I can. This is pandering gone wrong.

World leaders and public office officials are in no position to call for the assassination of a nuclear armed country.

He’s more than welcomed to hope on a plane to Moscow and do it himself, since it’s so “easy.”

The only thing that might be working is that a lot of his rich friends are losing things like their $600,000 yachts and if that keeps happening, they might put some pressure on Putin to ease up. Countries that repair their yachts won't release them and countries where they park their yachts won't release them either. Many other yachts are aimlessly cruising around in the Maldives because they don't dare pull into a European port and have their yacht seized. These are multi billionaire spoiled brat Putin pals. I read that's about the only hope--that these spoiled idiots might become annoyed that their perfect lifestyle is in trouble and they could put the pressure on Putin to stop what he's doing. Might happen, might not. Might take quite a while too.
Agree it is tough to kill him...his daughters and cronies shouldn't be difficult though since they travel abroad alot. If you want good hit men, then the hiring of Israeli mercenaries would be the ones. I wouldn't hire any others.

Unless he’s volunteering he needs to keep his mouth shut.

I agree Biden sucks and is potentially compromised by his Son's dealings in Ukraine - there are reports of a bribe of Ukraine officials by the company he was on the board of to not prosecute him.
Stop. Trump was an aspiring Lukashenko. Russia was balls deep into Trump and he loved it. We’d be a puppet state of Russia if Trump was still president. At least Sleepy Joe isn’t sleeping with the enemy.

Something has to hit home with Putin, a terrorist. If it means playing on his level, then so be it. His daughters should be fair game along with his oligarch buddies.

Like I said, words have currency.

Lindsey Graham's words are those of a thug. By saying what he did, he's brought himself to the level of a bully. As a sitting US senator, he represents his constituents. He is part of the public face of the nation.

Biden is slow and timid with the sanctions - he seems to need to be pushed to take any stronger measures he has made. He seems so sure about what he is not going to do but seems to have little idea about what he is going to do. Other countries are not "ruined" because of any current sanctions and ours wouldn't be either.

There are simple measures like banning Russian oil and making it easier for the US to cover the shortfalls that have come too slowly or not at all. The US is currently working with Russia on another deal in the middle east - that should halt now. Biden seems willing to kowtow to the radical left green deal measures even when they clearly need to be put on hold until things calm down.

There are clearly more actions that are well short of starting WW3 or going nuclear - you seem to want to defend rather than discuss.

BTW - sending Kamala is about the worst decision he has made - there is no place for an amateur in these discussions.

If you can't kill them with actions kill them with humor?

I’m in favor of the assassination of Putin. But US officials should be prepared for the ramifications of those words. Don’t have your mouth write checks your bank account cannot cash. If he is assassinated , even by unrelated actors, these tweets will resurface and USA will be blamed. So if we’re prepared for the fallout great if not this is another instance of bluffing like we did with Ukraine only to see it invaded.
