Should we assassinate Vladimir Putin? He's practically an untouchable dictator in Russia and now he's trying to destabilize Ukraine and generally causing a lot of tension in Eastern Europe.

I think assassination of any leader should be a last resort, and in this situation, it would be a grave mistake. There's a possibility of unintended consequences that could make a bad situation much worse. A better course of action would be to increase sanctions, provide more military aid to Ukraine, and try diplomatic efforts that isolate and economically pressure Russia. Assassination of a leader could lead to an increase in radicalism and further destabilization of the region, which would likely prove much more costly in terms of lives, resources, and world stability than standing pat and taking an economic/diplomatic path.  It's understandable why some may view Putin as an untouchable dictator, but if we remove him from power, somebody else will take his place, so the underlying issues must also be addressed. This will likely require time, patience, and a unified global effort.
