I do realize that every possible action carries a possible reaction.

If Putin were eliminated by the west, the chances for unintended consequences increases.

But imagine if one of the 22 attempts on Hitler’s life had succeeded?

Is it necessary to have a World War III between the West and Russia, with the potential of millions of innocent people dead and our societies bombed back to the 1700s?

Putin will never give up and take the loss. He is old and said to have medical conditions that are impacting his remaining life span and judgment .

Putin is like the sick guy that kills his girlfriend after she breaks up with hm. His sick thinking is “If I can’t have her, no one will have her!” Putin is not afraid of nuclear annihilation.

Putin is a vicious killer. He is a worse narcissist than even his lackey Trump. Putin will have no problem leveling Ukraine. And when he finishes, he will attack the Baltic States, testing NATO’s willingness to go to war against Russia.

In WW II the Allies had to level Germany and Poland to rid the world of Hitler and the Nazis. Even then Hitler would never allow himself to be captured and tried at Nuremberg.

So if Putin is allowed to continue his madness and not eliminated, what solutions would you propose? How can there be a negotiated settlement with Putin who cannot be trusted to abide by its terms?

If you owned a business or a bank, would you sign a contract with Trump?
