Will terrorism and assassination rise in 2025?

 USING ASSASSINATION'S AS A NATIONAL POLICY

WE CAN EXPECT A SIMILAR RESPONSE

In the last months we have seen the assassination of both political and military leaders in Russia, Iran and Lebanon. We have also seen terrorist acts in Russia at a nightclub and the blowing up of electronic devices in Lebanon.  It seems the attitude is that such acts are the results and just rewards of bad policies of the victims. We have also saw the assassination of the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a philosopher in Russia. Both this assassination and the nightclub are connected to the government of Ukraine as is the recent scooter bomb that killed a Russian general in Moscow. Israel admitted to assassinations of political leaders in Tehran and Lebanon. They also as much as admitted they placed explosive devices that wounded not only members of Hezbollah, but many innocent bystanders, a terrorist act by anyone's definition.

While many herald these acts as a policy of war, I do not recall any such acts during WW2, were it became the policy of either side of the conflict. While there may have been some instances it was not the open policy of any government.

In Israel with the neutralization of Syria and other setbacks by the so called resistance, it is very likely that such acts will now become more common in Israel. What will be the response be if some prominent political leader is targeted? 

In Ukraine, Russia has not attacked the government buildings in Kiev nor has it targeted political leaders, does anyone doubt that they have the capacity for such acts?

We have also seen assassination attempts against leaders in Europe who opposed NATO expansion, like the president of Slovakia, and threats against Viktor Orban. Does anyone believe that the leaders of the UK or France are perfectly immune from similar attacks.

We would hope this trend is denounced and ended before it becomes the new plaque in international relations in 2025.
