    There is probably an unspoken rule of geopolitics to the effect of “Don’t start assassinating foreign dignitaries and heads of state unless you want everyone else to declare open season on you and yours.” And it seems like we’re getting closer to breaking that rule by the month.

      Doubtful we’ll see a powerful head of state call for such an act. More likely, we’ll see some lone wolf who gets tied to a nation that immediately disavows them.

      I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I’d be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.
