The Guardian:

The Russian ambassador to Ankara has been killed in a gun attack at an art gallery in the Turkish capital, Russia’s foreign ministry confirmed. Reports suggested the gunman was a Turkish riot police officer. Andrei Karlov was attending the opening of an exhibit at a contemporary arts centre when he was attacked on Monday evening. He was several minutes into a speech at the exhibit when a man shouted “Allahu Akbar” and fired at least eight shots, video of the attack showed. After firing at the ambassador, the man, dressed in a suit and tie, shouted in Turkish: “Don’t forget Aleppo. Don’t forget Syria. Unless our towns are secure, you won’t enjoy security. Only death can take me from here. Everyone who is involved in this suffering will pay a price.”

Murdoch-owned paper praises gunman’s style….

Turkey is a member of NATO. Russia is trying to destroy NATO. Donald Trump has undermined NATO. So, yeah, this other headline in the Daily Mail is worrying. Remember, kids: a splashy assassination and the overreaction of great/great-ish/wannabe-great powers is one way world wars get started.

One reply on “Russia’s Ambassador to Turkey Assassinated in Ankara”

  1. There is no reason for NATO to exist, except to use tax dollars to buy weapons from the military manufacturers and make those companies wealthy. Actually, that’s also why we are in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc., etc.
