I keep hearing about "war crimes" and how Putin has most of the world pissed at him.
Is there anything that can be done to Putin in the end?
No one that I have seen or read can see how this goes back to normal. We do however need to start thinking of a way for him to exit.
As for the war crimes, unless his own people arrest him or until he leaves Russia, not much can be done
Bush,Cheney, Rumsfeld and others from that administration were convicted of war crimes back in 2015.
Remember seeing them frog-marched off in chains?
Yeah, me neither.

For example, the United States does not recognize the International Criminal Court, and there is no US law that says if a a US citizen is convicted of a war crime in the ICC, that they have to go and bear the consequences in the Hague.
But there is an internal process in the US for a citizen to be convicted of a war crime in a US court.
None of this will help Ukraine in the immediate term and I think we are in for a global recession
"Joe Manchin, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, has also called for sanctions, and said on Thursday that American companies “can basically produce whatever needs to be produced”.
But Sheffield said America’s shale oil patch — hampered by supply chain constraints and demands from Wall Street that operators use their oil price windfall to pay dividends rather than drill more wells — would take many months to sharply boost output."
"Russia exported about 5mn barrels a day of crude oil before it invaded Ukraine last month. While China might still absorb some of that volume in the case of a western embargo, there would still be a significant supply shortfall. “We need to add probably two, two and a half million barrels a day,” Sheffield said. But he warned that an accelerated drilling campaign would require investors’ blessing. “We’d have to go to our shareholder base and ask what their thoughts are,” he said."

Putin is 69 years old and probably won’t be in charge more than 10 years out. He’ll likely start grooming (if he hasn’t already) a successor within the next five years. Even if that’s not his plan, Russia is going to be a power vacuum within 2 decades under any scenario and if the interim is characterized by economic turmoil due to punishing sanctions from the west, we may end up with a scenario that looks a lot like Germany in the 20s and 30s.
That would be more than enough to offset anything that they have been buying from Russia.
Ukraine war: 'My city's being shelled, but mum won’t believe me' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60600487
They travelled to Hungary, where Mykhailo left his wife and children and came back to Western Ukraine to help the war effort.
He was surprised not to have heard from his father, who works at a monastery near Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. He called his father and described what was happening. His father replied that this wasn't true; there was no war and - in fact - Russians were saving Ukraine from Nazis.
Mykhailo said he felt he knew the power of Russian propaganda, but when he heard it from his father, he was devastated
