Could the world - outside the UN structure - put a hit on Putin?

[OAITW r.2.0]

When the UN Security Council is 60% authoritarian dictatorships, it's not happening at the UN....but that does not preclude the world's interest in liquidating Putin. Power struggle, for sure, but I think a Russian vision of a conservative social democracy could happen post-Putin.

1. I'd say it's in the works

"Day of the Jackal" sort of thing

2. I always think "if there is a will, there's a way"

But I am not so sure now. There are too many mass murderous dictators that should have been easily taken out in the past but for some reason it never happens. Did those who attempted to assassinate Hitler scare future assassins? I used to think the CIA had connections but now I am doubtful about their abilities as well

3. I have no doubt that...

Somewhere there are conversations about it, couldn't say where but there certainly have been and are ongoing.

Problem is, the perp has insulated himself from being assassinated for decades and has a pretty stout barrier from harm. Not as easy task getting near him. Hopefully one of his faithful turn on him and do him in and soon.

4. I'm good with a financial hit.

The other kind is bad Karma and can lead to a monster on the lose. A tool for any kind of revenge is evil. Justice is the goal.

5. Putin's fall needs to come from inside Russia.

Otherwise, not much changes.

6. Easily, countries have quietly done it on occasion.

Israel has done it on several occasions. The assassination of Gerald Bull has always fascinated me
