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

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.
