That name went through my mind, as well.

The Turkey that joined NATO was the creature of Kemal Ataturk. It was a nation that wanted to be part of the West, and was critical to protecting the southern flank of NATO.

That Turkey is on life support. Erdogan rejects Ataturk’s legacy in favor of trying to replace that Turkey and recreate the Ottoman Empire with himself as Sultan.

Three others were injured.

On the radio they are discussing a video of the murder. Anyone have link?

“If I’m Putin, I blame this on Bozo. Really not good.”

Putin will accuse Obama of taking retaliatory action for Obama’s accusation of Russia fixing the election and threat of doing something about it.

The MSM at that point will have to blame Obama.

You haven’t been paying attention to what Kadryov’s special forces (some of the most proficient in the world) have been doing to help Putin in Syria, since some Chechen national are (were?) fighting for ISIS


I have been paying attention. Recall the leading Russian opposition figure was murdered in the very shadow of the Kremlin a while back. KGB Vlad didn’t miss a beat. Arrested a few nobody Chechens and moved on. We should expect the same standard of justice of him here.

I doubt Russia will blame a YouTube video for the death of one of its ambassadors.

...or put out a fake story that he was a homosexual.

Pay attention to what the gunman is shouting and you’ll know why this clip is being edited by the MSM. Liars.

Obama is the great destructor and he is not done. Payback for Benghazi is my guess. We are being led by pestulent children who just may yet get us all killed.

The Russians did a great job backing the sovereign government against the terrorist in Aleppo. The media wants to be maudlin about the “innocent “ civilians in Aleppo are dying or hungry. BUT. What are WE doing in MOSUL?? Mosul has over 1.2 MILLION civilians getting the very same shelling and air force bombing that the Russians and Syrians did. Where is the outrage in Mosul? Why the double standard? Anyone explain this? Please.

Obama should be very careful when commenting on this incident. Very careful. Based upon history I’m worried.
