Just like in Ireland, you kill innocent people to make your political statement. It worked for the IRA though, didn't it.

I don't think anyone (other than those directly involved) really feels terrorised over this.
Well, unless you're the next Russian Ambassador maybe. :lol:

You are acting like you just lost your most precious boyfriend. GTFU (knowing it can never be done, lol) Is that what inspired your crying thread??

Uh, yeah. The IRA also had a habit of calling in and letting the authorities know there was a bomb in a given area. The IRA's aim wasn't to indiscriminantly kill and maim innocent people. If it was the entire British military would have curb stomped Ireland back into the Stone Age. Yes, innocent people still got killed, but unlike Islamic terrorism, innocent people generally weren't the intended target. The IRA's message was they COULD kill innocent people anytime they wanted, but they were also savvy enough to not make a habit of killing them.

Earth to TP. The IRA was controlled by the UK so that makes them the equal of ISIS being run by the USA. If you believe this headline you are a dope. It was the other way around, the IRA trained the PLO and others. Libta is the patsy, the same in the passenget jet downing.

From the 1970s-1990s, the IRA received weapons and training from various international sources, most notably American sympathizers, Libya and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

West Directed Killer’s Hand in Assassination of Russian Ambassador | Veterans News Now
Virtually everything that Western official sources have been saying about Aleppo, and the Syrian war more generally, is seen to be a grotesque lie.
The brutal slaying of Russian ambassador Andrey Karlov in Ankara sent shockwaves around the world. Condemnations were issued by Washington and European states of the act of terrorism by a gunman who shot Karlov in the back while he was speaking at a photo gallery in the Turkish capital.
The White House condemned what it called a «heinous attack», while the European Union’s foreign policy chief Federica Morgherini vowed solidarity with Russia in the aftermath of the killing.
One headline read: ‘EU, US Shocked by killing of Russian ambassador in Turkey’.
Given the months of relentless and unwarranted vilification of Russia by the US and EU over the Syrian conflict, the phrase «crocodile tears» comes to mind on hearing their condemnations in regard to the murdered ambassador.
Within hours on the same day of this atrocity, Monday, a second apparent terrorist attack took place in the German capital, Berlin, when a Pakistani asylum plowed a lorry into a crowded Christmas market, killing at least 12 people and injuring nearly 50 others. Taken together, both events ramped up state security measures across Europe. Again, another cruel irony, given the culpability of European states in sowing seeds of violence.
Karlov (62) had been a career diplomat for four decades, taking up his post in Turkey in 2013.
He worked deftly behind the scenes to facilitate the recent political dialogue between Russia, Iran and Turkey aimed at finding an evacuation arrangement for civilians and militants out of the battleground Syrian city of Aleppo.
Some Russian lawmakers went as far as alleging that the slaying of Karlov may have been orchestrated by the US-led NATO military alliance. The Syrian army’s liberation of Aleppo last week, with the help of Russian, Iranian and Lebanese military allies, has come as a strategic defeat for NATO powers who have been waging a covert war for regime change in Syria.
Over the weekend, reports also emerged of several special forces from NATO members having been captured by Syrian troops in Aleppo. The covert presence of NATO personnel in Aleppo, presumably training and directing jihadist terrorists, would be proof positive of the Western criminal conspiracy prosecuting the war in Syria.
It remains to be seen if the killer cop who shot ambassador Karlov was acting under direction from NATO intelligence.
However, even if he acted alone, it can still be said that the Western governments and their news media have an onerous responsibility for «directing his hand».
Among the condemnations pouring forth from UN chief Ban Ki-Moon, the US, UK, France and Germany were those articulated by American Secretary of State John Kerry and Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN. Only days before the murder of Andrey Karlov, the Western states and senior UN officials were waging an intense media campaign

May I suggest upping the voltage to 220.
No suspect at all. Interesting you seem to have more details about this than the Russians. Where were you at the time of the murder?
