And as an ambassador, when your security detail says aah, you don’t need us today, just go by yourself, they’ll have security there.. don’t go.

From the link:"The gunman -smartly dressed in a black suit and tie - reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" and said in Turkish "We die in Aleppo, you die here" after shooting Ambassador Andrei Karlov in the back."

Sounds like an Islamist thug. Of course they are all thugs, no other kind.

Interesting... I count at least 12 shots. Guess there was no real security in this room or the shooter would dead as well. One just has to ask why!

Why is there absolutely NO BLOOD anywhere ?

Probably because it take a beating heart and blood pressure to pump the blood out fast. Some people also bleed out internally depending on the wound, location etc. I'd guess this guy was probably dead before he hit the floor.

Obviously a youtube video killed the ambassador.

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

Nothing odd about it. The ambassador was wearing a dark suit with a dark sweater under his jacket. He was also wearing a shirt. All of that material would absorb blood.

Also, he was shot in the back and fell on his back, so much of the blood would pool under his body.

At least one bullets pushed a piece of his clothing (probably his tie) through one of the wounds in his abdomen. You can see that piece of clothing sticking up above the ambassador's abdomen.

I’ve seen the images.

Look, if you don’t want to believe those folks on the floor are not dead or shot and wounded, I can’t do anything about it.

Now here is the assassin

Again, the ambassador was shot in the back. Almost certainly (judging from the article of clothing standing straight up on his abdomen), he was hit at least once in the spine. His instant reaction was shock and pain, and he grabbed toward his chest. Then he fell straight down and onto his back. So what blood pooled out, did so into several layers of clothing (shirt, sweater, jacket lining and outer jacket material) and under his body.

In the assassin's photo, he is face up. He has only a shirt and jacket on, and from the marks on the floor, he obviously did not go down immediately, but slid or crawled back toward the wall.

You are not correctly interpreting what the photos show.

Trump should be very careful, as should the rest of us. How many are still holding their breath to see if Zero really leaves office in January? A world war could be the crisis he uses to cover it.

His excellent trigger discipline indicates he knew not to put a bullet into his thigh, shin, or foot.
He was definitely trained and wanted to stay in the fight as long as he possibly could.

What can they do? Turkey, surprisingly, acted promptly and killed the assailant.

*Statement on the Release of Secretary Clinton’s Benghazi Emails*

{ snip }

August 24, 2012 — “H: Intel on new Libya president. Sid.” In this document two and a half weeks before the attacks, Jake Sullivan writes to the Secretary, “Some warning signs,” in response to the deteriorating security situation in Benghazi, which forced the Red Cross to suspend activities, and reinforces questions about what was done in response to these warnings. ·

April 8, 2011—“UK game playing; new rebel strategists; Egypt moves in. Sid” In this document, Secretary Clinton responded to a Blumenthal memo with,

“Fyi. The idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered.”

"using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered"

What does this mean?

Examining the Assassination in Ankara
There are many possible motives for the attack on Karlov: An angry Turkish citizen could have been upset by the recent rebel defeat in Aleppo, or a jihadist group could have been seeking retribution for Russian action against terrorist groups in Syria. If the attack on the Russian ambassador was, in fact, an angry response to Moscow’s involvement in the retaking of Aleppo, it would be a violent aberration of recent anti-Russia protests at diplomatic buildings worldwide. And if it is confirmed that the attacker was a member of the Turkish National Police, which was infiltrated by Gulenists prior to Turkey’s recent coup, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may clamp down on the Gulenists even harder, whether or not the attacker actually had links to them.

Trump needs to call Putin and try to disarm this thing before it spins out of control. This was a deliberate act—a well thought out plan to strike back at Russia. Even Obama isn’t that stupid. I can imagine the hurt Russia can give to Turkey—Cutting Relations is one—demand for lands be returned to Armenians for the killings 100 years ago, Hagia Sophia returned to Orthodox Church would be a start. Russia could ask for a Nato investigation of this—Mobilize for war and start securing allies —a vow to fulfill a Russian vow to re-establish the Christian Church (Orthodox) in the west.
