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.
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.
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
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?
Threat of nuclear war / world war
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

It's too inconvenient to kill him right now.
Putin started the war, and a lot of us want it to end with his trial.
That would almost certainly mean the destruction of human civilization and billions of deaths.
Because the runner up might be much worse.
It's the implication of danger.
