The United States must act as quickly as possible to form the broadest possible community of nations to agree that the actions of Vladimir Putin and th Russian government are intolerable . Accordingly the community must agree to isolate Russia economically, politically, and culturally.At the same time the community must communicate to the Russian people that the intent is not to punish the people of Russia, but to stop the actions of Vladimir Putin and his regime to resort to military force to expand Russia, and its area of control, and its actions to destabilize other nations.

We in the community of nations must set conditions for the resumption of normal relations. Those conditions are:

1. the Russian people ad nation must remove Vladimir Putin as head of the Russian state. Mr. Putin has shown consistently that he cannot be trusted to act reasonably and morally in relation to other nations and their people.

2. Russia must cease all attempts to destabilize any nation in the community. This includes actions such as disinformation, attempts to interfere in elections, , supporting or allowing ransomware attacks from its territory, and/or support of terrorist groups in any nation. In return the community would agree to the same terms with Russia.

3. Russia must agree to return of a free press, and to full access to all responsible Internet communications.
