Is it wrong to remark on how sharp-dressed the assassin was?
It's an assassination styled by Top Man.

It's surprisingly uninteresting. Both Turkey and Russia think it's a Western conspiracy to drive them apart, which will drive them together. But Turkey has been changing course away from the West for some time now, only exacerbated by the coup attempt (more conspiracies).
They have joint cause in Syria, both against Isis and pro-Assad, for different reasons.
So really, in a geopolitical sense, this doesn't really amount to a hill of beans - it's small potatoes.
Berlin was a different matter. That's an attack on the EU, promoting nationalism. That one could have geopolitical consequences, if it affects Merkel's re-election.
The best thing the far right could do for their electoral prospects is stage a few false-flag terrorist attacks, or, if they're working in intelligence or security services, let some detected threats through to completion. If Russia wants greater influence in Europe, similarly, encouraging terrorist attacks attributed to asylum seekers would be greatly in its interest. And Russia definitely wants greater influence.
Counterpoint is that it's greatly in the West's interest to inflate the Russian threat. Cold war concentrated people's minds, encouraged international pacts and supranational thinking. But that's probably not going to happen with Trump. So the future looks tough for supranational bodies like the EU, unless the Russian threat is materialized somehow. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 118 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
