I will say it---Putin needs to die. [View all]

I am aware that there is some speculation that he is already dying of cancer, but even if that is true, how many thousands more Ukrainians will he murder before he dies "naturally"?

And, I am aware that a wealthy former oligarch has put a $1,000,000 bounty on Putin's head, but that is "chump change" for a hit like this one would be.

Stroke of lightning, unexpected cardiac arrest, paid assassin or Russian patriot---let's confront the harsh reality: Putin's death in the near future is about the only way for the slaughter in Ukraine to end.

I understand that there are people who believe that calling for anyone's death is always wrong. They are certainly entitled to believe that. As for me, if ending the carnage in Ukraine is wrong, I don't want to be right.
