Russias ambassador to Turkey was just shot and killed by a guy hollering "Aloha Snackbar", followed by something about Aleppo. He was then shot and killed by local Turkish police.

If Trump and Putin become buddies, I wonder what impact this will have on us, if any?

My guess is that Putin will send truckloads of weapons to kurds, helping them to rip a third of Turkey.

Further reports suggest that the assassin was an off duty member of the police riot squad, and possibly part of the security detail.

The Daily Mail link has a photo of the assassin standing calmly behind the Ambassador, just prior to the shooting. His position behind the Ambassador, his suit, and his job all seem to lead credence to the idea that he was part of the protection detail. I hope that we vet our own officers a bit better than that, over here.

Russians have nuanced and diplomatic ways of dealing with this sort of thing...

Where were the rest of the security team? The guy shot 8 or 9 times, then stood around hollering/yelling and the reports said he was killed about 5 minutes later by other security personnel.
Where were the Russian security team members that should have dropped that guy right then and there? Why didn't any of the Turkish security team drop him right there?
Something is fishy. How could he be the only armed guy in the room? Knowing the past between Russia and Turkey why would the Russians trust the Turks to guard their diplomatic folks?
