Military intervention or something else?
Congratulations, you just triggered nuclear Armageddon and ended modern civilization.

In advance, one assumes.

What do you want to world to do? Russia is already under increasingly crippling sanctions and many countries are funding + arming its opponent in a war.

Systematically calling russian people Orcs is the worst dehumanising things to do IMO.
I have nothing to do with that conflict but I don't like how confident some people are that they're on the side of the Good, thus that they could do whatever to their opponents. (Cf Kasparov who wanted to nuke Russia at the beginning of the war)

There isn't much more we can do. NATO could end Russia with more weapons and making a defence deal with Saudis in exchange for price dumping of oil and gas[1]. But no one wants a nuclear state to fail. Moscow must be terrified of another coup d'etat, hence Navalny's death. [1]extracting, insurance and delivery cost for Saudis are about $17 and for Russia it maybe as high as $40 now.
Why would Saudi go against Russia for doing something they do themselves, i.e murdering opposition(Khashogi)?
Similarly, why would this be the trigger when the Saudi experience shows US is fine with it?

I called Putin an Orc not Russians, even if a majority supports Putin and that is also not in doubt.

What is left on the table?
There're countless studies conducted during the Ukraine-Russia war pointing out what sectors to hit with full export ban to grind Russian military capability to a halt (e.g Austrian GFM manufacturing equipment for artillery barrels production). But this is very politicized discussion. Obviously companies will want to protect their interests and politicians prefer to make strong and visible statements in place of the working ones (like, freezing Russian assets outside of Russia does very little damage to Russia itself right now, compared to, say, decimating their heavy equipment supply chain)
Business is separate from war (see Sweden's metallurgy industry during WW2).
