Russian ambassador to Turkey shot by Turkish national

[Tymon]

I decided on a new thread for this because:

1) It isn't really related to either the Turkish coup, or the Russia megathread

and

2) It's a serious fucking event.

The attacker was a Turkish policeman and Syrian apologist. Russia calling it terrorism.

There is film of the shooting, but I won't link it here, it's pretty graphic. Find it yourself.

lets see how putin reacts? invade turkey?

This is really bad news.

Vlad now has a free excuse to directly intervene in Syria with boots instead of just bombs.

Nah, it's still ongoing.

Who wants to bet it was an inside job from Russia and has nothing to do with the person being Turkish at all... Seems pretty Vlad thing to do.

The most likely situation is usually the one that doesn't involve a false-flag government conspiracy.

I fail to see this as a negative. Trump and Putin will now team up to go into Turkey and we will finally retake Constantinople from the heathens.

Turkey dun goofed.

It's Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Would be weird then, considering

"There will be no fresh cooling in relations between Moscow and Ankara, no matter how strongly our strategic opponents in Ankara and the West want this," said Leonid Slutsky, who heads the international affairs committee of the Russian Duma.

"This is not going to happen. There are differences between us. It's a horrendous tragedy, but relations between our states will not suffer."

Other fun theories are that this obama's "we will send a clear message for the hacks" speech he gave not long ago. Or some EU hijinks a week before the turkey/russian/iran meeting on dec 27. Or erdogan is cucking russia again after that plane they shot down

but it was probably just some muslim who was unhappy with the world. He was yelling allahu akbar and "you will pay for syria" stuff moments after firing

The Ambassador wasn't guarded is what struck me as odd. The video basically shows the guy walking on the stage and opening fire Duke Nukem style.
