Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine's only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

I don't think it would serve any purpose unless they plan to use it, in which case no they should not. They're going to have enough on their hands just keeping the orcs at bay until somebody takes out Putin.

To me this is the same philosophy adopted by Israel when they kill Hamas leaders. This isn’t chess, folks. Killing the king does not end the game.

Name one time since Hitler that the death of a world leader has resulted in the end of an armed international conflict.

There's no reason to exclude Hitler. Also no reason to declare that taking out Putin will have no effect on Russia's course. It certainly has more chance than leaving him in place. And even if it changes nothing, no loss - terrorist leaders deserve to be killed on principle alone.
