So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?
I was wondering if e.g. Putin could do that with Zelenskyy and I believe the answer is no. I believe the people would still resist and fight. However, I’m not very sure with my answer.
A resistance of the general population would be hard to break, even with massive military effort. There’s a big difference between people fighting for money and people fighting with intrinsic motivation.
