When looking at these things there has to be such a thing as "objective wrong" and regardless of the circumstances or one's motivations killing an unarmed diplomat of your enemy is always wrong.

The op does not seem to think so, which is why i put that question to him.

So much Russiaphobia and we don't know fact from fiction.

And your own view?

Personally I think shooting an unarmed diplomat is a cowardly act but then again I regard Russian bombing in Syria as equally cowardly. Likewise the mess created by America in Iraq is equally despicable. It's a strange old world we live in where if you or I kill somebody we go to prison but Heads of State seem untouchable and can kill hundreds of thousands on a whim.

China doesn't seem to have any ambitions beyond its backyard.

Nearly 1.4 billion people on a landmass that size, there's only one direction that's going to go. Outwards. First thing you'll notice is oil prices sky rocketing as Chinese purchasers offer more for oil than the usual customers.
Watch India and Pakistan, too. They've already fought over water, the next punch up will be much uglier.
By comparison, The Russians have 150 million on one of the world's largest, most resource rich landmasses. They don't need to expand, they choose to out of opposition. The Chinese will need to. Very different.

As long as the Gulf sheikhs continue to thrive out of wars in the region and Islamic terrorism we in Europe are going to have to expect increasing number of immigrants.

There will be no World War Three any time soon. People were saying there would be a third world war during the 50s,60s, 70s, 80,s right up till the war on terror. The world has been in more precarious times and the possibility of a third world seems unlikely imo. If there wasn't a third World War when 1 third of the world was communist then I don't think it it will happen now.

Its just these things get wildly inflated due to the amount of media platforms that didn't exist in previous times.

Not likely. Turkey will cop-operate with Russia and help them catch any other people involved. If the Turkish government had involvement thats a different matter.

You're late to the party. The World has been on the brink plenty of times before and this is quite different.

Look at poster's other posts - completely mundane and anybody could have posted such a comment as Germany is an obvious target. A lone wolf attack is the most obvious conclusion in this case and not a conspiracy run by a Boards poster.

All this stems from the disastrous invasion of Iraq, which was a catalyst for the Arab Spring and which has brought nothing but one disaster after another and too many lives lost to count.
US foreign policy is the root that grew all these problems.

We in the west need to accept that some societies need totalitarian oppressive dictatorships in which dissenters are kept in check or disappeared, free elections are non existent and where human rights, personal freedoms, equality and tolerance are foreign notions.

It will be all forgotten about in a few days time by most of the world.
Sad but true.
No world war or anything like it.

Yeah I took a look. Really mundane dispersed comments. What is bizarre to me;

1) The user name
2) The registration date of the account
3) The comment in the context of this thread and on the first page as this story was only developing

Just a bizarre coincidence?? Hopefully it is because the username sent a chill down my spine. Hard to know.

Someone will be fingered by Turkey to show they are co-operating now is it the real suspects or not that is up in the air
