    Russian ambassador shot in Turkey

    The Russian ambassador was seriously wounded in a gun attack at an art gallery in the Turkish capital.

    At least three other people have been shot and special forces have been called to the scene as hostages are held.

    Armed police are believed to have shot dead the gunman as gunfire was heard from the building.

    I'm sure his replacement can't wait to get there.

    Lol, I can't see it sparking ww3, but it should give prospective replacement candidates pause for reflection on their choice of duty station.

    Footage of the attack;

    I suspect the Russians won't respond by arresting the maker of a cheap video.

    They're saying the shooter was one of erdogan's elite cops. There has been whispering about this perhaps being 0bama's payback for the fabricated hacking claim.

    Where did you hear this? BS. Obama is weak. Hillary would take someone out like this, but Obama? no.

    Well, he did take out another ambassador before via a similar proxy, just that he was an American ambassador. Someone also killed Putin's fav driver not too long ago, after 0bama had said he'd pay Russia back for something.

    You actually compare allowing ISIS to kill an American ambassador to Obama willfully taking him out? Wow. Though the death of Ambassador Stevens is a tragedy and sits firmly at the feet of Obama and Hillary, it's a completely different kind of incompetence and arrogance on display. To equate this with a sanctioned hit, is ridiculous beyond measure.

    Again, what the fuck are you talking about? Putin's driver was hit head on by a drunk driver in a BMW and the other driver was hospitalized. The accident is view-able on video. So every fucking death by a Russian is somehow payback by Obama??? Since when did you decide that he's that bad ass and competent?

    Now I'm NOT DEFENDING OBAMA here. He's horrible, but your bizarre Tin foil hat theories actually portrays him as far more COMPETENT and STRONGER OF WILL than he actually is. The reality is that he's a sniveling coward and weakling, a typical libtard who is more inclined to attack conservatives at home, than real enemies abroad. Your bizarre notions that he's some evil mastermind portrays him with strength and intellect that he simply does not have.

    I honestly can't wait for Trump to mend the fence with Russia, so we can work together on wiping out terrorists. Sure Russia and the US have a few disputes over a few things, but it's mostly political. Radical Islamic terrorists on the other hand hate both of us, and wouldn't think twice about destroying the entire world in nuclear fire if they ever get their hands on some WMDs. We should just accept Crimea's annexation IMO, and work out a political solution to the rebel held eastern Ukraine enclaves later. We must focus on stabilizing Syria and wiping out ISIS as a top priority.

    Crappy/worn magazine is my guess - when the mag dropped onto the hard surface, the floor plate came off and launched its contents.

    I agree with you here. We need to mend a few fences with Russia (not all, but many) and coming together to wipe islamists off the face of the Earth is one area we can, both, agree on. I think Trump will work better with the Russians than any other President has (excepting Reagan). Reagan dealt,mostly, with communist Russia, while Trump will deal with Putin.

    If we ever come to view Russia as a possible ally in certain areas, I think we could accomplish a lot more than we have so far, on the world stage.

    As Reagan said, "Trust, but verify." I would change that a little to, "Trust, but with eyes wide open."

    I saw on TV, this morning, that Putin has vowed "revenge" for this. Not retaliation, but revenge. Putin is taking this attack personally.

    Whoever is behind this has struck at the wrong person. Putin isn't an Obama. He's talking revenge, not apologies.

    I think they pulled the wrong tiger's tail this time.

    I'd even go so far as to believe that Putin just ordered his troops to take no prisoners. Hands up and white flags are no longer an option.

    Kill 'em all and let allah sort them out.
