Tacking onto to that. I’ve read that historically things get worse not better in a power vacuum after a supreme leader’s death. As Putin isn’t going to relinquish power prior to his demise and he has such total control over Russia, it’s going to get worse not better once he’s gone. I can’t imagine there’s a secret pro-democracy figure in the cabal that can wrest control of the military and state to transform Russia in the next era. It’s likely that the next leader is more antagonistic towards the west as they try to consolidate power and quell domestic unrest by asserting that “external forces” are oppressing Russia. Regime change is going to be destabilizing and dangerous.
I’m glad there’s one person with sense in this thread. Who would’ve thought my least popular comment in the Fediverse would be calling for caution over starting WW3?
These idiots here can forfeit their own lives if they want, but don’t forfeit my little girl’s life because you’re too lazy to open a psychology and a history book. You don’t assassinate world leaders on foreign soil and get away with it, scot free.
I’m rather surprised by the disproportionate voting as well. I was just playing devils advocate tbh.
For the record, I’ve not voted either way on anything in this thread. I will say, you seem to be taking this far more seriously than perhaps you should. This isn’t the war room; it’s a throwaway convo with strangers about hypotheticals…

I don’t think anyone here is seriously in favor of killing him. Just jokes and crossed fingers.
How often do you down vote online comments as a joke? Well I got a whole bunch of em in this thread. I’m sure war is all jokes to the people here. Smh
