I don't think that this will start a war, but it sure looks like TPTB are putting everything in place for a big one! Trump pulling out of the nuclear treaty with Russia is another brick in the wall.

It was Russia cleaning house and not in the same league as Killing an English Subject.
What do you make of this as far as Trump being accused of collusion and being in Russia's pocket though?

The UK lost one of their citizens on their own soil (allegedly) to Russia.
Turkey shot down a Russian military plane a few years ago.
We (allegedly) killed 100+ Russian contractors in Syria a few months ago.
There have been plenty of possible catalysts.
Killing the journalist (allegedly) in the way they did was horrendous and blatant, but I don't think it's the worst thing to happen in the geopolitical environment the last few years.
Still a horrible look for the US if this does turn out to be true though. We call them a close ally, damn shame.
Personally, I believe that Putin has Trump by the financial cojones, and being President sometimes interferes with his personal financial interests, that conveniently dove tail with his politics.

Interesting theory. Are you implying he is orchestrating the whole relationship with Russia? Playing it where it fits with personal financial matters, and taking a separate angle politically?

The Turkish authorities are speculating something grand happened to him and spreading a bunch of crap. We know he was killed somehow there, but I doubt if it was the way they are saying. The Turkish authorities must watch too much TV.
