I imagine this isn’t being overlooked by the top decision-makers in the West. A clean regime-change that gets rid of Putin would be a good thing. But a descent into turmoil of the Russian state would be a very bad thing. War has away of throwing up surprises, and the last thing you want when dealing with a major nuclear power is wild uncertainty.
