Is anyone else as confused as me as to why the US hasn't seized the opportunity to eliminate Putin & Kim Jong un at the same time

[swm59nj]

All similar similar leaders would need to be exterminated if that were the case. 
Why not Russia and North Korea?  To avoid WW lll. That’s why North Korea and Russia doesn’t try to exterminate the United States.

Mutually Assured Destruction

Let me expand on that.

The day a head of state of one of the worlds super-powers or nuclear-armed nations is assassinated, all bets are off regarding the global contagion effect and Quid Pro Quo by the affected nation(s).  Can you image the impact on the West if it came to light that Russian and North Korean social media content started to trend to have Biden and Trudeau 'eliminated' in their next bilateral meeting?

This isn't a game.  See that big fusion blast above.  That's no joke and we haven't been this close to MAD since I was 11 years old living on a SAC base in the US.  And yet, we have utter morons calling for covert assassinations of the heads of states that the West doesn't like.
Your people calling for this are quite literally insane.

Because it's all about business. Do you really think they are after quick victory ????This war make some guys very rich. US military needs new advanced weapons, but where to dump all old ones ? You got the answer. Who paid for old ones ? Americans. Who will pay for new ones ? Americans. Who makes money ? Gun makers who support 2 parties. Who is the middle man for guns ? Example : Biden's son (and some other on the top). 

Thank you for a logical and honest answer ... as oppose to the other crap received.

The United states can't just eliminate whoever it wants.

 

If you feel so strongly about Ukraine winning the war and what more the west should be giving to them, go pick up a rifle and book a one way ticket there.

"and book a one way ticket"

That's pretty expansive now on thes days, better book a return flight and give the other half to someone who wants to flee the country.

No, not BS. The Putin regime will be replaced by a regime chosen by or at least acceptable to the Russian people, whether pro-US or not. That said, I would frankly like to see Russia under progressive leadership as part of the EU as well as NATO, and lots of other countries as well. The Western democratic model that the EU operates under provides better quality of life, prosperity, and freedom for all people than any other system *yet devised* (factoring in much stricter regulation of neoliberal capitalism, which remains problematic); this is what the Ukrainians recognize and are fighting for, and what Russians and others would want for themselves as well.

 

Encouraging broad membership in international bodies, and giving those bodies real power, leads to better management of global issues and problems, rather than continuing to engage in silly tribal wars. I’m in favor of human evolution and refuse to believe it’s not possible; if that’s naïve, so be it.

so you want a one world government?

If they eliminate them then they are going to get eliminated themselves.

Perhaps because the people in charge know that it can't be stopped by force without getting destroyed themselves.

Not many wars end by force. Most have negotiated ends.

Would you think it such a good idea when it morphs into assassinating people you don't want assassinated?

How about when someone decides that posters on AN with the "wrong" opinions need to be assassinated?

I thought it was why not take out Putin and the NK idiot, but either way, stopping it with US and Nato, likely ends up with Russia using nuclear weapons and maybe the involvement of China, etc--a proxy war, is the only reasonable way I see at this moment.

“One world government” sounds scary and dystopian, and one needs a system that accommodates human nature. (Communism might have sounded good on paper, but it fell apart when actual people tried to apply it.) Still, we need to move in some sort of collective direction, as more and more broad issues require global cooperation and response -- climate change, pandemics, international crime and terrorism, resource allocation, an integrating global economy. Without such cooperation, we will not survive as a species.

 

Someone mentioned the EU, that it had effectively stopped warmaking among Europeans, and I think that’s a good model; why shouldn’t the EU (plus NATO, or some military alliance) grow, not only farther east but to North Africa, Latin America, East Asia? Maintaining a system of nation-states for local administration while developing a shared set of values, and a framework for global action? Not going to happen in our lifetimes, but it seems important to start thinking a little further ahead than next month ...

[phetphet]

Eliminating the odd spy or dissident is a Russian thing.

Kim Jong Un just doesn't care who he kills in his own country. Probably North Korean runaways in other countries too. He had his half brother  killed in Malaysia a couple of years ago.

He is a paranoid "wild card" nutcase in my opinion.

 

Most western countries have likely eliminated someone for vengeance or to suit their aims at sometime or other. i.e. Osama Bin Laden.

 

But to assassinate a Head of State is a whole different kettle of fish that could cause more problems than it's worth. Russia is virtually a mafia state, so you could end up with someone far worse.

Yes a very good idea. I think it is foolish to think they don't exist. But, they do not presently target reptilian leaders. I wish they would. Start with Putin, Kim, MBS, Hun Sen, Than Shwe, Min Aung Hlaing Mzwati, Karamov, and a few others. Let's clean up the place.

It would be markedly different because the US didn't assassinate either one of those two.

 

Both were killed by their own people - one subsequent to a trial and the other without a trial.

To be fair, the CIA was involved in a few in the 1960s and 70s, but that was in cooperation with domestic forces, e.g. the local military. But this is the 21st century, and Russia and North Korea are not impoverished African or South American countries.

In real terms ? Not different. But under current  geopolitical conditions not at all advisable .

[Lacessit]

IMO assassinating Putin or Kim would achieve nothing. Any leader replacing them would be just as bad.

Both dictators have spent decades eliminating any dissent, and promoting those who have proved their loyalty. In that environment, a change in mindset by any successor is highly unlikely.
