This is exactly why our Founding Fathers told us to stay the hell out of entangling alliances (treaties).
Turkey is a NATO nation. It has been screwing with a patient bear (Putin). Putin's patience is probably wearing awfully thin. If and when he decides to extinguish the last of the Ottoman empire, Turkey, as a NATO nation, will be able to call upon America's sons to sacrifice their lives in WWIII. We need no entangling alliances: military or economic. |
When 9/11 happened, NATO nations backed us going after the Taliban. The US was actually the only nation to call on NATO for war. Our founding forefathers, as great as they were, lived in a different time. Women couldn't vote. Blacks were not considered American citizens. |

Confirmed news that this incident was about Russian's intervention in Syria and Syrian separatists trying to hit back while in Turkey.

| You people act like it's the Turkish gov't that authorized the shooting. I'm sure Turks will investigate, cooperate, blah-blah. Enough with the paranoia already. |

UPDATE: Reports in Ankara say the Russian ambassador has died out of his wounds, he was shot 5 times, picture of gunman before shooting

Maybe you should say this to Russian TV stations. |
Russian media are reporting it as an attack organized by Turkish government. |

Russians love fake news. Not surprising. |
So? You believe them? Okay then.

How immature. I'm merely relaying information. |
