Say, a Russian dissident went a western country, became a citizen, gave up Russian citizenship, then putin visits, this person gets mad, brings a gun and shoots putin.
What will international relations look like? Since the person is not exactly a native of their adopted country. Lets assume trump wasn’t president, what if its a Russian-American? Would the US extradite, or do the trial themselves. Would the headline look like “American Assassinated Putin” or “Russian Dissident Assassinated Putin”. Would it cause more or less tensions, than it it had been a non-russian white person being the assassin?
What about like EU countries? Australia? UK?
Or if the visit was in, say, Japan?
You mean what would happen if for example an Austrian archduke where to be assassinated by a Serb activist whilst visiting Bosnia?
Those are all minor countries, I’m sure it would be fine.
As long as it doesn’t come out afterwards that the Crown Prince of Serbia was running the conspiracy with half of his military officers
Is that true? I’m woefully undereducated when it comes to the events leading up to WW1
We need to start deeper than that. Even if the Arch Duke had not been assassinated WWI would have happened anyway.
oh no! here goes Poland
Read up on Franz Ferdinand if you want to know how it goes.
Spoiler: People die in the aftermath
“Nooo you can’t just assassinate a politician to trigger a world war that’ll leave many people dead”
“Haha, KDR goes brrrr”
💀
(Too dark? sorry but dark humor is my jam)
People, and an absolute shit ton of horses
“American Assassinated Putin” or “Russian Dissident Assassinated Putin”
I think both of these headlines would be printed. Russia would blame US, and US would blame them.
It would be a gift to whatever country was hosting the shooter. They could disown them completely. Russia in this case would blame the hosting country for not being good enough security wise and there would be a flaming hot discussion. Possibly some level of conflict and then it would die down.
Nah I think if an American killed Putin (ex-Russian or not), all hell would probably break loose
That also is definitely a possibility.

Um… its for a novel… 👀
(Trust me bro 😉)
Is it called “The Instruction Manual how to Start a World War”, by any chance?
“Well, in that case, let me divulge all of our contingency plans, the exact layout and protocols for accessing camp David and everything else you need. For realism. Just don’t make us look like morons, Kay?”- secret service, maybe
Is your pen name SWIM?

Four, “High Ranking” Democrat senators might agree to send an email.
Putin is a war criminal with an arrest warrant by the ICC. He ain’t visiting nowhere, apart from shithole countries that aren’t part of ICC.
Such as the US? Like the OP used the example?
Yes
