As a reminder to Germans, Hitler went un-assassinated for 9 years.

Taking cyanide while shooting himself in the head is arguably two good things.

Assassinating Putin might not even matter at this point. There are a lot of other hardline politicians who supported this kind of action over many years. Their dissent is that he screwed up the invasion not that he invaded. And the public is brainwashed by state media to support aggression.

Russians in general support the war

Sort of. If you look at the states for under 30 it’s a lot different tho. I would highly recommend finding a website or app that lets you talk to people from different countries.
It’s a lot like the war in Iraq, if you asked a 55 year old at the time there’s a good chance they would support it, if you ask a 25 year old there’s a good chance they don’t.

Its worth a shot.
Worse case scenario, one of the worlds most gigantic assholes would be dead, even if it didn't end the invasion, it would still be a good thing.

I'd say one to the chest and two to the head, at least.

yes. lets kill the less capable man so it will be replaced with a more capable one. also lets nake him a martyr.
thats why they didn't kill Hitler

Their tanks ran out of fuel in the first push because of decades of corruption in leadership and not actually having the supplies they had on paper, not because their leader didn't know how to rape and kill good enough.
Also, double check your history books there. They tried to kill Hitler many many times, there where multiple teams working on cutting the head off the snake for years.

They also came to the realization that it was better to leave him in place because he was too hands-on with all aspects of the war and causing them to be inefficient. When that happened during the timeline of the war, I don’t remember, but they eventually did just leave him go for a while.

Since as early as 1921 there had been 42 verified attempts.
They should have called the MIB for I'm convinced he was a cockroach in disguise. Just wouldn't go down.
