if I remember correctly, assassination of state leaders is supposed to be illegal under international law. even if the US and Israel do it on a whim.
it’s also not a good idea when the leader has iron control over a nuclear capable nation that would fall into the hands of his ultra nationalist henchmen when he dies. it’s an even worse idea when the US is ruled by a senile despot with a crush on Putin.
The main issue, are the non Russian state leaders. If the Chinese believe you attacked Xi for example.
If you kill Putin, that would bring in a new leader. It is hard to say who exactly and more so what he will do. That might be nuking Ukraine, but also making a peace deal, to bring in Western money.
