How much do you want? They weren't making a Hollywood movie.

How come this topic hasn't got way more replies? I mean, you don't see an actual assassination on TV very often.

Perhaps that's what a lot of people are thinking, eh? Hence the lack of reaction.

There are a couple of other threads. That may explain it.

Disgusting thing to say. The ambassador certainly did not deserve this. Your lack of empathy is quite sad.

I'm calling 'bull' on that. It's Erdogan's instant whipping boy. Of course he is the one responsible for getting Gulenists so deeply entrenched in the first place.

I think this is down to Turkey's 'deep state' secularists. It's exactly the type of methods they use to rid themselves of leaders they don't like. And they really don't like Erdogan.

I suppose Trump supporters could try to as way of countering the allegations of his close relationship with Russia but I doubt anyone would fall for it!

I made it just 30 minutes after the Berlin truck thread appeared which probably explains why. Quite shocking instant news.

Internal bleeding. It's real life... real death, not a Hollywood movie.

Obama and the West did nothing to stop the slaughter in Aleppo and the rest of Syria s Putin's imperialist progress marches on
The action of this one assassin may make him think again

It certainly will do the opposite. Unless of course you think fighting isis is an imperialist move

I happen to think it's a necessary action.
