Make them pay dearly every time there's even reasonable suspicion that Russia has messed with Western/NATO technological infrastructure.

There’s loads more we can do but the Russian government might just collapse if they go too far attacking western assets. They know there will be a response “at a time and place of our choosing” and cutting the Internet properly will be extremely expensive for Russia, they will have no banking system at all and we will give Ukraine weapons to attack their oil infrastructure.

What do you mean "pay dearly" Not more violence I hope...

Imagine if every bad thing USA did... people want USA to "pay dearly"...

It is not the time to call “but US also did it” card.

When thug attacks, what do you do?

First off, whataboutism is a logical fallacy.

Second, Afghanistan is nothing if not a bunch of people who wanted to make the US "pay dearly", even if to their personal and national detriment.

Third, there's a way for the Russians to avoid consequences: stop attacking Western digital infrastructure.
