I think many would agree that Putin is a modern-day Hitler: a complete scumbag, a fascist, and a bastard. Would you kill Putin? Some people will now start protesting that "all lives are precious and equal." And I will answer: why do you think so? Do you think you have never killed anyone in your life, even indirectly? A guy who dumped a girl, and she, after 2-3 more guys, drank herself to death because "nobody loves me, they just use me." Isn't the first guy to blame? Indirectly, they are all to blame for destroying her psyche. I think the logic is clear. Give me a gun and put Putin in front of me—I'll think for 2–3 seconds max. Then—bang. Dead body. Oh no, wait, I lied: of course, I'll first make sure that I won't get in trouble for this kill (at least not in a bad way).
