There are other ways to get him, for sure, but Putin is extremely careful these days, to the point of having food-tasters sampling everything before he eats it.

I think the correct question to be asking is: How likely is it that he would "push the button"?

I dont hear it being asked at all, and that kind of bothers me.

No planes and a depleted army kinda leaves him without much else. But I'm also of the belief that his nukes are in the same condition his tanks and other armery was in. Their guidance systems are probably in ruin. (Like when leaving batteries in a flashlight and they eventually blow and leak acid all over everything destroying connections)

When one goes down, so goes the other.

Ukraine may liberate three nations.

He hasn't survived this long without extremely tight security measures.

Short of someone very close to him deciding to take him out, I don't see it.

But Ukraine has shown they can get operatives in and out of Russia safely.

Maybe Putin will get too close to an upstairs window soon. I'm guessing there are some real unhappy people even he has to answer to.
