Didnt see this posted anywhere. Is anyone following this?

I was going to post it in the Ukraine thread but there has even been some tinfoil hat speculation that was in relation to his position on the WHO

CNN is reporting on this now:

Live updates: Shooting of Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is in a life-threatening condition after being shot in an "assassination attempt," an official statement says. Follow for live news updates.

www.cnn.com

Slovakian officials are saying the attack was politically motivated - likely due to the PM's pro-Russian stance and criticism of Western support for Ukraine.

Mods - Subject change required as it's actually the Slovakian PM not the Czech PM

I was going to post it in the Ukraine thread but …

But it has nothing to do with Ukraine. It might have something to do with Russia (TBC). We need to stop dropping everything under the heading “Ukraine” when it is loosely related Russia’s toxic revanchism and resultant frictions it’s causing in neighbouring nations.

yeah although i find the WHO idea strange but im sure more info will come out over the next few days. Not everyday thing that a political leader has an assassination attempt on them or by a 71 yr old

The video of the shooting reminds me of Squeaky Fromme's attempt on Gerald Ford, except the gun actually goes off.

Some reporting on the alleged shooter. What do we know about Robert Fico's alleged shooter?

Are you suggesting we need a Broadway musical about this? Remember, Sondheim is dead...

The ghost of Gavrilo Princip raises an eyebrow.

Well, he is a writer. Presumably he could draft the script, but I don't know if his take on the Roma will sell with a New York audience.

Good catch.

Seems odd for a Pro-Russian paramilitary guy to go after a rather Russian leaning leader.

Gonna wait and see on this one.

Usually the most ridiculous thing I can think of is less stupid than reality, but maybe this was a weird attempt at making a false flag attack against the pro russian side to unite them? Wouldn't even be the stupidest thing I've heard today.

I still can't tell if some people actually think birds aren't real, or if they are doing some kind of double reveresed psychology thing like tin foil hat idiot savants of conspiracy nuts, but it's the 2020s, where the US government confirmed UFOs and people just sort of shrugged and went on with their lives.

Occam's Razor enters the chat:

this was an act of a lone gunman who had a grudge against the victim. There is no conspiracy

Maybe the conspiracy is that people are saying it’s not a conspiracy?

…and now I can finally start on my Jason Bourne-esque series on a WHO-assassin.

That has totally blown my mind over the last 18-24 months. The amount of unknown's surrounding this makes the solving of 'Pi' an easy task.

So I should invest in a tin foil company?
