I'd like to see as many countries as possible ban Aeroflot from landing on their soil. And ban all of Putin's good buddies from traveling to their countries as well. Pressure must be brought to bear on the individuals who support the outrage in Ukraine.
I’m waiting for the translator at the Helsinki meeting to be interviewed and believe we have heard little about her because otherwise her life could be in danger. I have always suspected that meeting was a consult, planning, or otherwise some sort of coordination. US Christian nationalists, along with the NRA, have been visiting Russia for quite some time now and they held a lot of private “prayer sessions” with Trump.
Never underestimate your opponent. Right now Putin is our opponent. His invasion/slaughter in Ukraine is succeeding. When it ends, Putin will have achieved one more objective in his master's plan which appears to be resurrecting the old USSR, as he has intimated.
If we, and the EU, want to defeat Putin, the battlefield is not the place to do it because both sides have nukes. Neither side can win because MAD.
No, the way to defeat Putin is to damage the Russian economy, peacefully, and we already have the means to do it. If we simply wean our own economies off fossil fuel Putin and the other Russian oligarchs will lose their power. Our biggest obstacle will be our own fossil fuel oligarchs and their bought-and-paid-for legislators. And our lack of resolve to make the personal sacrifices necessary.
Now is the time to seek a Grand Jury indictment against Putin and issue an international arrest warrant. Freeze his assets, and seize the guy like a common criminal.
If Putin cannot travel,and it's dangerous for him to travel within Russia, that reduces the quality of his leadership. He'll be a fugitive for the remainder of his life. He can never feel safe.

Seize the real estate in Florida, NYC, and Park City. Seize the bank accounts. Take everything and see how long the mob bosses keep him in power.
Yes. Freeze and confiscate every Russian oligarch kleptocrat asset.
That would include Mar a Lago and Trump Tower.
Hopefully, it would include Melanie……she could sell an NFT of a frozen smile she once wore as Puin’s “dinnermate”

How many ways doth the world hate thee? Can he spell "pariah"? LOL.

And just how, exactly, would you propose to “seize” this man? I imagine he’s well guarded.

Ixnay Putinyay!
He might leave by submarine but where will he go? North Korea? China?
