I wonder, if it would be cheaper to just hire a russian hitman to take out putin and his goons. He causes the death of thousands of people every day. It seems unfair he gets to live in safety.
It'd be cheaper, certainly, but I don't think it'd solve the problem. I doubt that anyone likely to succeed him is much different to him
Not better people no, but they could hang the whole mess on Putin and have cover to end the war.
I disagree, there is no obvious successor which is deliberate on Putin's part, so the battle for succession will be at the very least distracting for the military leadership and quite likely to lead to actual conflict. If they're shooting each other they're not shooting Ukrainians
I'd be the last person I would ask war insights from, but the Russian state is just one big bully cock swinging contest, so I also think if Putin would perish, in their crashing economy, the men next in line would all be falling over each others cocks to get to the throne first, causing significant destabilization. I sure hope so, it seems only fair after all the horror and death they have caused under some bullshit pretense.
They can just keep hiring hitmen until there's just chill successors left π
They actually had the Russian private military Wagner Group turn on them and try it a while back. Putin spent a couple weeks in a bunker, blew up his old friends plane ride, and it was over.
I think once we invent optics and a missile that can correctly burrow and drill the exact distance needed to infiltrate bunkers, maybe warmongers will be well and truely done for and war will come to a momentary halt on this rock.
Who says that hasn't been tried?

Nobody fucks up the ruling class of another country just like the US. You have to install a puppet at the helm of the newly "liberated" country. So the EU would first have to find Western loving people in Russia, fund the fuck out of them, bribe current officials, and get somebody close enough to Putin to "depose" him. It takes planning and would probably take more than a year, during which they still have to fund Ukraine.
I imagine massively investing in defense and helping out Ukraine will also be a long-term strategy to prevent the same thing happening in the future to the Baltics.
Nobody fucks? Russia is fucking with elections all over the globe.
Well done on not using the entire quote. Do you work for right-wing media?
You say that as if he changed the meaning, but he didn't.
Wow, reading comprehension really is atrocious here. I understand why right-wing media has such an easy time spreading fake news. Even with my sentence a scroll away it has been too difficult for you and some others to read the entire thing.
Right wing media usually donβt acknowledge Russia messing with elections because they canβt admit their saviour Trump had outside help.
lolol none of that is required. you can just take out the leadership and let chaos reign. but then everyone migrates out and you have to deal with that nonsense.
You don't think Putin will have a successor willing to continue the attack on Ukraine? He didn't come up with this himself.
Doesnt matter. You just repeat the process silly. The bigger issue is the destabilization of the governance impacting the population migration patterns.
Once you destabilize a government everyone around that country has to deal with influxes in population.
