Senator Graham, and other war hawks, have been publicly lobbying to "take him out."
There was an apparent drone attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence in the Valdai area of the Novgorod region, northwestern Russia, around December 29, 2025. According to Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Defense Ministry, someone launched, simultaneously, 91 long-range drones targeting the site. They state that all drones were intercepted by air defenses, with no casualties or damage reported. Russian authorities released video footage of a downed drone and claimed that analysis of its navigation controller's memory confirmed the target was Putin's residence complex. A senior Russian military official reportedly handed this evidence to a U.S. military attaché in Moscow.
The tech was American. Ukraine says they didn't launch the drones. If it was the CIA, did they inform the president or do this secretly?

I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
