It's crazy how this is brushed off as some type of quaint news.

If this had been some other country targeting US leaders, people would be demanding blood.

Meanwhile the US goes nuts over alleged Russian influence over the election. Imagine someone tried to assassinate the POTUS, they'd turn this planet into a fireball.

so why would people fight or revolt if anyone tries to assassinate someone with poor legitimacy in the first place ?
