All valid points, but...using military force to seize control of another sovereign, democratic nation also undermines the entire economic system.
I don't see this as driven by the US government and as something that will be held against the USD, it is just as much motivated by the Europeans and the Euro. The point of these sanctions is to say - a country is not allowed the benefits of integration with the global economy if they are willing to use military force against it.

History disagrees. > The point of these sanctions is to say - a country is not allowed the benefits of integration with the global economy if they are willing to use military force against it. What happens when that country is no longer interested in the trade-offs required to "integrate into the global economy"?

Instead of hurting just Russia, this is literally hurting every country. I really hope we can do something good for everybody, but my fallible mind has its limit.
