BREAKING: Private NTV news channel reports Turkish police have fatally shot gunman who attacked Russian ambassador.
That looks eerily like the the No Russian mission. Fucking crazy.Higher quality picture
Bodyguard on the right is apparently the shooter
That is some scary shit right there.This the ambassador right before the shooting, and the assailant.
Nothing will happen. If you get assigned ambassador to Turkey you are real low on the totem pole.
He looks like he's two dimensional in this photo.
That is some scary shit right there.
Like fucking why? What do you hope to achieve by killing an ambassador!?
\I think your second statement would've been more valid like 5-10 years ago
really scary.
Multiple reporters says Russian Ambassador generally wouldn't bring security detail to private or art events.
If in some crazy way this tied back to the Turkish government, which I don't believe it will, and it did result in a war between Turkey and Russia, wouldn't NATO not be obligated to get involved? I thought the charter stated that the NATO member couldn't be the one to start things.
Article 5 can be interpreted a variety of ways. Regardless, I don't think there will be a military response. Just my guess.Is this a big deal because of the NATO alliance?
What's the "for dummies" version here
you think turkish government sanctioned this ?
lone nutjob killed an ambassador, if russia attacks turkey for this nato will intervene
The index finger...
This is the result of AKP's hate campaign against Russia.
Fuck Turkey, fuck this country, full of hatred. I don't want to live here anymore.
kudos to the Turkish security forces for resolving the situation so fast though. really surprised this didn't devolve into hostage taking and the like
That is some scary shit right there.

This is bad, but Putin only picks fights that he knows he can win relatively painlessly. Hes not going to start swinging at Turkey.
Russia has razed East Aleppo to the ground. There was a video recently out of East Aleppo where it showed a doctor performing surgery on a child without anaesthetic because he did not have any, and the Turkish newscaster broke down and cried on air.That is some scary shit right there.

The ambassador has died: https://twitter.com/MoscowTimes/status/810892860350431233
What I was going to say. Whether it's said publicly by Russia or not, this will be troubling for them. This is a pretty large screw up by Turkey and its authorities. It's in both of these country's interests to not get hostile toward one another, and they've been actively healing relations, but this doesn't help.Before the 'tut, tut, Russia' stuff gets too loud and begins to echo, remember that shit like this looks really bad on Turkey. Being unable to protect foreign diplomats is a serious, serious problem.
@Independent
Man who shot Russian ambassador to Turkey shouted 'we die in Aleppo, you die here'
The index finger...
really scary.
