“Obviously, a special war is being waged against Russia,” a Serbian political scientist and researcher at the Institute for European Studies in Belgrade, Stevan Gajic commented on the situation of Sergei Skripal’s poisoning.
“When such murders or assassinations occur, the first question should be: who needs it? Russia, which has been attacked by the media for several years, especially in the West, does not need someone to talk about Russian spies in London. On the other hand, Skripal had already said everything he could say. He was useless. Russia could not prevent anything, and Britain could not get anything from him anymore. So it seems to me that the motivation is not exactly in Moscow. And according to the reaction of British officials, it seems that they are bursting into conflict. “
Gajic recalled the loud “case of Litvinenko,” noting that “the same handwriting” was visible.
“Britons can use such brutal murders and assassination attempts to further demonize Russia,” he said.
As an example, the Serbian expert recalled the situation when snowfalls in London were called the Beast From the East, so that even at a subconscious level to carry out propaganda.
“It seems to me that after the recent Putin’s appeal and the display of new missiles in the West, the war party had won. Today Rex Tillerson, a man who received the Order from Putin, which is why he constantly justified himself in Washington, was dismissed. He was accused of relations with Russia. As with Trump, this campaign does not stop. “
“We are entering into a new phase of the Cold War,” Gajic says, while examples the activation of Americans in the Balkans, as well as statements about possible strikes against Syria. – Hysteria and a party of war won in the Pentagon. We can see it on such examples as the swindle around Skripal, or as the dismissal of Tillerson, who looked like a man of compromise. Trump is fighting, and, probably, this person wants peace, but he is not given such an opportunity. I do not think that Tillerson’s change was his autonomous decision. As I said at the beginning, most likely this is due to Putin’s statement and the demonstration of new missile systems and fundamentally new technologies. “
