    We need to get this guy to drop a nuke in his lap.

    Seriously though, I'm with you. There are very few people that "need killin'". Putin is one of them.

    Putin isn't the problem at all. He is a symptom, but the latest incarnation of Russia's centuries-deep love affair with ruthless offense as defense.

    I’d rather use a knife. It’s more intimate.

    Yeah, but anything worth doing is worth doing right … and I don’t have that kind of time.

    Does Putin deserve to be tried for war crimes? Yes. Will that ever happen. No.
    That said, it wouldn't surprise me if an "accident" were arranged. If that happens it will be rinse and repeat as the rot is through and through.

    Putin should be awarded metals, not killed. He is single handily going to run Russia into the ground without us having to do it.

    He is also physically running Ukraine and its noteworthy food supply into the ground, threatening famine in Africa and the Middle East; Europe’s economy into the ground on account of the food and fuel crises; and putting us all at threat of another global war and that implies. So, no, the damage he’s doing to his own country is not enough.

    As I said in other posts responding to some of our friends on the other side of the political spectrum some of your posts are so far out in left field that it's difficult to determine whether you were serious or the post was a feeble attempt at humor. I guess I incorrectly assumed the the former when it was the latter. Have to concede you fooled me.

    For real though, I do think its a little absurd that people were pilling on a poster about a lady who died in in car crash, but some of the same people are debating whether they would murder Putin.

    Fauci?

    Can't you see the slippery slope you're advocating for?

    After reading the responses here and in my private messages, perhaps I should explain my position in greater detail.
    I see Vladimir Putin, the Russian military (particularly in Ukraine) and the current geopolitical situation through the goggles of a former military man.
    I am also a Christian.
    In the Bible - Proverbs chapter 6, I read God hates hands that shed innocent blood.
    In Proverbs chapter 17 I read Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent - the LORD hates them both.
    Now - to my moral choices:
    If I were a member of Seal Team Six in 2011, would I take down Osama bin Laden ?
    If I were in Cambodia in 1977, and had a 500 pound bomb with Pol Pot's name on it, would I drop it on him?
    If I were in Columbia in the late 80's, and had a bullet for Pablo Escobar, would I use it ?
    If I were in World War II, and had Hitler in my gunsights, would I take him out ?
    If I were on active duty today, and was asked to participate in a firing squad for Vladimir Putin for his war crimes, would I volunteer ?
    My answer to all these questions is - Yes.
    Sometimes we are called on to be the instruments of justice.
    What is your answer ?

    Russia has never been more democratic than it is under Putin while America is turning into the USSR.

    The US goaded Russia to invade Ukraine. Most serious geopolitical thinkers blame America for this conflict.

    Putin and Lavrov always tell the truth. America and Ukraine tell lies in every other sentence.

    Ukraine was planning to invade the Donbas with 100K troops in March. They'd been shelling Russian-speakers there since 2014. Putin legally prevented that (per UN Charter).

    The US started the war in Syria. 600K dead. Putin entered Syria to kill Al Qaeda and other terrorists backed by America.

    The US backs Marxist genocidal terrorists in Ethiopia, the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF). Tigrayan people are 6% of Ethiopia's population and the TPLF represents less than half of them. Putin gave defense aid to Ethiopia to protect them from these terrorists.

    Putin is much more moral than Obama or Biden. Tell me 1 lie Vlad has ever told. Show me proof he has killed 1 journalist. Show evidence he poisoned anyone. You can't.

    All of you fell hook, line and sinker for the American disinfo war against Putin.
