At what point will NATO grow the balls to drone strike Putin?
What’s he gonna do? Star a nuclear war in which he will instantly die? Try to invade the rest of the EU when he can barely control a small strip of Ukraine after 2 years of war?
Even a cornered rat will bite. If that rat understands its death is near, it will have nothing left to lose. Those bites become more frequent, more damaging, and more chaotic. The rat cares not for its surroundings, as it already understands that it is dead. You can see why you might not want to back that rat into a corner, as the risk of damage to yourself or another person is too great.
The point of contention is about efficacy. There is capability to remotely neutralize such a person, but how effective would it be? Anything less than 100% efficacy leaves risk for escalation.
Everyone wants that rat gone, but anything less than a direct hit from HRB (edit: hypervelocity-rod-bundles) would be ineffective.
Who would replace Putin is also a question. Right now the answer is someone just as evil. (I don’t know which person, but all the choices are just as evil)
That’s a very clear casus belli probably to even the more anti-Vlad Russians.
You don’t just flagrantly kill heads of state and expect the country to thank you.
Even those in the military who probably understand Putin is a very shit influence on Russia in every regard would have problems with the US just bombing the shit out of Putler.
I’m not against him dying or getting bombed, but the reality is that killing the head of a state is pretty much the casus belli.
In other news, Putin is a pissmidget.
