The US State Department is reporting an ongoing 'security incident' at the US embassy in Ankara. Turkey - ongoing security incident near US Embassy. All US citizens should avoid area near Embassy compound until further notice.
-
Seems tricky what Erdo could gain from this, rather than more pain in the ass? PS - Also perfect timing with Syria peace talks planned on next day
-
Rumors say that, gunmen tryed to surrender and puted the gun down (he seems to have no ammo left) but still was killed. So one less loose end...
-
Turkey media have ID’d the assassin as a serving police officer - Mert Altintas. Now a member of Ankara Police’s special operations unit.
-
Yes, he was supposed to be his(Ambassador) security.
-
The Ambassador is dead, hitman was a TMD officer (he was the only one with weapon there, if im not mistaken). http://a.disquscdn.com/get?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FC0DkKqdXEAA1f2S.jpg&key=xapqmk6nN3PBf6XtzLAPow&w=800&h=1040

Then why do US have to bother with Greece and helping it if they just can move nukes to Romania and be done with it?
-
US will not buy this, and with that move you will have hostile Russia, i dont know what you could do but u cant take two directions at once, you have somehow take a stand for yourself and not look to serve anyone be it France, US or Russia alike
-
And when i thought this kind of religious stuff is left behind and used only by some primeval agressive terroristic-like states, oh wait...
-
Isnt that just a stupid bluff? I just can not believe in this kind of fairy tales, then again, i dont know anything about peoples mood there. And i dont like the feeling of vague hint on Crimea referendum in this statement of his...

You are mistaking today Russia with Stalin's USSR - a common thing under ex communist countries, with some extreme hatred and paranoia from certain of them (wont deny that they have reasons for this on USSR though) He has FULL support in Russia, even despite that almost everyone knows about his corruption stuff (like musician-billionaire friend of his, or castle-like house), it just can't overshadow the things he has done, especially having too fresh memories of Yeltsin time.
-
US is obviously interested more in Turkey than in Greece. They are in fact apply rather clever politcs, to balance two countries to be somewhat equal in terms of political and military power (just my thoughts).

I stumbled on this resource some time ago, and have been following this thread since. Now i have decided to register and add my few words. Pure strategically - your islands are perfect place for bases to improve presence in MED, not even saying about markets to sell weaponry and so on. And Russia desperately needs allies, true allies, even if they appear weak for now. After all, Russia dont have allies as of right now (China, for example, never was or will be an ally, and living close to thier border, i know what im talking about) only "temporary" partners. But this will not happen untill Greece and Turkey are NATO allies, and Russia will continue to maneuver around Erdogan, however disgusting it may be for me, or anyone else.
