Sen. Lindsey Graham has called for the Julius Caesar-style assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?" Graham tweeted on March 4.
Graham was referring to Brutus, a historical figure who assassinated Julius Caesar, and Claus von Stauffenberg, an army officer who tried

Here's a thought...
This situation, this war, reminds me of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, who on July 20, 1944, attempted assassinating Adolph Hitler. He carried a briefcase bomb into the Wolf's Lair for a meeting and placed it under a table as near as possible to the Führer, and left the room supposedly to make a phone call.
The table protected Hitler from the explosion and Stauffenberg was tracked down and executed by a firing squad at a wall in a building complex in the Tiergarten district of Berlin.
In the late 70's I lived in West Germany and visited Berlin on the "duty train" from Frankfurt to Berlin in East Germany and the wall, which at the time still had the bullet damage marks.
Preserving WW2 history must have been customary with the Germans. We lodged at Flughafen Berlin Tempelhof (airport) and all the walls still bore the scars of war, in the hotel rooms and the dining room. Spooky to say the least.
Anyway, back to Stauffenberg and the present conflict. Surely there must be a Stauffenberg in Moscow willing to stop this madness.
