There's the radical Islamic terrorism!

That's not as bad as I was expecting actually.
Because I know how ignorant people can be, I immediately, once hearing this, searched twitter to see how many imbeciles were somehow implying or suggesting that this is what President Obama meant when he said there would be consequences, or a response, for Russia's interference in our election.
Sure enough, we've gone full fucking crazy and this is pretty much looking like the type of thing that could gain enough steam (benghazi 2.0) from the most radical of the right wing before eventually being mainstreamed by Republicans in Congress. They will happily oblige, because you know they'll want to use it as a weapon in the 2020 elections. All that said, totally expected this would be somehow tied to Syria and Aleppo.

Something something Archduke Ferdinand.
E'rybody remember how WWI started?
But this makes it sound like Russia's too set on its current direction with Turkey for this to change things."This murder is clearly a provocation aimed at undermining the improvement and normalization of Russian-Turkish relations, as well as undermining the peace process in Syria promoted by Russia, Turkey, Iran and other countries interested in settling the conflict in Syria," Putin said in a statement on Monday evening.

More like, murdering an ambassador has a certain symbolic power compared to some other types of murders, since it can affect diplomatic relations, not necessarily an implication that "it's OK if it's not an ambassador". Of course, that's how I'd read it if it were released by anyone other than Trump. With him, who the hell knowsWhy is he putting the emphasis that "murder of an ambassador is not ok", like if it's not an ambassador it's kinda ok?

Do we even know if that's the case?

This is terrifying. How likely is it that this actually turns into a world wide conflict? How worried should I be as an American living abroad looking at possibly coming back in a little over a year?

This is fucking terrible logic. So is assassinating an ambassador on in your mind if you don't like them? Literally all he said is killing an ambassador is something all people should condemn regardless of feelings which isn't something I see as especially controversial.Meantime Russia continues to drop thousands of bombs on civillians and support a regime that has comitted the worst atrocities of our generation. They have decimated cities and killed over a quarter million people specially targeting hospitals and civilians. But yea, THIS is what violates all civilized rules.
I'll bet my house on this not causing ww3. If you think otherwise you are either alarmist or grossly misinformed.Take away: Assassinations don't start wars but if there's enough political turmoil building up then an assassination will start a war. Well good thing Turkey and Russia are on good terms.
Why are people in here freaking out? I was reading that Putin has agreed it was an attempt at disrupting ties between Turkey and Russia and that "it will not succeed".
Sounds fairly calm to me.
What they say and what they'll do are two very different things.
Sure, but some of the reactions I'm reading on this page alone are as if Putin has made some kind of threat.

Yes and it's nothing like this. There's no country openly backing ISIS.

The Sun has a quote from a Russian defense minister blaming NATO secret services. How reliable is the Sun, though?
Associated Press photographer Burhan Ozbilici was attending a photo exhibition Monday when a Turkish policeman opened fire, killing Russia's ambassador to Turkey. He recounts how he captured the chaotic scene with his camera despite the lethal danger.
I was, of course, fearful and knew of the danger if the gunman turned toward me. But I advanced a little and photographed the man as he hectored his desperate, captive audience.
This is what I was thinking: "I'm here. Even if I get hit and injured, or killed, I'm a journalist. I have to do my work. I could run away without making any photos . But I wouldn't have a proper answer if people later ask me: 'Why didn't you take pictures?' "
I even thought about friends and colleagues who have died while taking photographs in conflict zones over the years.
This looks very staged, like a scene from an American-spy movie.
Some one need to take a good dig on this.
