However, it is worth remembering that the joint Reagan/Thatcher strategy that the military option was unworkable, but an economic strategy to bankrupt the USSR was winnable brought about the demise of the 'Evil Empire' that Putin so resents.

Sanctions have been only a gentle reminder so far. Proper economic warfare will hurt Russia's fragile economy far worse than the West.
