The West needed this plan in like 1991, instead of that Shock Therapy bullshit that knocked 20 years off life expectancy in the former USSR.
But to be fair to the West, they need some kind of plan for shoring up liberal democracy and strengthening institutions in the West too, to avoid dark forces from the Right taking grip here.

Yes. There are dark forces in significant numbers further to the right of Putin.
A bit like how the Arab spring looked all young, urban and promising and then the Egyptians voted in the Islamic Brotherhood.
The west urgently need a plan for how to contribute to building a liberal post-Putin Russia.
