The point about not plastering the assassin's obviously posed and prepared statement on mass/social media kinda makes its own point, no?

Yes. World's going thru a ferociously dangerous interregnum. But today's assassination is not a destabilizing event. https://twitter.com/nateschenkkan/status/810912100285554688 …

Syrian & Yemen wars; elite failure in West; rise of authoritarianism=destabilizing forces. This assassination=a murder, not destabilizing.

I don't mean things are going well; no. Major unresolved & deepening crises. But a "July Ultimatum" isn't coming from this event.

People looking at this event as a potential destabilizing catalyst... Don't see that. No impulsive actors on the scene.
