What should we do, if anything, about Putin and his oligarch buddies?

If we can vote Joe Biden into office in November, we can set about repairing the damage done to our nation.

But a real question will remain, and it's one that has been in the back of my mind since this whole nightmare started:

What should we do, if anything, about Putin and his oligarch buddies?

Launch a clandestine cyber war against them using our best computer experts. Mess up everything we can, and deny we know anything about it. We can mess up a lot of their systems. Mount an internet misinformation campaign among the russian people. In other words, broadcast the truth about the Russian regime and sow distrust for putin and all he stands for inside russia And of course, do it secretly and deny any knowledge of anything.

Let them work on commissions... they keep 25% of anything they hack out of Putin’s oligarchs’ bank accounts around the world. Use the rest to provide housing for our veterans and the homeless.

Plant Trojan horse malware programs in any networked power grids and vital infrastructure. Don’t take them down but just F with them, so they know their in peril.

Then go all ‘Cold War’ on Putin with his own people. Throw out (or jail) all the hacks that Trump installed in Voice of America, then start broadcasting the truth to the Russian people.
