Do we know precisely where Putin is in case we want to obliterate him?

1. Not sure what you mean by "we?"

NT

[drray23]

2. well I dont.

he has not texted me lately.

[LisaL]

4. He hasn't called me either.

[elleng]

3. I don't know, but I hope SOMEones do.

[dchill]

5. Not exactly enough!

[David__77]

6. The US is not at war.

7. You can be sure he'll be as safe as possible

when nukes rain down on every country for an attempt to assassinate him.

8. I was just discussing this with the staffer at Trader Joe's.

We were in agreement that Putin needs to be taken out and American govt knows where he is, they know where most of the enemies are. Stop him NOW! I bet Putin's cronies would be relieved, at least in private.

[TygrBright]

10. He's the assassination guy.

We don't do much of that.

We can, on occasion. (Vide OBL.)

But talking about "obliterating" a dictator with nuclear capability is a poor strategy.

Better strategy: Get his own people to repudiate and disempower him.

Whatever that takes.

helpfully,

11. I imagine our intelligence agencies know, and that they're in touch with Putin opponents in Russia.

[ChicagoRonin]

12. Russia, I think

However, we don't think like he does. Meaning we won't bomb the whole country just to take him out.

[Sneederbunk]

13. Rumored to be in a guest room at Mar a Lago.

[Wicked Blue]

16. Nope: Trump Tower nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. And some other people say Doral, while some say Bedminster.

We're awash in conflicting intelligence.

Better render all four sites uninhabitable, just to make sure.

[Irish_Dem]

14. He probably moved to "an undisclosed secure location."

[JasonMain]

15. That's the spirit.

[doc03]

17. Not sure he even knows where he is nt

[byronius]

18. I suspect we do. And I suspect not a soul outside of Russia would shed a tear.

I believe there may come a time, after we have learned whatever terrible lesson is coming, that future generations will think it prudent to quickly extinguish men like this one.

'National Interest' and 'Not Our Purview' and 'Sensible Negotiation' are all well and good until a man attacks others under the cover of a weapon of mass destruction. That act should be met with as immediate and complete a reaction as possible.

I hope the Russians themselves end this. But as the body count rises and then the radioactive cloud spreads -- history clearly defines what is required.

19. At the end of a very long table.

21. True dat

20. He never calls, he never writes. I don't know where he is.

22. I don't know, but a mansion in Surrey, England is now available.
