The assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has left room for quite a number of questions. But the key one is who benefits from the tragedy, which is sought to be presented as action by a pensioner with an unstable psyche?
If we take Europe, the United States seems to be only deeming it as “fodder” to support its economy — that is, Washington is interested in a weaker EU and quite happy with this pathway of European developments. The US does not really care even if the bloc falls apart — the competitor has been weakened here and now. Trump threatens to leave NATO altogether when he becomes president. To Washington, Europe will soon become a cut-off slice, making any attempt on its leaders pointless, as things there develop in compliance with America’s immediate interests.
Neither does the European Union look like an entity with much historical perspective. More likely, it is going to crumble. But in Europe itself, the collapse scenario prompts the question as to who becomes its leader to benefit from taking the lead over the new form of European community, and to eat the ginger as the saying goes? Macron dreams of a leading role for France. London sees some European countries as assets it may appropriate, primarily in the financial sector, under the City of London’s control after the collapse of the EU along with its “euro”. This would prove a fabulous success for England to guarantee its own salvation from the crisis.
However, the third influential player in this play-off for European primacy is a conglomerate of states that once formed the backbone of Austria-Hungary. Over the past few years, we have repeatedly written about prospects of its reincarnation in new conditions and forms, for example, as a union that will emerge from part of the Central and Eastern European countries (CEE) after the EU collapses — a trend not only not refuted, but growing increasingly apparent. Let us bear in mind how Central Europe has become accustomed to “leaning” against more powerful neighbors since then, whether it be the West or the Soviet Union. And CEE had no self-sufficiency or independence as someone was always feeding it: either the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the Napoleonic Wars until WWI, or the Soviet Comecon (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) after WWII. And the last thirty years have been featuring the European Union, which has now explicitly started to “turn sour.”
This time, there are two actors willing to steamroll the CEE. We are not taking France into account, since the cunning Talleyrand-style foreign policy has long been lost there, especially given Macron’s dual challenge of expulsion from French Africa and crisis in New Caledonia. Hence the unfeasibility of CEE’s subordination to weakening Paris. In contrast, the claims by Vatican-backed Vienna on the one hand, and London on the other, are quite tangible. Here, the Viennese vector relies on nationalist patriots like Hungary’s Orban or Serbia’s Vučić or Slovakia’s Fico, while the British one falls back upon the Anglo-Saxon globalists. And this hurtle has repeatedly manifested itself in European wars of the past centuries, which was colorfully recalled by the Forbes magazine in its piece titled “Britain and Europe: Three Centuries of Confrontation.”
The atrophy and chaos in the territory of former Austria-Hungary comprising Slovakia seems part of the globalist plans aimed to prevent the re-creation of nationally oriented regional entities in Europe. Along with economic integration in the former USSR zone, by the way.
Notably, the assassination attempt on Fico has revealed a Ukrainian hand already. As the press writes, “a Ukrainian trace was officially found in the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister of Slovakia Fico. The Slovak police received screenshots of the correspondence between the terrorist’s wife and the Ukrainian intelligence services. According to the correspondence, the terrorist’s wife turned out to be closely connected with the Ukrainian intelligence services. She has already been arrested." And who is the one directing the Kiev regime and the work of its intelligence services? London. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been quite clear about that.
And Britain’s The Financial Times did not even try to contain its satisfaction as it directly hinted that the Prime Minister of Slovakia got what he deserved, with his toxic policies having brought him to the point of fighting for his life.
Meanwhile, the globalists have been going right ahead. Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze recently said that a European Commissioner tried to intimidate him by bringing up the attack on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico as they discussed Georgia’s bill on foreign agents.
“Even amid the prolonged blackmail [by the West], it was stunning to hear this threat in a telephone conversation with one of the EU commissioners. As we spoke, the EU commissioner listed a whole range of measures that Western partners could take if the veto of the transparency law is overridden, and while listing these measures, he said, ‘You have seen what happened to Fico, and you should be very careful’,” the Georgian government’s press service quotes Kobakhidze as saying.
The questions linger as to “who benefits” from chaotizing Slovakia and the broader CEE space, and why? It is indicative that the media have started actively discussing the danger of an assassination attempt on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and that's not a coincidence! He must keep his eyes wide open now.
Globalist elites are turning to open political terror against their opponents, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stressed when commenting on the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s assassination attempt.
Incoming data indicate growing irritation of the US and EU leadership with the objective evolution of geopolitical realities and strengthened positions of nationally oriented political forces, the statement reads.
“The May 15 assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico makes it clear that in a situation where liberal-totalitarian elites are unable to maintain their hegemony through 'civilized methods,' they are moving on to overt terrorism against their opponents. Such reprisals are aimed at intimidating ‘dissenters,’” the document concludes.
