Why doesn't someone just get rid of him?

Putin the putrid, I mean.

Seriously, someone came close to assassinating Hitler, it must be possible.

They will. It will be a Russian. The only thing we do not know if when.

That's not how it's done otherwise various leaders would have been killed over the years. It's all about diplomacy. Unless there is a coup but that means the inner circle have to go along with it.

I thought this. Surely the fact he and his henchmen could face charges of war crimes or crimes against humanity, would atleast make his cronies think? Are they thinking of the consequences?
Milosovic was jailed for war crimes.

I often wonder how these dictators keep their power. Guess they have a circle of extremely well paid henchmen, above a hierarchy of well-paid brutal types.

Possibly because if he was killed off there could be another lunatic to step up, you need to bring the whole lot down.

Call MI6, a random poster on mumsnet has come up with the answer to all our problems that no-one could possibly have considered before.

I’ve thought this too but it isn’t how modern politics work …. Unfortunately.

However it seems Putin doesn’t work the same way as he put a mark on Volodymyr Zelensky and his family’s head 😢🥺

I didn't know you were on Mumsnet, DH.

And create a power vaccum? Then what?

Maybe he is surrounded by like minded mad men? He would hardly surround himself with people with opposing views. The Russian who stood and gave a speech on the news was spouted complete lies as Putrid does so they appear to be of a single mindset - killers, lunatics

Villanelle is currently busy otherwise she might do it.
