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.
Lovely pun
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.
