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.
