What do we import from Russia? Hit it with prohibitive tariffs.
What others have said: make them financial pariahs. Russian oligarchs should be prohibited from buying real estate in the United States or hiding money in any US banking institution, safe harbor, shell company, etc...
Freeze and seize assets.
No anonymous purchasers of US properties and real estate.
No Russian oligarch/company should be able to buy majority "shares" of a US company. (I'm not sure about the legality of that last one).
Most of all, we need to get their fighter jets out of US airspace. No more provocations! We need to push back against their takeover over the Arctic Circle.

(32,025 posts)The U.S. can do sanctions all day long but Russia can retaliate in countless ways including shutting down UN operations around the globe. In the end that would hurt the U.S. far more than Russia.
