the police and the judicial system and attempted the July 15th coup. This guy is one of their sleeper cells.

Note that there will be a Russia - Turkey - Iran summit tomorrow and Gulenists are CIA pawns, the picture is complete ..

ROFLMFAO!!!! I fucking knew it. And it will be with American backing right?

This is the very definition of HOPELESSLY broken thinking. Believing in conspiracies on absolutely no fucking evidence within HOURS of the event.

What Oric lacks in evidence for his conclusion he compensates with absolute confidence in his conclusion. He won't move a fraction of an inch from what he posted above. It is set in concrete. It is a done deal. It will be fascinating to see how he fleshes out the fantasy conspiracy.

Turkey is due to implode. The only country they hate worse than the US is Russia. Looking forward, I wonder what we'll have to give them in order to keep our base there.

If Russia invades Turkey over this, should America and NATO stand aside? Turkey and the western world have never been further apart in the modern era.

Yeah ...

Ok bud, who has killed more people since 9/11: America or the evil Muslims?

Answer it honestly if you can.

Your Western governments are the real mass murderers hiding behind a veil of supposed democracy and freedom.

Glad you could take a break from stoning rape victims to bless us with your comments. Allah ackbar!
