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.

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.

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.
