I think the world must think big picture. Putin needs a way out of this which allows to him clam some kind of victory. If he feels totally boxed in he will use tactical nukes or chems out of desperation. He will not allow a total Russian humiliation. IMHO.
I would be in favor of giving Putin a participation award (so that he can "save face") - and then two bullets just behind the ear.
