If we put a bullet in Putin, there would be no more war. That tells me we're not at war with Russia. We're at war with Putin.

I really doubt that the war would end if Putin was killed.

I mean, it's worth a shot.

Really? Dictator gets killed, next dictator up... "Yeah I don't wanna die"

Putin has surrounded himself with those who agree with him, and killed those who disagree who are at all in danger of getting a position of power. Unless you kill nearly everybody in politics nothing will change. (if you do I don't know what the result will be other than really bad - and no guarantee of change for the better even with just the Ukraine issue)

Well it can't get a whole lot worse at this point unless they really go with someone with a disorder.

Did killing Cesar at the end of Fallout New Vegas teach us nothing?

The war machine is too far along to be stopped easily.

Or if WW1 is your poison:

Initially, Wilhelm II wanted to halt the German mobilization, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, Moltke insisted it was too late to stop the complex mobilization process once it had been set in motion. He argued that it was "like a wound-up clock" that couldn't simply be unwound. His words essentially conveyed that the mobilization machinery, once started, would continue inexorably towards war, effectively removing any possibility of reversal.

The honor guard in Russia look like they have been gassed by a nerve agent when Czar Putin of Muscovy passes. It's like a toddler's cringe dramatization you smile at while holding in the FML sentiment. Seems I'm in FML company with lefty. Probably got gassed for that glance in the picture too.
