You’re just reaching for anything to salvage your bad take, which has been explained to you by multiple people why it’s a bad take. It wouldn’t have shortened the war, not by any plausible mechanism. The point is that there are many people that could have filled Zelensky’s embarrassing shoes, which was true then just as much (if not more) as now. The only thing it would have accomplished was massive escalation and proving all the “Putler is an unhinged lunatic Bond villain trying to start WWIII” propaganda true, and justifying direct NATO military action against Russia.
But sure, let’s go with it, personally I wish Putin had kidnapped Biden! Talk about a missed opportunity. Guess he still could kidnap Trump. Just think of what that would do to US morale!
I mean the reality is that Russia tried because it is the obvious move to make. I’ve just had fun seeing what sort of stuff people come up to explain why they didn’t manage to actually do it, unlike the US with Maduro.
The whole thing is silly, if they could’ve ended the war with taking out Zelensky and other top leaders and taken over Kyiv of course they would have. Didn’t manage to though.
Don’t bother with this person. They are completely detached from reality and have refused to engage with multiple people like yourself trying to explain this to them.
