Of course Putin and cronies won't get affected and won't stop the war because they are old and have already lived a full life and they are still the richest Russians.
The entire episode of Putin has convinced me that as a human organizational structure - Leaders must have an expiration date and there has to be a system to preemptively eject politicians from power.
Of course, people in leadership positions will hate this.

It feels like Americans cancelled the money they have printed since the outbreak of the pandemic with these sanctions.

Henry Kissinger worked with every republican administration from Nixon to Bush Jr., and even met with Trump a few times. One need not be president to wield sizable influence.
