There's an easy way to end this war: either kill Putin or have Putin resign.

Great man theory and its consequences

I'll bite: why do you think that would end the war?

This is magical thinking. "If the enemy were to simply disappear, everything would be fixed."

You have to engage with the reality of the situation.

Serves me right for thinking libs would ever learn to interact with reality.
