I wonder why there is no assassination market for Putin given the war in Ukraine?
Simple, the TOP-SECRET US Govt hasn't decided to run it yet, despite US Govt being one its biggest theorists (PAM, FutureMAP, etc). US Govt prefers to run plain old murder bounties and proxy mischief as it has done many of times in its recent history. They seem to prefer that, plausibly more control, than deploying Assassination Politics idea, which everyone would then see and co-opt out from under Govt and then humanity use it to secure its freedom from Govt and everything else at the top.
I would imagine that getting Putin assassinated would be one of the quickest ways to end the war.
True, yet an end would depend on if any elements of Putin's major pre-war speech continued to resonate after he was gone, or didn't evolve into new rationales. They could be afraid of Medvedev. Including losing admin grip on nuclear hotheads and rogues. They did miss Dugin and killed his daughter by mistake. They did kill Vladlen Tatarsky. Putin did send some of his circle off to Siberia. Maybe some babushka will whack him with a kitchen knife for sending her son off to die in Ukraine.
