military responses are completely off the table bu there is still a lot us and europe can do
1. no visas for any russian officials or their familys. a lot of high up russians like to go shopping in the west or send their wifres on shopping sprees to the west,especially since a lot of them have gotten very wealthy off what they have stolen. stop them form traveling to the west. no more shopping sprees in london or new york
2. cut of the russian banking system from the west. isolate the russian banks. this will have the effect of causing a russian financial crisis and will put pressure on putin to reverse course
3. toss russia out of the g-8
4. europe shoud stop imports to russia. stores will rapidly become barren in russia liek tghe old soviet days
