>>Russian ambassador to Turkey dead after being shot in ‘assassination attempt in revenge for Aleppo’

Umm, if he’s dead it wasn’t an “attempt”.

The inflammatory rhetoric and fake news about Syria being spread by the Corporate-State-owned western media has to be considered a contributing factor

‘assassination attempt in revenge for Aleppo’

Note to headline writer, it’s not an attempt if the victim is dead.

This is very ominous.
I have always thought Turkey would be the one to start a serious international event or war. Glad your BIL is safe.

Dr., Turkey should be kicked out of NATO forthwith before it pulls the rest of us into war with Russia over NOTHING.

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that there weren’t any cops there to apprehend the shooter?

That’s quite a lengthy rant.

Well this should make the 6:00 news whose bootlicks and lackeys will spin this in a ridiculous direction which will undercut their legitimacy even further. That’s right, anchor person, make Russia into the boogie man in the face of this diplomatic war making anathema.

“Is that the killer?”

No. That’s Turkish security administering first aid to the ambassador.
