With Russia funding its war effort through financial gains from the close of the Strait of Hormuz, and amping up attacks while Trump’s eye is turned towards the Middle East, experts tell Maira Butt that this is a very delicate moment for Ukraine
Great question. Putin is like Trump. He acts like he’s under constant threat. So if an attempt on his life fails, it just becomes another propaganda point about Russians being under threat of the West. Something that most of them are now completely sick of hearing. So it would be a piece of news immediately doubted as real, as it’s distributed through the same propaganda channels as his actual propaganda.
Worst thing: Putin would retaliate. But he currently has no army or soldiers to do so. So he’d threaten nukes as he already has, and immediately be ignored as he always is.
If the US tried to kill Putin, and failed, he’d cry wolf to an uncaring world that’s heard him say the same for decades. His complaints will fall on deaf ears until the next attempt is successful.
