It's maybe the worst possible way to handle the situation even if you are a breathless US interventionist.
This isn’t what-about-ism, this is simply acknowledging the realpolitik that there are great powers vying for control over the rest if the world through proxies. A game as old as civilisation itself.
We support Ukraine, they support Russia.
We support Israel, they support Iran.
We X, they Y.
Neither is more right or wrong than the other, and neither is the only bad actor.
US is also best friends with the financiers of the horrific genocide in Sudan.
This isn't whataboutism because you're genuinely presenting it as if it's something very different from what the US has been up to for the last 60 years.
Only a few countries in Europe have been more vocal about it, like Spain and I believe Ireland.
Especially, it hurts to see that German politicians are so uneducated, that they have learned nothing from history, and still act by the categories "Israel? Good!", "Against Israel? Evil!".
Actually on second thought even if the US is doing everything perfectly re Ukraine and Iran and whatever and general being the paragon of morality it really feels like jimbob45's proposal would be a speedrun of losing any possible moral high ground. The only thing that would do it faster is a first strike, and probably only by a couple of days or so. We're really discussing that as if "ahem removing" the leadership of a P5 (i.e. has enough nukes to end the world) country is a sane and normal thing to suggest?
Over the last few decades, the United States has regularly been the "unprovoked aggressor".
But again, the numbers aren't the point. The individual skirmishes aren't the point.
Neither side is "good" or "evil" like some child's cartoon. These are merely Great Powers poking and prodding each other, looking for advantage.
Imagine things happening other way around and China deciding to "ahem remove", not even a thousand, maybe a dozen people from the US government. Odds on that not ending in a nuclear exchange, anyone? I would take that bet at basically any odds, only I probably wouldn't be alive to spend it if I won.
