The goal was to leave no possible doubt who killed him and for what. It was a warning to all future defectors. So yes, nobody is safe even outside Russia. Funny enough during Soviet times US seems to have been considered off-limits for targeted assassinations. But…
Take a look at the list of deaths associated with Clinton faily: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.php...
It looks like nobody safe even outside of US.
Journalists, bankers, whistle blowers, opposition politician dying in Putin's Russia. What a surprise. Russia is rotten shithole no surprise all the neighboring countries are very worried about a possible attack. Those in power in Russia are so ruthless and evil that it is probably better die fighting than letting them rule you.

Are any of those people in danger of being assassinated by the USA? I think not. Perhaps jailed, yes, but even then there will be a whole raft-load of legal challenges. The difference is that in Russia there is no legal system (at least, not one that you can trust).

Is it just me or does that link imply that the Clintons are serial killers that just haven't been caught yet?

Hastings had a manic episode before he died, which presumably explains the car crash.
Wellstone was being flown by pilots with "below-average flying skills" who stalled in IMC.
Romero was killed by an El Salvador death squad.
So you're left with one foreign dictator, and one foreign socialist politician killed by the CIA. Not quite comparable to murdering your own citizens on home soil simply for disagreeing with you.
