By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Yes, it has been argued that the long-feared World War III has begun already.  But it can be ended now by killing Russia's psychopathic megalomaniac KGB-trained killer Vladimir Putin.  It is critical to remember, and never forget: cut off the head of a snake, and the snake dies.[2]

The idea of dealing with Putin in the future is naïve.  Like Adolf Hitler before him, he must be removed permanently, having spread savagery and destruction in his path.  He is a cancer on the world, quite literally.[3]  Eliminate him now, and the problem is solved.  No more senseless deaths, injuries or terror.  A cost-effective and humane solution to this tragedy.[4]

We know that Putin has been staying in his "lair" or Versailles-like palace near Sochi.  Seemingly, it should be easy to vaporize that and other locations.[5]  Why should one more Ukrainian die or be injured or suffer in any way, when the problem can be solved?  If such a solution was readily available during World War II when Hitler was killing millions of Jews and others, would we have hesitated?  Why hesitate now?

Many of us served in America's military, and in our intelligence services.  Isn't it criminal to witness the deaths and other suffering of Ukrainian children, adults and the elderly—and the waste of so much money—when the solution turns on the elimination of one man, Putin, today's Hitler?  Osama bin Laden was taken out.[6]  Why not Putin?

Is the world full of pathetic masochists, cowards and traitors, who prefer to suffer or see others suffer?  Again, would we have hesitated with respect to Hitler?  Didn't the world cheer when Osama bin Laden's death was announced by Barack Obama?  The opponents of such an approach argue that Putin has nuclear weapons at his disposal, which was not true of Hitler or bin Laden.[7]

Lots of us grew up as elementary school students with nuclear drills in our classrooms, hiding under our school desks and shielding our heads from "falling debris." And we lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis when JFK and Robert Kennedy almost plunged us into a "nuclear winter" because of their recklessness.[8]

Next, if anything "untoward" should happen to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or his family, the world will clamor for Putin's head on a platter.  It is just that simple; and it may be unstoppable.  The Jewish former comedian and actor has become a global hero, who would be elevated to "sainthood."[9]  But why wait for something tragic like that to happen?  Putin is a global pariah, who should be buried in an unmarked grave like Hitler.  Nothing less will suffice.  Why wait any longer to dispose of him?  The world will cheer when he is gone.

Lastly, destroy any and all Russian convoys, which should be like shooting fish in a barrel[10]; take no prisoners; and realize that bringing Putin to justice as a war criminal is a waste of time and resources.  Don't pussyfoot around in destroying him and his ability to wage war anywhere ever again.  Send him on his way to be welcomed at the Godless Gates of Hell by Hitler and other tyrants in history.[11]
