On Monday a truck plowed into an outdoor Christmas market in Berlin, Germany. At least 12 people were killed and 48 injured in what a National Security Council spokesperson says "appears to have been a terrorist attack." Just hours earlier, Russia's ambassador to Turkey was shot and killed at an art exhibition in Ankara, Turkey. Forum discusses the recent attacks and what they could mean for geopolitcal tensions in Europe and across the world.
