Russia calls this a “terror attack.”

“Today is a tragic day in the history of the Russian Federation. During a public event, Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov got wounded and died later. We qualify what happened as a terror attack. We are currently in contact with Turkish authorities who are assuring us that a thorough, comprehensive investigation will be conducted,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in remarks broadcast on Russian television. “Murderers will be punished. Terrorism won’t sustain. We’ll fight it. A memory about this outstanding diplomat will always remain in our hearts. He’s a diplomat who’s contributed a lot in fighting terrorism during his career.”

    If the Russians decide to do some sabre-rattling in the wake of this murder, and through client states on the border make threatening moves towards Turkey, how will Dear Leader Trump respond to aggression against our NATO ally?

      That would depend on weather or not Turkey has paid up on it’s “protection dues”

      Not likely..

      I don’t think Trump knows what NATO is.

    Terror attack? Maybe. But it’s in the Bear’s interest to portray it that way, so their defining it as a terror attack is open to doubt.
