Ukraine drones
Why not both ? Using hacked cameras to put Ukraine drones into the kill zone.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Trump attacking enemy political leaders (which has been tacitly mostly kept off the table for, what, centuries?) led to open season on warmongering heads of state?

Hear me out: dude is terrible, but “open season” is kinda what leads to “fuck it, let’s try killing more civilians.”
The idea that countries should go after heads of states that they don’t like is what it turns into, and the people end up at the other end of the barrel more often than those leaders.
Yeah, it has a cursed ‘May you live in interesting times’ aspect to it, and it doesn’t need drones, good sniper or three will do it. I do think there should be accountability for initiating mass murder, and international law seldom achieves it, less so all the time and usually well after the damage is done. A greater perception of personal danger for the (usually coward IMO) perpetrators might do something to check the ‘might is right’ ethos on the rise today, which in the long run will cause more casualties.
To be clear, I’m not in favor of capital punishment but governments do like to keep it on the books for treason. Good for the goose…

It's only kept off the table between peer or near-peer states. Global North countries often do it in the Global South where they don't have to fear strong retaliation.

No idea why this would be a situation where he could only have one specific fear. In fact there’s zero chance it is.
Drones or Neptunes with external targeting from ‘totally not Mossad’?

Mmm… Can you smell it?
It smells like fear.
Your day will come, Putin. Your day will come.

The Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, has likely stopped appearing in the Kremlin for public events amid speculation linked to reports about how US and Israeli services tracked senior Iranian figures, according to Agenstvo on March 18.

Or he’s scared of Ukraine drones.
That’s definitely what he’s scared of.
As he should be. He should live every remaining day in fear.
