If I was an evil person and a leader of a terror group I would do it totally different

I'm pretty sure no agency would know what's going on or they would have hard time finding out what's going on

I guess I'm a little slow, but I just found out that there are still one million people left in Mosul: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/216900...and-floggings/

This is a war story I don't want to read when it's over

Scratch one Russkie ambassador, can't say I'm particularly surprised, and someone in the security detail is going to get detailed to guard a tree in Siberia.

Heh, apparently the guy who shot the Russian ambassador, Mevlut Mert Altintas was 22 years old, which means he was born in 1994, a hundred years after Gavrilo Princip was born...

Default Gunman kills Russian ambassador to Turkey at photo exhibit

Quote: Ambassador Andrei Karlov, 62, was several minutes into a speech at the embassy-sponsored exhibition in Ankara when a man fired at least eight shots, according to the AP photographer in the audience. He also shouted "Allahu akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great" and continued in Arabic: "We are the descendants of those who supported the Prophet Muhammad, for jihad." "Don't forget Aleppo, don't forget Syria!" the gunman shouted in Turkish, referring to the Syrian city where Russian bombardments have helped drive rebels from areas they had occupied for years during the war.

So much for peace and goodwill toward men.

Unfortunately, this was more or less expected.

Clues as to why (more a giveaway than a clue really)

Russia's involvement and support for Assad means this is likely to happen again somewhere, at some point. Another issue is, will this mean back to square one for Turkish/Russian relations -> NATO/Russian relations after Turkish diplomatic acrobatics saved them after they shot down that jet? Putin is not famous for letting bygones be bygones.

Have some question due to this

2. What will happen i Syria (Here I'm also thinking in Turkey-Russia relation) ?

Going to be another blood bath I'm afraid. An Iraqi woman was trying to escape from Mosul walking behind an Iraq Army Humvee, when a Daesh sniper shot her in the neck. Those poor civilians are caught between a rock and a hard place. Feel so sorry for them.

Just a matter of time before tourism is affected....then Turkey will have to make a commitment of true worth.

Sorry for the cynism, but if a gunman shouts "Allahu akhbar" and shoots the russian ambassador, the Russians must have done something right?

I cannot foresay a russian reaction, but after all it was a terrorist, and Erdoghan has by all means been fighing terrorism, if it costed Turkey's democracy. i do not think Putin blames Erdoghan or Turkey as a state for it.

I admit i am beginning to have difficulties understanding the motivation and especially the different sides or alliances of this mess..

Naturally the Gulenists and 'their CIA masters' are copping the blame on most Russian and Turkish social media, because of course they are.

And so it has begun, did wonder if something would happen over Christmas.

A lorry has driven into a Christmas market in Berlin, at least one person killed.
