> arguably the less culpable the population is
This may be, but it begs the question: who is most responsible, then? Certainly not the people outside of Russia, yes? If the Americans invaded Russia, for the sole purpose of arresting Putin, this would result in worldwide, humanity ending nuclear devastation, including in Russia. It simply must be the Russian people that hold the most culpability for holding Putin to account then.
Is it fair? No, certainly not, but tell that to the Ukrainians being murdered by Russian people right now.
Putin is responsible, and the higher-ups.
But since Putin does have fairly high approval, the population is somewhat responsible too.
Yes of course, but Putin isn’t going to hold himself to account, so the question is, who is next in line to hold him to account.
