    Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Sunday that the goal in the ongoing Ukraine war should be to "take out" Vladimir Putin, contending that there is "no off-ramp" with the Russian president remaining in power.

    On March 3, shorty after Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Graham first floated the idea of assassinating Putin during an interview with Fox News. The GOP senator put the idea forward on Twitter shortly later as well. "Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?" Graham asked at the time.

      Putin's no slouch when it comes to assassinations, either. If they open that box they'd better watch their fucking backs.

      They actually think a nice, pliable, Yeltsin-like neoliberal will replace Putin if he is assassinated by the west? Putin is a moderate by Russian standards when it comes to the relationship with the west.
