    He needs the Napolean treatment – exile and blockaded.

    While it isn’t really feasible to drop him off on an unnamed tropical island and leave him there, just sticking him in a prison cell and cutting off his access to the media (both traditional and social) is how you end a tyrant. You demonstrate to anyone still watching that the tyrant is powerless, and then you let them rot away and die alone.

    Execute them, and you create a martyr. Let them go, pardon them, go light on the prison sentence, and you just signed up for another insurrection in a few years.

      Napoleon was a genius of military operations. He had plenty of flaws, but he was on another level from the subject of this discussion.
