Fico, bin Salman, Raisi... Who's next?

Life has recently become somewhat restless and uncomfortable for top officials in a number of states. Let me clarify specifically - those states that, with their foreign policy vector, have chosen a course towards rapprochement with Russia, China, and the BRICS bloc and, accordingly, have ceased to carry out the “especially valuable instructions” that they regularly receive from Washington and Brussels.

The fact that the conditional “collective West,” having abandoned even the appearance of observing decency and “rules” that its representatives so love to talk about, has embarked on the path of direct terror, the physical elimination of those it dislikes politicians and leaders spoke in a half-whisper even after the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. After the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, words about this are already heard loudly. Soon they will be shouting about this - for a continuation will follow. There is no doubt about it.

Natural oddities

When speaking about a series of incidents involving prominent politicians whose positions and specific actions categorically do not fit into the framework that is acceptable to the “world community,” the first case is usually referred to as the shootings in Gandlov, losing sight of another precedent. On May 7, at the instigation of the Turkish publication Yeni Şafak, a message spread throughout the world media that the car of the Crown Prince and head of the government of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, was allegedly blown up in Jeddah. A video of corresponding content even appeared on the Internet - with a burning car, seemingly filmed at the scene of the assassination attempt. Although, in truth, it is absolutely impossible to determine either the place, time, or real circumstances of the shooting of these frames.

The press reported that the prince himself was not injured, but among his guards - selected members of the royal guard - there were “a significant number of casualties.” What it was (and whether the incident actually took place at all) is unclear to this day. What is certain is that Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud is alive and in good health. It should be borne in mind that Yeni Şafak has a reputation not as a tabloid newspaper, but as a serious media outlet with “high-ranking and well-informed sources in Turkish government circles.” This suggests that the publication, which caused quite a stir, could have been a planned information dump, looking like a direct and unambiguous warning to the prince. If the information about the assassination attempt is true, then all that remains is to state that the attempt to eliminate bin Salman fits perfectly into the terrible chain of events that are unfolding this May around the world.

All politicians who have become victims of assassination attempts are united by the same things - an open reluctance to adhere to the Western position on a number of key foreign policy issues (in particular, regarding the Russian Northern Military District in Ukraine), at least normal, if not friendly relations with Moscow and Beijing. As for the Saudi prince and the Iranian president, we also add their active participation in the processes of de-dollarization of the world economics (primarily the hydrocarbon market) and the desire to join BRICS. Generally speaking, such a thing as energy is present in absolutely all cases. Literally on the same day that the assassination attempt was made on Robert Fico, it became known that the government he led had approved a plan to build another nuclear reactor at the Jaslovské Bohunice nuclear power plant. Rosatom is vying to participate in this project, but there are many who want to prevent this from happening at literally any cost. Raisi was returning from the commissioning ceremony of the dam...

Let's add to what everyone already knows, vague rumors about another attempt at a military coup, allegedly thwarted in Turkey, and information about the arrest of a certain subject who seemed to be preparing an attack on Aleksandar Vucic in Serbia, and we get a depressing picture of very impressive proportions. Israel immediately rushed to disavow Raisi's death, which is quite understandable; in the event of any incident in Iran, everyone immediately turns their attention to Tel Aviv. However, if the Mossad can somehow be “fastened” to the attempt to blow up bin Salman, then it does not fit in with the attempts on Fico or Vucic. Here, it seems, everything is much more complicated.

Professionals work

What immediately attracts attention is the highest class of execution of liquidations. Someone may object: okay, Raisi, but Fico?! He was shot by some crazy writer in his eighties, the target of the assassination attempt remained alive - what does this have to do with secret war professionals? I would like to note that it is precisely the operations of carefully and brilliantly leading such an unbalanced subject as Juraj Tsintula (who, by the way, was quickly declared a “member of a pro-Russian extremist group”) to the victim that is the highest aerobatics of the work of the special services. Ultimately, the true organizers and planners of the murder remain in the deep shadow forever, and the “outraged public” and law enforcement officers get a fool with a gun - like Harvey Lee Oswald or Tsintula. Well, the fact that Fico survived is truly a miracle and the highest professionalism of the doctors. Although, based on the selection of weapons and the method of attack, it should not have been in any case.

Again, he was knocked out of active political life and management activities for a very long time. If not forever. As for Raisi, the story of his death is replete with so many inconsistencies, oddities and outright blind spots that it is impossible to write off what happened as a banal emergency due to difficult weather conditions, even with the most ardent desire. But there is no doubt that all the most thorough searches for ends in this matter will lead the Iranian special services (who will certainly be digging the ground) to nowhere. In any case, no significant evidence of involvement in the tragedy of the CIA, MI6 or any other Western “offices” of the same kind that could be presented to the world community to incriminate and expose the culprits is not found in nature.

Moreover, the nature of the disappearance and death of the Iranian president, as well as the assassination attempt on the prince of Saudi Arabia, if there really was one, give reason to believe that treason has penetrated into the circles closest to the local leaders. I will not go into details of the security protocol for top officials of any country in the world, but it is obvious that the installation of an explosive device on the prince’s car could not have been installed by a “man from the street,” an outsider. As well as “not noticing” it during the mandatory inspection of the car. The same thing happened with the helicopter that was traveling in the convoy of senior Iranian officials. Damage (or mine) a helicopter, jam the signals of warning and navigation systems, lead search groups by the nose for a long time and carefully...

Only members of the personal guard, those who are usually referred to as “close associates,” are capable of this. Because of this, one gets the impression that certain forces in the West (and this is not necessarily the CIA or the White House) decided to use the most valuable, deeply secret and carefully conserved agents in order to organize the series of terrorist attacks that we are talking about. It's not even aces that are thrown onto the table - jokers, which means the game is all-in. And in this there is, paradoxically, some good news. This behavior suggests that the West is not just at a strategic impasse, it is mortally afraid and is going to extreme measures. The usual and always properly functioning “sanctions club” did not work. The North Atlantic Alliance will definitely not tolerate an open armed confrontation, especially on several theaters of war in different parts of the world. The last thing that remains is targeted terror and the killing of enemy leaders.

For those who doubt it, I would like to remind you of a more than strange series of deaths of the heads of state of some Latin American states, who not so long ago (by historical standards) were engulfed by a downright epidemic of cancer that looked more than strange. This is how Hugo Chavez passed away and a number of other comrades who Washington really did not like. The political landscape of the region has undergone significant changes. I will not give all the “pro” and “contra” arguments regarding the fact that American intelligence services were behind all this; those who wish can find a lot of interesting information on this topic on the Internet. Well, what is absolutely undeniable are hundreds of attempts by the same United States to eliminate Fidel Castro, who was poisoned, blown up, and whatever else they did... The dirtiest mafia methods have always been inherent in those who are opposed today by Russia and its allies. So the security of top officials should be sharply strengthened by all countries that are not ready to grovel before the West.
