RU POV: Putin says potential American Tomahawks for Ukraine is an 'attempt of escalation', he also says if such weapons are used to strike Russia, the response would be 'very serious' and 'overwhelming'.

If he takes out zilinski, will that be the end of this conflict?

Or will it continue?

What point is there in replacing a puppet? Zelensky will simply be replaced while making him a Martyr. If killing Zelensly would resolve it, it would've been done ages ago. This is also why Putin personally guaranteed Zelensky early in the war that no assassination attempt would be done against him. Of course the same courtesy was not reciprocated.

Killing Putin would not resolve it either, because the threat of US led NATO is an unanimous understanding by Russian elites.

Gotta snap out of the "Great Man" theory. World acts on interest groups, not individuals.

You are spot on. Putin is a spokesman and anyone claiming otherwise automatically fails the IQ test.

Trump is called a king and authoritarian yet he is the most spied upon and most falsely impeached president in US history. More treason has been committed against him than in the whole history of United States. He lacks agency to actually fix the country because he has to cowtow to traitors and join them in their treason, carrying out demorat agendas and acting like a socialist lefty traitor most of the time just to avoid a third assassination which might not miss.

Extremely unlikely to change anything short term. As with most governments they'll be a line of succession, someone will be promoted to replace him.

Additionally, I personally don't think a decapitation strike is likely in this conflict. Attacking enemy leadership is sometimes counterproductive to trying to negotiate a surrender with them. Victorious nations also typically need at least one person left in the defeated government to issue the order for the military to stand down, and it needs to be someone they'll listen to. Plus, killing leadership figures risks turning them into martyrs.
