He was one of the Turkish security policemen—inside job.

Hopefully Trump and Putin will unite in attacking Turkey and removing the Islamist Erdogan regime.

There’s hardly ever just one man when it comes to an ambassador’s schedule and security! Like in Benghazi

They say a man is known by his enemies.
By that standard, Putin deserves some credit

“By that standard, Putin deserves some credit”

If you believe that Latvia or Georgia are the axis of evil...

Hmmmm, let’s compare Putin’s rules of engagement to Obama’s. Actually Obama is more concerned with tranny bathrooms and prefers to not engage enemies, unless they are Republicans.

Putin could be seen as ambivalent, a gangster who defends Christendom and traditional European values

I’ve seen a photo of the murderer. Plenty of blood on his clothes and on the floor where he lays dead.

In the video you supplied, the Ambassador has no blood on his clothes, none on the floor.

I find that odd.
