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.

One of the things a lot of plutocrats miss when swapping donations for ambassadorships is, in history, there are a lot of dead ambassadors.

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.

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.

I 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.

[normiss 622]

Yes, you are correct.
Thanks for the correction!
doh!

Of course the Dutch are still a little upset bout the airliner the Russian brought down over Ukraine.

So, here we sit with a NATO member on the political defensive and bullshit stories swirling that this was something perpetrated by NATO and "The West". How are we all feeling about the person who is going to be dealing with this ordeal?

No kidding, the only difference is that Russia is already conducting unrestricted warfare on the people represented by the perpetrator of this murder.
