There a lot of dictators that could benefit at least their country... but, has a US political candidate before ever actually wished his opposition murdered themselves? That implies, surely, that if he could do it he would transform the country into a one-party states... and if he could get away with murder what exactly prevents citizens from being randomly murdered too? I'm guess the US doesn't know exactly what it was like in the USSR or any country where 'disappearances' happen...

But, really, wouldn't it be lovely if he got a taste of his medicine? Violence can only beget violence, and some people ask for it... I bet even his wife is eagerly awaiting the inheritance... who will miss him? *crickets*

At this point in time, Hillary Clinton. She is the only thing standing between Bernie Sanders and the presidency, and getting the US back on the right track. I certainly wouldn't shed any tears for that war criminal.

Probably Hillary, or maybe Theresa May to create a bit of much-needed chaos.

World War 3 is probably going to happen regardless of the US's decisions.

None of them, because killing people because you disagree with them politically is messed up.

Was it the shyness in my soul that made me lonely just like you? No one noticed I was there, when I walked into the room.

Removing one problematic figure wouldn't be enough. It would just be replaced.

The most strategic play is to remove a good figure, in order spark something much bigger.

Trump or Erdogan being murdered would prevent a lot of extremely dangerous possible futures.

Putin is an obvious target.

Kim Jong Un perhaps? That could lead to Korean reunification, but it could also result in someone even worse taking power or civil war.

The main issue with assassinating a political figure to the betterment of the world is the simple question of "what will it change?"

Most of the truly bad ones already have a line of succession. And even ones that managed through cult of personality at least can get a figurehead replacement from their supports (hey there, Maduro!). Putin's already had a stint behind the scenes. Castro's already been replaced. The Ayatollah of Iran actually has a legal mechanism for succession. The Kim Dynasty is at its 4th ruler since it was founded in the 1940s. Islamist extremist groups are like Marvel's Hydra - killing one leader just changes who leads. Erdogan has already consolidated power, so offing him alone just lets him play Nobunaga to someone else's Tokugawa. Maduro's already in a tight spot, but his death would actually give the Chavistas an excuse to destroy the last vestiges of democracy there. Nail Netenyahu? Watch his party get even more powerful. Abbas? Dangerous at best. Even killing Trump would change little - except maybe give the GOP the most control it's had since Reconstruction.

This makes it very difficult to pick a singular person to remove that would actually be very likely to be a net good. The closest I can think of off hand would be Trump. But as I said, having the GOP candidate assassinated during the election allows the GOP to find someone better, gets them massive benefits to turnout and swing voters, and sinks the law and order crowd in the corner pocket. I honestly do not like one-party rule, regardless of who does it. But it's closer to a good result than a lot of the other possibilities.

Angela Merkel, the current EU leadership, all the major left-winger politicians who blindly supported the events that led to the refugee crisis, the Saudi royal dynasty, Kim Jong-un, Erdogan and his friends.

Now I think the Trump supporters would like Ted Cruz gone as well, most of the top GOP leadership would like that too, they really do hate Ted Cruz, so would I , actually, the man is just an arrogant prick who should have never have been elected to the senate in the first place. Yet I would never advocate assassinating anybody though.

Killing any individual will not make the world better. If Hillary is killed off, she'd just be replaced by another moderate. If Trump is assassinated someone more radical will replace him. Same logic can be applied to most individuals, but regardless you can't make the world a better place by killing someone.
Signature is too edgy for me.

Think of politicians like pawns on a chess board. When you remove one, another takes its place.

All of the important pieces on the chess board represent big business, corporate interests, and the omega wealthy with influence.

And here is you. The average everyday person. You aren't even on the chess board because you aren't allowed to play.

Ah! A fellow friend who sides with the Russian cause!

It's always good to know of a comrade who believes in the most sane and benevolent Vladimir Putin.

Stay sharp! Those dirty westeners won't know our leader's power until it hits them!

Hahaha, as if anyone in the US not 20 or younger would vote for him and his evil socialism.

In realistic terms there is no single person that could be killed that would have massive impact unless it was preplanned.

But in terms of global influence, George Sorros would cause the most waves likely.
