As we note that Vladimir Putin is a known assassin, let us remember that George Bush, Osama, and Trump also carried out illegal assassinations.

It is interesting how easy it is for us to point the finger at other countries for offenses that we regularly commit, like, for example, how aggressive China and Russia are.

Who has 700 military bases in other peoples countries? Who is involved in a series of never ending wars which we customarily end up losing?

Our hypocrisy is notable.

Considering that the US government created and funded the coronavirus bioweapon, along with the covid death shot as a bioweapon, hard to deny that the US government are the baddies.

Much appreciate your observations here, Michael. Indeed. No one is more guilty of murder, resource plundering and wars of aggression than the US.

Putin was an attorney for the intelligence service. Not exactly what comes to mind when one hears the word "agent."

These questions occur to me as I read the comment thread: Has he personally assassinated anyone, or is this term being used more broadly? The three POTUS mentioned above are not commonly referred to as "known assassins." Do we reserve such monikers for America's enemies? Where is the evidence of his enemies falling off balconies? I've heard the claims, too, but where is the evidence? He's been the favorite boogie man of the west for more than two decades.

I've heard Western journalists now living in Russia say that there are more political prisoners in the US than Russia. They also talk about how safe the big cities are. I suspect that myth has more to do with most Americans' ideas of reality in that maligned country than truth. The US has done its best to destroy it from within since the end of WWII, icing that cake with their puppet, Yeltzin.

The US no longer has the moral authority to criticize any country or person.

US has been bombing the shit of the Middle East for +20 years.

US has been interfering and overthrowing governments for at least 75 years.

I am glad you took this up. And well said. And certainly any Putin assassination activity was not done by Putin as a KGB officer in the legal department.

Putin is always shaded by the Five Eyes West as being a dictator, a tyrant and authoritarian and so on. However or whatever the case, the incontestable fact is that the Russian Federation is NOT waging 5th Generation Warfare on its own people like the United States, the EU and the rest of the Five Eyes states do. And I submit, Putin's real crimes lie in promoting Russian Orthodox Christian morals and practices, and thwarting the Woke West in its multiple Russian take-overs attempts.

Russia refuses to be Woke and refuses to be captured by the West. And if it were not for Putin and his backers, and their traditional Russian authoritarian style of government which stops color revolutions and infiltrators dead in their tracks, Russia would have long ago succumbed and become just another failed Woke Western controlled puppet state.

THE TRUTH IS: I now hunger to have the personal freedom which Russians now enjoy in post-Soviet times, including stores reliably shelved with food and homes heated with energy at affordable pricing. I also hunger for a non-predatory, non-looting financial system. I hunger for a government which does not visit continuous civil war on it people. And guess what? Russian actually love Mother Russia without vilifying their neighbors at the drop of a hat!

Didn't another Clinton "friend" just fall to the wayside?

Actually, I think the number of US foreign military bases number closer to 1,000.

I’m not arguing you are wrong - I just don’t know - who did Trump have assassinated?

One can go down this rabbit hole if one chooses so, and yeah ... Trump for sure is no Boy Scout and made some large sized mistakes. But he was not a Pedo President, could speak coherent sentences with coherent thought, and he did not start the Woke Ukrainian Proxy War and cause the rest of the world to Walk-Away. And yes, my daily prayer is for Woke to Be Gone.

We are in one hell of a jam. But nonetheless, it is best to weigh things out in good wise measure. Plus side of the ledger versus Minus side of the Ledger.

Arguably Suleimani (sp?), though he was in an active war zone and allegedly involved in the war, so can certainly be dismissed by those who want to as "taking out an enemy combatant leader" rather than a "true assassination".

On the flip side, those who hate Trump's guts would likely say that he "assassinated" immigrants by building a wall that stops them from escaping from the definitely-life-threatening-how-dare-you-question-it conditions in their countries of origin.

What makes Putin a known assassin? What do we know?

Journalists critical of Putin and uncooperative oligarchs tend to fall off very high balconies, for one.

The U.S. prefers having them ‘commit suicide’ in the most improbable ways or gettIng killed in mugging, where their valuables are not even taken.

Small fatal plane crashes are another U.S. favorite elimination of ‘undesirables who know too much’ technique.

Even large commercial flights have been taken down to eliminate a person or two, or 100. Like the 100 AIDS scientists on their way to a conference (MH17 crashed in Ukraine). Clinton was at that conference.

Plutonium umbrella stabbings for defectors, for example... though I'm not aware of anyone giving evidence that Putin PERSONALLY assassinated anyone. It strikes me as more the Machiavellian solidifying-power type of things as opposed to the regime-change or there's-a-bad-guy-quick-blow-him-up-while-he's-at-a-wedding assassinations the US tends to organise.
