So the guy is Slovak, not Ukrainian, and his motivation was Slovak domestic politics, not Russia vs. Ukraine.

Good to hear.  Sure don't need a repeat of World War 1.

Fico doesn't like Ukraine's Zelenskyy, so the media call him "Pro Putin."  I think that might be a bit of a leap.

That is why I am so familiar with the tactic.

I don't believe anyone thought he was Ukrainian. He was one of Fico's constituents who disagreed with at least one of his policies - whether it was his position on Ukraine or something else.

See post #22 of this thread. While orcish claim is about the shooter's wife, it implies he is also. And as I also pointed out, the shooter was POed about domestic Slovak government doings, not matters Ukrainian.

I expressly noted that the allegations of post #22 were unconfirmed. There's a lot of speculation, and none of us knows exactly what motivated the attack.
