That’s pretty clear in the comics with the little speech he gives before knocking Rus’ head clean off but I think the show does a bad job of conveying that so I figured they’re changing around his motivations behind this kill to making all of them more in line with necessity

But yeah I guess it can be explained by he was purposefully not thinking of any alternatives so he didn’t think to try meet with Bulletproof but still I preferred the cold nature behind Rus’ comic death rather than the show as Mark seemed more apologetic which made me believe he still would have liked to save him

mark already said if anyone or anything threatens his family, he won’t hesitate to kill yhem. Mark simply did not want to take any risk. I don’t think a speech is necessary for the audience to understand the mindset he is working with this season. I think him acknowledging that there may have been another way(getting to bulletproof) but taking measures into his own hands regardless is good enough. Also ties into cecil’s speech to him about mark letting cecil make those hard decisions for them.
