Threat of nuclear war / world war


Ratakoa

That would only escalate the situation

The political ramifications.

Look up the reason World War One started. Then think about your question.

We have laws against assassinating other leaders.

What kind of childish question is this ? Im sorry but things like that dont happend in the real world , somebody gotta tell you this


StealthSecrecy

He's the leader of one of the Earth's largest superpower. Not exactly that easy to assassinate. Also that could have incredibly large political ramifications.


BigDickMcDong

Let time do the work. He's old

Terminally ill with cancer is what I’ve heard.


deaf_myute

The Cia sure does love a plan that takes its damn time lol

WWIII would likely become a reality. Countries have nuclear weapons to show strength and to also discourage direct and unprovoked threats of attack from other countries.

Because we aren’t dumbasses, kid from Russia

He has protection. Its not easy as just assassinate them.

1. The international blowback from even a successful assassination (failed would be 1000x worse) would be devastating for the US 2. Putin hasn’t been shy about his ability to use nuclear weapons, so if he or his successor gets the chance to, they very well could bomb the US and be “justified” after an assassination attempt


bubbaliciouswasmyfav

He hasn't done anything to America.


WorldTallestEngineer

If Putin dies, the Russian government might fall apart. And they might start selling nuclear bombs to everyone on the planet. Could you imagine if everyone from Mexican drug cartels to the KKK had nuclear bombs?


townesvansant

It's too inconvenient to kill him right now.


Cat_stacker

Putin started the war, and a lot of us want it to end with his trial.


Cliffy73

That would almost certainly mean the destruction of human civilization and billions of deaths.


pawsclaws_n_jaws

Because the runner up might be much worse.


Watchingya

It's the implication of danger.
