Moral question, Putin has the right to

[Benvolio]

How cum no one is talking about private citizens has the right to shoot any leader
as leaders has the right to order airstrikes ??

Individuals are entitled to kill in self defense under certain circumstances. Nations are entitled to defend their countries. Saudis are attempting to prevent attacks by Yemenis., but i don't claim to know much about it.

It is very simple. Government leaders are protected under by virtue of representing the state...unless they are ordering war crimes.

To to kill an individual ordering on behalf of the state is to defy the will of the people (state) and is therefore political assassination.

Which of course, is not permissable.

And why do you think that removing a couple of bad guys clears up the mess. Their replacements are ofter worse.

1/ not sure that ordering airstrikes on civilians isn't a crime
2/ who says political assassination is not permissible.
3/ removing bad guys may clears up the mess and may save lives instead of doing randam terror attacks.
4/ "their replacements are worse" are not proven.

Say in Vietnam war for example,
if private citizens take out afew top leaders in the US early,
the war will end much sooner and would result less bombings ??

I don't think that is true.
Saudis attempting to be stronger than Iran perhaps.
