> At least 35 people have lost their lives in an attack on a nightclub in Istanbul, the city's governor has said. Among the dead is one police officer, Vasip Sahin stated, adding that it was a terror attack.

> At least another 40 were injured in the attack which took place in the Reina nightclub, in the Ortakoy area, at about 01:30 local time (22:30 GMT). One attacker was involved, the governor said, while CNN Turk reported he was dressed in a Santa Claus costume.

> "A terrorist with a long-range weapon ... brutally and savagely carried out this incident by firing bullets on innocent people who were there solely to celebrate the New Year and have fun," Mr Sahin told reporters at the scene of the upmarket Reina nightclub, which sits on the banks of Bosphorus in the city's European side.

Just woken up to this sobering news.
I don't know what the answer is to these arse hole's if indeed there is an answer.
My heart goes out to those affected.

I am equally unsure of the answer. However I know what the answer is not - that prick Trump's current nuclear re-armament policy.

Because Trump repeatedly argued (if you can use this term for his ramblings) that the best way to deter terrorists is to upgrade and expand the US nuclear arsenal. He was explicitly talking about terrorists, not terror supporting states.

And no, I don't get it either.
