Erdogan and Putin have issued similar statements to the effect that the murder of the Russian ambassador is "nothing but a provocation". So, although essentially dictators in their own countries, they are allies and are talking and agreeing a form of words.

So there will be no Russian reaction.

Maybe not in Turkey.....  Putin is smart with an ego, something will be done in some way I fear.  Syria, elsewhere....and Trump will support him all the way, as clearly this is yet another case of "Radical Islamic Terrorism." 

RIP Dr. Heimlich.

Rip Zsa Zsa.

 

Hey guys, sorry I'm not posting so much. I just saw the posts about Ambassador assassination.

The guy who shot Ambassador was a member of anti-riot force. More importantly he was a soldier of FETÖ. (The illegal organization of Fetullah Gulen). In his apartment, Fetullah Gulen and El-Kaide books has been found. Shooting order most probably came from Fetullah directly.

With this info, it looks like it was an act can be considered of Radical Islamic Terrorism, but its partly true. Fetullah Gulen became an idiot who thinks himself is a ressurected Jesus (Mehdi in islamic culture). But also the organization became something like fucking huge mafia organization. Think him as Pablo Escobar became global.

Under His command shitload of people assassinated (Hrant Dink and Necip Hablemitoğlu and I believe Tahir Elçi assassinated by them), murdered and convicted because of that fucker. Tayyip and him were pretty close till 17 December 2015 so they were fucking up Turkey, neighbours and their people together. They are still fucking up together even as enemies of each other. Cuz of that conflict between these old friends, shitload of innocent people already died.

And another side of the medallion: Russia shouldn't care who assassinate their Ambassador. A high ranking officer of a Russian Government commended to Turkish Governent shot down by a lunatic. This is on Turkish Government, how the fuck you fail to guard him?!

 

You know what upsets me more than anything, besides him being a human, he was a decent one. He worked his ass off to make things better between Russia And Turkey after latest conflict between them.

 

RIP Andrey Karlov.

 

 

The lack of security was interesting to me too.

RIP Dr. Rachel Owen, partner of Thom Yorke for over two decades.  

At least six people in the fireworks market explosion near Mexico City earlier today.

Man, I just can't see how anyone would survive something like that.  Fireworks/gunpowder/ammunition, and magnesium factories have been some of the most devastating explosions I've ever seen on YouTube. 

Now up to at least 31 dead RIP, with many survivors with up to 90% burns.

Agree with Dusty - the youtube coverage is horrendous.

Yet again... RIP George M

Fuck this fucking year. 2017, hurry the hell up!

In one way I feel the same, in another way I want the next 24 days to last forever.

RIP to all those performers and other, and RIP to George Michael.

Steve, I'm with you.  2016 sucked horse's ass, but 2017 could be a lot weirder & worse in many ways.

¿ ?

I mean, y'all ought to be careful, that "January 1" is a total artifice, it ain't going to stop, it ain't going to slow down.

My son just now said "What the fuck - George Michael just died aged 53. This damned year just decided to pack a few more in". Suspected heart failure.

RIP George Michael
