I honestly have no idea. I would guess not. No world leader wants the US to put a public hit on them. That's suicide.
I just don’t get how we can collectively just let a guy do this in this day and age. I realize bad shit happens everyday all over the world but not to this scale for this long. Putin needs to know there has to be an end game that isn’t good for him.
We = the world (outside Russia China Iran etc)
Thanks for clarifying.
All good things and I *think* for the most part those things are happening. Not sure on the media part in Russia. I think it’s time to up the pressure beyond these things. Ukrainians dying every day needlessly, buildings getting leveled, Putin only going to get more and more desperate and crazy. Then what? We waited and have to react. It just feels like the world is waiting and watching - and yes giving money and supplies - but they need more.
agree, this will go on for much longer even years unless Putin is dealt with soon.
So many are going to die, the country is going to continue to get ruined and the world will look back and wish they did more. Guaranteed.
It doesn’t even have to be us. And white or not I don’t care ? Just assassinate this piece of shit.
Maybe they can look at something other than assassination but more substantial than what’s happening now. Take out electricity, cyber attack, bring them to their knees. Perhaps the rest of the world needs to support them on the ground. I know no one wants that and it’s a last resort. Which is why I want them (the world) to figure out a one-time, huge, event that ends this. There has to be a way.
Historically, Russians don't start grumbling until around a million deaths or so...
Before another year or so their oil wells and pipelines will be frozen (thereby ruptured) and out of commission. Likely for decades. They will no longer be able to export anything because no ships will risk carrying their cargo. And those that do will likely be taken by neighboring countries.
Zero offense to be taken here obviously. But how does S2 member Phatguysrule know this but Vladimir Putin does not? I mean, we know he’s a fucking lunatic. But if what you say is true, he either knows this - and he will do something absolutely horrific and devastating to avoid it, or he doesn’t…and that seems weird.
No offense taken.
His people are blind to it. There is really no opponent to kill him from within.
You can always donate to these guys. They are 100% legit; show photos and videos everyday of their supply trips into combat areas to deliver supplies. Nobody takes a salary, 100% volunteers
I don't think the officers, at least thsoe near the top, care. The people need to do something.
The best thing the world can do to get Putin out is to help Ukraine win the war. Providing long range rockets so Ukraine can strike supply depots that are now out of range would be very helpful. These rockets could also be used to stop all supples coming through Crimea. The entrance to Crimea is just the long bridge that could be easily destroyed. The exits into mainland Ukraine are two narrow isthmuses; it would be easy to make these impassable. Ukraine could promise not to use these missiles in any area that was recognized as russia before 2014.
With all the supplies already sent to Ukraine, they can’t take out these bridges and isthmuses? Why aren’t we sending long range missiles?
None of what they have reach far enough. They have a range of about 50 miles. I'm not sure what the rationale on not providing ATACMs is. Always seems to be fear of escalation.
As much as I hate to say it... I think the US wants this war to take a while. Our leaders want Russia dead and gone.
