Chicog Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Nemesis7 said: so sad, unbelievable. No way Turkish government can escape its involvement, how can a duty cover police agent carries out such an act? Who detailed him at the first place? What sort of security do they provide to such VIP diplomats, especially on such a crucial time? Not sure about involvement, but negligence perhaps. One suspects the next one will have a slightly larger Russian detail with more authority over security at events like this. Russia does not seem to be blaming Turkey for this attack. In fact it seems to be saying that it is an attempt to destabilise Russia/Turkey relations. Quote Russian investigators have been sent to help their Turkish counterparts, who have given assurances of a comprehensive investigation, and that those responsible would be punished. Mr Putin has ordered extra security measures for Russian embassies around the world, a Kremlin spokesman told news agency Tass.

tukkytuktuk Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Islamic extremism can turn a policeman into a terrorist. The video we have all seen is like out of a James Bond movie. Not since WWII has an ambassador been assasinated in Europe. I pray for peace and an end to all wars this New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, it's not "like". And the US did not talk about "attacking" Russia. And Russia did not hack and release information because of its concern with transparency in US politics. Russia had information and chose to use it. This is pretty much what you claim the US aims to do "in the future". Can you please provide evidence that indicates that Russia had information and chose to use it? Hard evidence not just an opinion article Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard evidence not just an opinion article Thanks in advance This topic is not about the Russian hacking and alleged intervention relating to the US elections. There were plenty of posts and links on this, which convey the assessment of the US intelligence community. You are welcome to explore then. These were not, by the way, "just opinion articles" but statements from said organizations - even if detailed evidence was not released to the general public. If you think that the hacking was a privately initiated operation, and the timing of the information released was coincidental, that's your choice. The post was made in response to a poster making similar, if not even more-overreaching claims with regard to US operations. Somehow not too bothered with "hard evidence" there, eh? It doesn't have a whole lot to do with the assassination of the Russian ambassador in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Interesting article. Russia's had a long history of problems like this: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/21/middleeast/syria-russia-chechen-war/index.html Quote The Moscow Nord Ost theatre siege of 2002, the horrific Beslan school massacre of 2004, the countless suicide bombings at rock concerts or metro stations -- all sought partial justification for their violence in the carnage of the Russian war in Chechnya, and the continuing bloody repression of the republic. The Russian actions in Aleppo -- replete with accusations of carpet bombings, and the use of cluster munitions -- mirror the effect of its previous wars elsewhere, again returning it to the place of the jihadist's favored target. If we recall, Osama Bin Laden went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviet presence there, and so began al Qaeda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrorists, probably, but no rebels against Assad. Yes. If my memory serves me - not so much any more :-( Assad reneged on promise after promise for reforms. Syrians "dared" to protest and Assad sent his henchmen. That was the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
