Should we pull the plug on Russia's World Cup?

Is there a politician on the planet that hasn't opportunistically used Putin as an easy target in a scramble to score meagre political points?
Clegg speaks of 'Putin's behaviour' as if Putin's entire government and cabinet of advisers, overseeing a nation of 143 million, have ceased to exist.
It would seem, Putin's spitefully vexing Clegg and "the rest of world", on a personal and pugnacious whim, ... to 'pick a fight'.
Russia's negated and vilified as a 'rogue state' if it doesn't bend to the 'righteous' will of Clegg and immaculate cohorts he's sidled up to; and their collective patience is pushed beyond breaking point, according to Clegg.
Poor darling's under the illusion that he's speaking on behalf of the entire 'international community' -- rather than, at most, as a self-appointed fan-boy of those either in bed with the US or those under the thumb of the US.
Clegg begrudges Putin the 'privilege', 'honour' and 'all the accolades' of -- wait for it -- hosting a football match.
Aaaaaw -- sounds like Clegg simply envies Putin. Maybe he'd like to be Putin.
Exaggerations such as 'rogue state', "rest of the world" and "beyond breaking point" pepper Clegg's envy of Putin.
Come on, Clegg, quit envying Putin and quit exaggerating if you propose to be taken seriously!

Clegg's concerned about the message it would send about the collective sincerity of himself and those who have expressed 'protestations about Vladimir Putin's behaviour', should Russia host the football match.
Yet Clegg was recently described by Dominic Cummings as:

"... self-obsessed, sanctimonious and so dishonest he finds the words truth and lies have ceased to have any objective meaning ..."
"He won't do the hard work to get policy right – all he cares about is his image. He is a revolting character. And I say that after spending 15 years in Westminster."

Ouch!
Clegg's European history lesson does sound rather preachy and pointless:

"The one lesson we’ve learned from European history is that the sooner and the tougher that you act, the more heartache and conflict you can avoid in the longer term."
'We'? 'We've learned'? Is this a royal we?
Okay, so what tough action did Clegg propose? Was it an immediate invasion of Russia?

Nope.
Clegg does what every politician scoring points does: he's called for tougher EU sanctions ('on Putin', in this case).

So is Nick a man with a plan or is Nick a man of trite words and easy targets, with an eye for easy votes?
