What right will we have to criticize Putin if he kills Ukrainian president Zelenskyy?

From a legal standpoint, the US has illegally killed the leader of Iran in an illegal war which our leaders are not even criticizing. They are just accepting that the US takes out a leader they do not like, thereby destabilizing a nation of 93 million people.

International law does not allow this, but if we do not uphold international law, what boundaries do we have left to limit dictators like Putin?

@randahl to be honest it won't matter much (or vice versa) in context of the war already happening.

National leaders are chiefs of command of their respective armed forces and thus expected and high-value targets just as other military personnel. Trump himself isn't an exception. They are not noncombatants.

Wars themselves are the problem. Or how certain nations feel free to use force abroad (which eventually causes wars).

@shuro @randahl >how certain nations feel free to use force abroad
this has nothing to do with nations. this is usually a decision of a bunch of some crooks that seized the power in a country and nobody ever asked nations.
