So....has the rest of the world reacted to the assassination?

...granted they are just now waking up and are probably formulating how to respond.

But I guess Iran is going to drop the whole nuke deal....and Russia and China will pour arms into the country.

Who wants to bet that Iran has the S-400 system? Undeclared of course.

Shit, even Netanyahu didn't go this far.

Even if it's really not an all out energy crisis, they'll certainly make it one. Anyone that farts in that region almost always becomes higher prices at the gas pump. Thank you moron Trump.

Someone had to tell him, you so much as fart towards Iran, oil will spike and reelection chances go down the drain even further.

I looked on France24, Al Jazeera and RT (yeah..I know, I know...just wanted Putin's perspective). Nothing yet. They were obviously in the dark and didn't expect this.

Hence, the silence, they don't know how to respond yet.
