normiss 644 #1 December 19, 2016 Russian Ambassador to Turkey assassinated in Turkey, by Turkish cop Holy balls man, I really hope Russia doesn't get too upset by this, I think they already feel they can do as they please anywhere on the planet without opposition or complaint. If they make a military strike against Turkey, we're all fucked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A crappy $4 million euro suitcase to Putin gets you Turkey. If he hadn't been so cheap he could have got Switzerland. There is a Russian saying: The thief who stole an altyn (3 kopecks) is hung, and the one who stole a poltinnik (50 kopecks) is praised. A kopeck is 1/100 of a ruble.

nolhtairt 0 #8 December 19, 2016 At this point, it looks like one rogue cop. Everybody needs to chill the fuck out and have the two countries talk it over. Apparently the rogue cop was assigned to be the ambassador's body guard. You can expect a change in security protocol at the very least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 943 #10 December 19, 2016 normissI think Russia 'chilled the fuck out' after one of their airliners was shot down, by Turkey. I think it was a sukhoi or mig fighter/bomber. It was IS who downed the Russian airliner in the Sinai with a bomb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
