Can’t speak for Europe, but the US used the same ineffective playbook they’ve been using for decades. I believe more creativity and more “Is this working?” strategy assessment could have been effective. As a few examples, what if Putin specifically was targeted with information warfare? Leak information on his health, finances, etc to his rivals. Fire up the meme factory to influence the military. Disrupt oil production via cyber attacks. Threaten to give Ukraine a couple nukes back. The US doesn’t do aggressive (effective) things like that because “What if they do it to us?”
