Obama's buddy...

Erdogan, prime minister of Turkey, had someone assassinated in broad daylight:
The killing which was captured on tape, took place while Tahir Elci was making a statement to the media.

"The moment the statement ended, the crowd was sprayed with bullets,” Reuters cited Omer Tastan, a local official from the pro-Kurdish HDP party, as saying. "A single bullet struck Elci in the head," he said, adding that 11 people had also been injured in the incident.

In other words, a hit meant to take out the pro-Kurdish lawyer, staged as an attack by the very people he was defending.

According to the state Anadolu news agency, it was Kurdish insurgents that opened fire, killing Elci, as well as a police officer, and injuring three other people, among them correspondents of the leading Turkish media organizations – the Anatolia and Dogan news agencies

That, however, appears to be just more state propaganda, because as journalists were quick to point out, Elci not only was a pro-Kurd activist but defended the "Terrorist" PKK, which is Erdogan's political nemesis.

Not to mention this is the same Erdogan that wants to drag us all into nuclear war by shooting down Russian planes.

...and the same Erdogan that is feeding ISIS money by buying their pilfered oil.

You should rename the thread to "America's buddy..."

Erdogan is not stupid, but bought politician. Of course, he could not independently decide on such a dangerous provocation. He was ordered to do it and then themselves NATO accused him of arbitrariness and inadequacy. Typical, transparent, long-known policy of the United States.

Not too surprised it's a link to a batshit-insane finance blog, but it's disappointing to see a human rights activist gunned down in public.

because you know... human rights are such a terrible thing.
