all we have accomplished is starving the people, the dictators are still there.

But the more damage sanctions cause to Russia's economy, they less resources they'll have to toss at the war effort.
Start hitting their primary exports, which have so far been excluded from sanctions, and their economy will crumble.

Sanctions will be involved but won't force Putin directly The sanctions will turn other Russians against Putin and they will eliminate him one way or another.

Or Putin dies
Whichever comes first.

... so I wouldn't expect them to leave any time soon.

Bad.
