Would Killing Putin End the Ukraine War? More Like World War III
National Security Journal ^ | 6/4/2025 | Andrew Latham

Posted on 06/04/2025 5:14:43 AM PDT by whyilovetexas111

It is a fantasy that just will not die. Another Kremlin security scare, another flash of speculation online, another round of breathless commentary. Maybe someone is finally trying to kill Vladimir Putin. Maybe that is what it will take to end the war. One clean shot. One collapsing regime. Peace at last.

But if that idea is serious – if we are not just indulging a lurid Western daydream – then we need to ask a much harder question.

Seems like the dumbest idea ever.

Not only will it generate a massive backlash, there is no guarantee that his replacement will be any "better", regardless of your definition of "better".

Assignation is a pipe dream of the immature leftist mind. It solves nothing. The /Russians would launch nukes in a fit of rage.

People don’t understand that the Russian position is that a world without Russians is not a world worth keeping.

WW3 is what Zelinsky wants. He wants to be rich and go down in history as a hero. Putin wants the west to back down from the Ukraine joining nato and having nuclear arms pointed at his front door. Putin dead = ww3, Zelinsky dead = peace in the Ukraine.

How did Zelinsky get elected?

Should be: “Would Killing Zelensky Stop WWIII”?

The answer is of course a big YES.

Where is the CIA when they could be helpful?

This article comes from a web site that is written by a small college professor posing as some kind of “think tank.” In short, it’s just a blog.

Not really hard hitting writing.

And any article the has “Russia” and “WWIII” in the title is pretty much garbage.

So all anyone who wants the end of Western Civilization has to do is assassinate Putin?

What would the assassination of Zelensky do? He has made so many undercover agreements that it could destablize the whole Ukrainian Resistance. I am sure that Putin has a target on Zelensky also.

A new day, a new phony concern over Russia.

With the brilliant drone attack on its strategic bombers, the desperate need to sable-rattle at the prospect of Russia being compelled to unleash nuclear Armageddon only grows stronger.

The Ukies tried to kill Putin by droning his helicopter. I believe Putin’s response was the attacking that Trump then called crazy, before Trump knew of the assassination attempt on Putin. In questioning with reporters, after a reporter mentioned the alleged assassination attempt by Ukraine on Putin, Trump said he hadn’t heard of that but it could be the reason for Putin’s change to an aggressive stance.

The alleged assassination attempt was on May 20th. The large offensive against Ukraine began on May 25th.

Zelensky and the US Deep State are hell-bent on WWIII.

If anyone kills Putin it will be another Russian. No way can anyone else get past his security to do the deed.

And after the loss of 41 aircraft and maybe one or two submarines at Severmorsk he’s surely aware that the people around him see him as weak and incompetent.

I don't think Ukraine would ever consider it unless Putin kills Zelensky.

The recent drone attack may provide greater incentive for Putin not to do that.
