Even MTG is calling him out for this.

While many agree, it's dangerous and illegal provocation on part of a sitting senator.

That's what happens when your culture centers around vapid tough-talk. Right or wrong, you shouldn't come out and say that. Let alone just to satisfy your ego and beat your chest. We (should) have higher standards for our political representatives' behavioral conduct.

I suggest he go sneak in Russia and do it himself.

Wow, this maybe the only time I will strongly agree with MTG.

The problem is that there is a segment of the right that views anything less than “vapid tough-talk” as a sign of weakness.

Those types of "alpha males" tend to die pretty quickly in the wild. Of course, they're not really fighting any of their own battles, are they?

That was totally stupid and insane. As was Biden's statement to Putin that he's a killer a while back (this was before Ukraine). Yeah, ok, he's a killer. Don't antagonize a killer by saying it to his face. Is this kindergarten? These men lack sound judgment.

How many Ukrainian citizens (who haven't attacked anyone) has Putin already "assassinated"? What's the only way to stop him from killing more?

For that matter, how many Russian subjects has Putin deliberately sent to their death needlessly, in his armed services?

I'd say that the nicest thing anybody can do for the world now, is to send him to join all of them. Then this war will (hopefully) stop, and no more will be killed.

BTW, whatever happened to the Politburo? Does it still exist after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991? Have they no say in where the Russian armed forced go, and what they do? Is Putin the ONLY bad actor here?

lol I'd never think I'd say MTG is the voice of reason on this one.
