Russia, under this government, cannot be allowed to resume normal relations with the civilized world

[bullimiami]

Sanctions need to be expanded and made permanent.
They need to be suspended from trade groups.

There should be more serious actions than are now applied to N Korea, Cuba, Venezuela or Iran.

2. They are a terrorist nation committing

state sanctioned war crimes. Their government needs to be crushed like a cockroach.

4. That's the way it should be.

But there needs to be some carrot for Putin withdrawing from Ukraine.

I strongly agree with you in principle.

5. Russia is completely broken up or they just lose Crimea and other foreign lands?

[WarGamer]

6. Who's going to take Crimea from Russia?

Or who is going to "break up" Russia?

Do you realize how silly this sounds?

[LiberalFighter]

8. Silly? Wow!

[Zeitghost]

9. Yes silly

We can't directly go after Russia invading another foreign country, what makes anyone think we will have the political capital to break them up or overthrow the ruling powers after they finally agree to cease hostilities?

We would all love to snap our fingers and dispose Putin and permanently neutralize Russia, but the reality of Nuclear weapons and mutual assured destruction makes that an impossibility.

7. We have a Russian Republican party problem in our country
