A 63-hour-long marathon of GPS jamming attacks disrupted global satellite navigation systems for hundreds of aircraft flying through the Baltic region – and Russia is thought to be responsible
Russia is suspected of launching a record-breaking 63-hour-long attack on GPS signals in the Baltic region. The incident, which affected hundreds of passenger jets earlier this month, occurred amid rising tensions between Russia and the NATO military alliance more than two years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We have seen an increase in GPS jamming since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine, and allies have publicly warned that Russia has been behind GPS jamming affecting aviation and shipping,” a NATO official told New Scientist. “Russia has a track record of jamming GPS signals and has a range of capabilities for electronic warfare.”
Never mind Russia, I'd be happy with anyone making a "special military operation" on Putin's whereabouts. NATO doesn't have to fight Russia. They only need the head of the snake.
Anyway, we should start at the top and work downwards. It's a waste of ammo to kill all the involuntary cannon fodder.
If the top goes, Russia would have to reconstruct, however that might turn out.
Except Putin's behavior isn't sane even by oligarch standards. Another corrupt leader would just take Putin's place, but they might not be inclined to continue with Ukraine. They could just blame it all on Putin and quietly retreat the military. It's not the best outcome, but at least Ukraine would be safe.
Lol, okay, that's my fault. When I wrote that I was thinking in a non-violent sort of way, legislatively/investigatively. A system of governance that would prevent somebody from warping the system and becoming all powerful and above the system.
The problem with what your advocating is it doesn't solve the problem, it just punts the ball down the field, and then sooner or later the same scenario problem comes back again.
I blame the French Revolution for giving these romantic notions. On the surface, it looks like people overthrowing the rich. But when you read into what followed, it was a violent power struggle where yesterday's new leader was next up at the guillotine tomorrow.
And what came of it in the end? Napoleon, another powerful centralized ruler.

While this is true, I think it's more likely than not that a successor doesn't share the same amount of Soviet fetishism. Putin is kinda out there and doing things that aren't great for Russian business. You only have to be slightly less mad than Putin to realize that.
Like many things political, you start doing outside political killings from another country, pretty soon you can find yourself dead as a political leader. It's playground tit-for-tat rules.
Plus, unless you are prepared for a "You break it, you buy it" situation, can and always will get something worse. See: the Middle East at this moment in time.
There is no way to convince me that the CIA, MI6, and/or Beijing couldn’t take him out if they wanted him gone, which makes me wonder why they wouldn’t, I guess World War III but it’s not like that’s not already a possibility
There isn't a replacement in place for Putin that would be any different. Everyone that thinks and acts different is kept away from power in Russia. Pushed out of windows, deaths in prison or the aircraft falls out of the sky. There is a possibility that he is replaced by someone worse.
It's much better if he is removed from power by Russians. The next leader has to be different and havs the support of the people. Intelligence services taking him out won't achieve this. Your likely to get an extremists that tries to escalate the war in Ukraine.
Different world between then and now, any claim of an attempt after the fall of the USSR is as sus as an Alabama national championship prior to 2000. Also I meant as mostly coordinated effort
Nah. These are all state actors. They don't want to break the taboo on assassinating world leaders when they do atrocities, because they may want to do atrocities later.
There needs to not be a 'Russia' after this. Split it up. Try to keep the regions peaceful and shit, but absolutely divide them politically, so one cannot say 'Russia' is a meaningful entity.
Africa was carved up with the intent to be exploitable, with minority regimes that needed colonial support in power and intentional ethnic and resource conflicts aplenty.
Don't be a dick about it, carve it up based on extant cultural regions with balancedish resources, and it could work. At least closer to 'works' than having a 'Russia' is right now.
Or just carve up Russia so no part us big enough to pull this shit again, and people there are less under the thumb of a handful of shit heads in Moscow/st Petersburg.
I don't know really.. carving up Africa, did not really work too well. Although it does make sense to divide it into smaller independent regions, I don't see this happening to other mega countries like China, USA, India etc.
It basically has in the united states. I will be killed if I go to the CSA, but I'm only gonna get social murdered here on the west coast. I'd be pretty okay splitting off.Lotta people here would. Biggest problem is water, abd that's going to shit anyway.
