'There Can Be Only One Response': Putin Reacts to Assassination of Russian Ambassador
Townhall.com ^ | December 20, 2016 | Cortney O'Brien

Russian President Vladimir Putin joins a host of world leaders who have had to respond to brazen terror attacks on Monday. One of those attacks happened in Ankara, Turkey, where Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov was killed in cold blood by a police officer who was standing behind him during a speech in an art gallery. After he shot Karlov several times in the back, the killer screamed that he did it for Aleppo. The entire attack was caught on camera.

Putin has vowed revenge.

"A crime has been committed and it was without doubt a provocation aimed at spoiling the normalization of Russo-Turkish relations and spoiling the Syrian peace process which is being actively pushed by Russia, Turkey, Iran and others," said a stern-faced Putin.

"There can only be one response - stepping up the fight against terrorism. The bandits will feel this happening."

Monday's other tragedies occurred in Berlin, Germany, where a truck driver plowed into a crowd in a Christmas market, murdering 12 people and injuring nearly 50 others. German Chancellor Angela Merkel defined it as a terror attack. The killer may still be at large.

In Zurich, Switzerland - again on the same day - a gunman injured several people near an Islamic center.

Islam is the cause of all this evil

Islam is more than a religion and hence the reason for statements made by Carson and Trump about barring Muslims from becoming President, and insisting on vigorous vetting of moose-limb refugees.

Shouldn't we be on the side of whoever's against Al Qaida/ISIS?

You mean like Iran?

I’m sure he and Trump have already communicated on this. Once Trump is sworn in, I expect things to go down pretty quickly.

Let there be popcorn.

It belongs in the “ WTH is going on this week?” question

Countries most supportive of the US/CIA proxy war vs Assad and Russia now suffer embarrassing deadly terror attacks

UK on high alert - for good cause. So should Italy and France

Hey, if Putin’s going to go and kill Islamists, I’m altogether in favor of Russian action. In fact, I hope he invites President Trump to join him in the effort. Get it done.

>>Islam is more than a religion

There’s a pattern that can be observed in the methodology by which such state-established fraud is manufactured...

https://www.amazon.com/Mormonism-Islam-America-Bruce-Kinney/dp/1417968249

Hence the American founders’ prohibition against that sort of Ba’alshyte.

Sounds like he is saying things are about to get much hotter in Syria. But the problem is that the roaches have moved beyond Syria. These nutcases are in Europe and to a less extent Stateside. We need a plan to eradicate them all! No exceptions.

I think you’ve touched on why a lot of conservative americans have an odd respect for Putin. At least he seems to go in to win.

Just like Trump.

People really do respect a man with manhood.

Contrast that no-nonsense response to the b/s Obama/Clinton nonsense response in the wake of the Benghazi killings of our ambassador and other Americans. For too long we've had an enemy in the White House.

I think it has been happening, especially stateside.

Remember that video of the terrorists shooting cops in cold blood in Paris last year? A freeper said, “Trump just won the presidency.” That freeper may have been more correct than he realized.

I think that with every event like this in Europe, the US is more prepared, at the very least spiritually and culturally, to do what is necessary. The ONLY thing I really worry about is the nuke in a suitcase.

A concerted effort was being made on Twitter when the Berlin news broke. The left was hitting the twittersphere with, how ironic, you pray for Berlin but not Aleppo, and what about the 400,000 killed in Aleppo by Russians and the US... and on and on.

We must continue to crush the left.

“People really do respect a man with manhood.”

I truly believe this is why a lot of women voted for Trump. I know it really is what caught my attention first.
