WW3 starts Jan 17. Isn't that the day when Trump gets into the oval room?

Why would WW3 start over this? All it does is make Erdogan look inept and embarrass him; which coincidentally draws him further into the Russian sphere.

Damn, it didn't even start with zultar wearing Hillary Clinton's suit

Honestly, I don't think Trump will give a flying f**k about a Russian ambassador being killed in Turkey. Seriously, how in the hell does that affect US interests? Time for us to NOT be the world's police force, and *especially* to not be the protectors of Russia.

If Russia wants to start some shit, I'm pretty sure Trump will say, "Take your vengeance...CNN will cover it." And we'll all sit home at night amused at live-action drama.....even the bleeding heart liberals.

"Amused at live-action drama" - somehow mass warfare and death is amusing to you? You chuckling over Aleppo, too? Fucking garbage human being

Would World War III start over this? Remind me what World War I started over.

Choosy -- please, spare me your faux-indignation.

Tell me exactly what YOU are doing to ease suffering in the world as you troll WebDip. I'm sure you could be doing something better with your time...

...and I'd play big money that, should something happen in Turkey, you will be glued to your TV watching the events unfold with great morbid interest.

I love people like you that let your heart bleed all over the world while no doubt spending most of wrapped up in your own self-interests.

yeah....deal with it...death and destruction is a part of humanity. Sad, yes. But at the same time quite fascinating. Does that mean I enjoy seeing people die? Of course not, but neither will I pretend to cry myself to sleep every night over history unfolding.

@Deinodon - I'm hoping that's sarcasm

krellin - it is in our interests since Turkey is a NATO member, and we house nukes there

^

If Russia and Turkey get into it, it's gonna be Trump & Co's interests versus the best interests of the US.

goldie -- yeah, blah blah. NATO blah blah. Ineffective useless "treaty" organization that, instead of being a membership of countries that actually support each other, is pretty much just another US charity organzation where WE are called upon to clean up other people's messes, while they send a squad of rejects to "participate" any time we need help.

Fuck NATO, and fuck that backward-as fucks in Turkey. They are *hardly* strong allies. As a supposed Ally, you would think they would be obligated to honor ALL our requests when we are at war. The truth? They don't. Fuck 'em.

As for our nukes in Turkey...I'm fairly certain they are well-protected, even with that fucking douchebag "Cut-it-Out" Obama in office.

Hell...maybe they'll have a tiny little shooting war and blow a bunch of shit up, and then US contractors can go in to rebuild.

Yeeee hawwwsss!! PROFITS!!!! Weapons sales! Building contracts!! Yay!!

Someone needs to beat the shit out of you.

@krellin ... I don't know this site but check this out.

krellin, Turkey is the second most powerful military in NATO. They're not one of the charity cases. Also, they really were our front lines against Russia during the Cold War. Remember that whole Cuban Missile Crisis thing? Yeah.

Ahhhhh.....there's teh peace lover, asking for people to be beaten. And you prove my point. Ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha

And yeah, they've been little shits lately, but we haven't kicked them out yet.

There's a big difference between beating some sense into trash like you and, you know, genocide.

Cuban missle crisis? Yes....the Turkish navy was right there along side us.

What have they done for us lately? Not a hell of a lot.

Genocide!!?! lol Good lord, you are more of a drama queen than I had even hoped! You deserve a good mocking.

You apparently haven't been watching the news, you illiterate fuck.

.......days pass.....
.......weeks pass.....


None of the childish fear of global war come to fruition....

And the fear-mongers on WebDip will quietly forget all their ridiculous drama.


And they will continue to do NOTHING within their power to solve the problem of global suffering they all claim to care sooooooooooo much about.

Choosy....I think you need to go dig a finger up your ass and unblock your colon. I think your chronic constipation is affecting your mind.

Seems like the assassination is a retaliation for wholesale bombing of Sunnis in Alleppo. Note: Erdogan shot down Russian jet 6 months ago and pretty much got away with it. If Erdogan gets away with this, he will emerge as leader of Sunnis, unafraid to challenge Putin.

With withdrawal of American interest/support in the region, the Sunnis states are desperate to counter Russian support of Shiite states. I fear Russian reprisal for the assassination will focus on Syria with the ethnic cleansing of the rest of the Sunnis in Syria (who will seek refuge in Turkey, or die trying).

Can't be WWIII. It'd be WWIV, after the world war Benghazi started. Right?

Or maybe WWV, after Turkey shot down that Russian plane.

Or maybe WWVI, after...

The assassination was in protest of Turkish/Russian collusion, which had been strengthening despite ceasefire 'efforts' by the Turkish government.

@Choosy, if Erdogan wasn't behind the attack, how did the shooter gain such great access to the ambassador in the middle of Turkey's capital city, presumably pretty well controlled by Erdogan?

By exploiting a recently divided state's already sub-par security policies? You make it seem like this was Jason Bourne shit. It wasn't.

Recently divided state? You mean the failed coup? With all the 10's of thousands purged by Erdogan since the coup, you're telling me that one of the guys hired to protect such a critical person was overlooked?
