Im not sure who you were asking but no i dont think any President since 1991 has crippled Putin the way they should have. Including Trump who contrary to what fox news says absolutely gave Putin and the dirty Russian money (shocker) credibility. Those dozen or so oligarchs that keep Putin in power need to be directly sanctioned. London is flooded with billions of dollars of dirty Russian money. The German pipeline has to be shut down. The problem is money always comes first in every country and it has to stop. We (i mean everyone besides China, and Iran basically) could absolutely cut off and cripple Putin and his billionaire thugs. The problem again is that it will effect the economy (in the short term) and certain citizens will go crazy because they can’t see the forest thru the trees. Fox news will say look what Biden did to the economy. Right wing media all over the world will go full uproar because their pockets get light for a time. It always comes back to money over life. It is a real slippery slope.
