I think Nations should take lessons from Donald J Trump on

How not to get into a full scale war and yet take the main culprit out. Vladimir could have done so long back with Ukraine but then how could it have been called a war? How would a million people die then?
Maybe there still are people who don't like Trump's move but I love it.

And from my childhood days, I always thought why Nations get into war with each other when they could minimalize it by Just taking out the president or the main king. Today, My childhood question got answered. Thanks to DJT.

Has that worked in the past? It's been tried but I suspect that the only cases where it might work is when the head of state is despised by the vast majority of the people in their country and where the backers of the assassin do not have any territorial ambitions.

Assassination was tried multiple times in the Balkans and in fact it is reasonable to argue that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 had exactly the opposite effect, it precipitated the war.
