If you do that, the issue is: The other side will treat the property of every US citizen, company, or state as a fair game for appropriation, and if not possible for destruction. Would you risk seizing private property of a Russian citizen, if Russia decides to retaliate by destroying property of a US citizen, wherever in the world it may be located? Let's please not further escalate, it's time for diplomacy. Diplomacy means agreement, agreement means compromise. We may not be fully satisfied, the other side may also not be satisfied, but we'll both claim a diplomatic win for our side and go on with life. If the alternative is war and mutual destruction, it's the only reasonable way to go.

If there are any US assets in Russia they need to be removed/leave. Russia isn't leaving Ukraine and they had no right to go in and start killing people. Diplomacy is before war. Not after a country invades. After they invade you have to make sure they not only stop but never do it again. If we aren't willing/able to put boots on the ground then any US assets in Russia have to be sacrificed. If Russia pulls this off without a scratch, next up will be North Korea or China because why not? What is the US/Europe going to do? No imports, no exports, no travel, no Olympics, nothing. They are a rogue nation acting like a bully and they now have isolated themselves until they leave Ukraine.

  What you describe here is a full blown escalation that leads to the WW3 in the end. Of course there is diplomacy after the war is started and during the war. It’s the only way to achieve any peace barring a total defeat of one side, which didn’t happen in last 75 years. Heck, it was diplomacy that allowed US troops to pull out of Afghanistan orderly, without diplomacy there would be a bunch of dead soldiers.
