I believe President Obama can seriously punish Russia's Putin with the following actions:
- Convince the Russian people to insist on Obama Care. Currently Russian employers are expected to provide health care.
- Have the UN ban Russia's use of coal.
- Cajole the Russian people into disallowing drilling on domestic lands.
- Raise Russian minimum wage.
- Suggest to Russian people that all employees get overtime pay.
- Have UN demand that Russia pay welfare to illegal immigrants.
- Have the UN demand that Russia send money to nations that hate them and
support it's enemies.
These actions would probably destroy Russia's economy, after all it worked
here.
