@falcennial imo one of the restrictions that the US (and others) put on #Ukraine is that they can't kill #putin .
this is mainly because they fear the reaction of #Xi after watching a sitting head of state killed by a US-assisted country.
on the other hand, no US aid means that russia may win or freeze the conflict in Ukraine.
then putin would immediately try to kill the Ukrainian political and military leadership: which means that they would have all the incentives to kill putin first.
