I must say I’m quite envious of how quickly Russia is being decoupled from the global system. Might Brexit have happened quicker if we’d just invaded someone?

Yes the G20 should be disbanded, thereby kicking Russia out. Then kick Russia out of the UN by disbanding that useless organisation as well.
Especially kick Russia out of anything to do with the environment. Let the rest of the world laugh at Russia while they struugle to survive on just fossil fuels. We better people will have renewables and we’ll show who is the boss then.
It seems the problem with formal institutions is that most fail to adapt to their everchanging environment. Instead they metastasize into vehicles operating principally for the benefit of those they employ, and the sectoral interests which always capture them. (The UN, and the World Bank are among the worst in that respect.)
If NATO had been cautiously reset in the 1990’s, to reflect the dismemberment of the Warsaw Pact, Russia’s alignment with the rest of Europe/and the West might have been deeper by now.

Suppose you did get your way. What would further isolation achieve?

Suppose Russia gets its destructive military way in Ukraine. What would it achieve?
A strategically defensible bottleneck buffer between it and the Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Syria stomping US/EU/NATO/WEF globalists.
