Russian Ambassador the Latest Victim of Syrian War
Posted On 20 Dec 2016
On Monday, a Turkish gunman assassinated Russian ambassador Andrei Karlov as the diplomat was giving a speech at an Ankara art gallery. The perpetrator, a 22-year-old police officer named Mevlut Mert Altintas, reportedly denounced the violence in Syria before being killed in a firefight with law enforcement.
“Don’t forget Aleppo,” he cried. “Don’t forget Syria!”
Moscow and Turkey’s Erdogan regime have been trying to mend diplomatic fences and bring the ongoing Syrian civil war to an end. The Kremlin, which backs Syria’s official Assad government, has been negotiating with Turkey, which has supported the rebel resistance. Both countries have tried to develop a plan to stop the fighting and evacuate innocent civilians from the war-torn rebel stronghold of Aleppo. The day after Karlov’s assassination, Russia, Iran, and Turkey said they were working towards a ceasefire.
“Iran, Russia and Turkey are ready to facilitate the drafting of an agreement, which is already being negotiated, between the Syrian government and the opposition, and to become its guarantors,” the three nations said in a joint statement. “We have invited all other countries with influence over the situation on the ground to do the same.”
If that sounds like a remark meant for the United States, it’s probably not by accident. Shortly after the declaration was released, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the point more explicitly.
“All previous attempts by the United States and its partners to agree on coordinated actions were doomed to failure,” Shoigu said. “None of them wielded real influence over the situation on the ground.”
But if Russia and Turkey were warming to each other, this latest tragedy won’t help matters. Oleg Syromolotov, Moscow’s deputy foreign minister, warned Russian citizens against visiting the country.
“I believe that every person who is going to Turkey should think twice before doing so, because terror attacks have been happening there on a practically daily basis,” Syromolotov said.
On Tuesday, Russian and Turkish detectives were trying to determine if the shooter was part of a larger movement to destabilize and topple the Erdogan regime. Investigators believe Altintas may be linked to Fethullah Gulen, an exiled Islamist currently living in the United States. Erdogan has accused Gulen of inspiring the attempted coup against his government this summer, though the preacher insists he had nothing to do with it.
At the end of the day, Karlov’s assassination is another sign of how important it is to restore stability and peace to Syria. The so-called Arab Spring has been nothing but a nightmare for the Middle East, replacing one form of authoritarianism with another. Hopefully, President Trump, unlike his predecessor, can keep the U.S. out of these regional conflicts. It never turns out well.
When America won’t lead in a responsible manner, it has its consequences. We learned that the hard way in 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Toyota who brought you pearl harbor, Japan was part of the cause for WW1 and WW2 .
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! A Russian Ambassdor was shot dead by a Turkish gunman. Pick ’em off boys. After all, our southern and midwestern gun totint assholes love all that gun fire don’t they?
Putin’s man got shot dead because Syrians KNOW Putin is helping Assad. To what end? Half of the Syrian population has left the country. What will ASSHAT Assad and his ass kissing buddy Putin have? A country with only Asshat’s military? Good work pissbags!
This has all been going on while that punk in the White House has his hands dirty from his involvement….oh, don’t forget hillary was part of it too.
Eli sweetheart, you need to see a good shrink….you and the rest of your ilk are nothing but a bunch of candyass LOSERS!!!
No punkshit. It hasn’t …It has been going on since Ghengis Khan invaded Russia, the Bolsheviks took over and Lenin and Marx turned Russia Communist. Get over it shitbagger. You are now going to get a daily dose of the shit you dished out.
I can substantiate what I post. You? You still use your fingers to wipe your lazy hick ass. You better hope Trump honors his oath of office. Because as you fukkbaggers know the 1st Amendment says and I quote, Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. Or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
I plan to ensure that we peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Ignore it and your asses are out of our way for good.
Yeah, my hick ass can buy and sell you all day long…lol
Now go stand with your picket sign and wait for your welfare check honey.
Wrong hick ass…You can’t buy and sell me or anyone else with welfare you get from MY taxes. Now go shove that gun up your ass and pull the trigger…You won’t ever have to worry about constipation again mofukker

YOu still have electric? I don’t. I have solar. But my last year’s property taxes would make you shit your brains out. NJ ranks No. 2 in highest property taxes in the country. You still drive a fossil fuel car? I don’t. I save tons of money by driving a hybrid. My solar monthly bill is 75% less than your electric bill. It heats and cools and provides my hot water for my home which I paid off the mortgage and fully own now since 1966…you? You live in a dump in some sharecropper ghetto.
You can’t wipe my ass with what you earn pallie. I’m a well paid free lance writer and published novelist. You? YOu are a garbage man who thinks picking up trash and feeding it to your kids is your life’s work.
Last year, I paid over $5100 in property taxes. You? You pay shit and bitch like all of you and your fukker bitchy boys. Great White Angry MAN can’t take a shit without help from Mommy.
Like I said there mudpie, I could buy and sell you. Property taxes…lol. My Mammoth Mountain ski home I pay $11,000 a year, my ranch I pay $22,000 a year in property taxes. I live in a much nicer state that that craphole NJ, I’m in California. I drive a diesel truck…lol…it’s an F450 and it gets about 10mpg. When I’m not hauling hay, carrying materials to do work around here or taking a load down to the dump…. I drive a G550 Mercedes and the wife drives a Maybach S600. I pay more in vehicle fees that you do in property tax in lolol nj. I do have solar on the ranch and in fact got a couple checks from SCE for a couple hundred bucks for backfeeding their system.
My places are paid for and I’m retired somewhat from my business in construction. My oldest son runs the business, I’m still on the board.
Oh and my mommy.. I don’t talk to her much. When I turned 18 they moved away for my dad’s work and pretty much said I was on my own. When they came to visit one year I was told they were leaving everything to my brother and sister as I was doing fine. I’m don’t lose any sleep over them.
BETTER YET, SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUTH & PULL THE TRIGGER ASSFUCK
You sure are full of hate, WHY. Who were the people that interfered with the Syrian Government as well as in other Middle eastern countries ??
The Russians. The NY Times has already proven that in several articles. YOu know why your boy is so hot for Russia to take control of Syria. It gets Putin’s foot in the door to the Middle East. You own Trump now. Everything stupid thing he does is on YOU. How does it feel?
Typical Democrat reply, didn’t answer the Question ?? WHY do you avoid answers. The middle east has been a problem going back centuries , Who was it in the last 70 years interfering in those countries. Your Boy Obama screwed up with ISIS calling them JV and that had nothing to do with Trump and Putin. Everything hinges on getting oils out of the area. By the way the NY Times does not even make a grade of toilet paper.
The Rissian Embassador is not a victim the Syrians are the victims.
Tell us who went in to destroy the Syrian leadership ??
It’s a religious war, every conflict in the middle east is centered on religion with countries like the U.S. , Russia, China backing the side that they think will benift them so the people of the country are the vicims does not matter what country or what religious group is involved.
The only ones benefiting are the Arabs and the OIL Market boys.
Putin is gonna put a HURT on these Mother Jumpers!!!
It was not Syria, not the gold prices or NWO that killed this speaker. It was a lowlife Terrorist Murderer Period!
Think that taking out Mecca might deter this activity for a while.
Who MURDERED Ambassador Stevens?
Did Pastor [?] Terry Jones have a hand in it?
