Russia is a diseased country that's trying to spread its rot. Why they aren't dealt with more sternly is curious to me

    because invading another country usually involves mass civilian deaths and should be avoided as a rule

    Nobody wants to invade Russia. Whats absurd is that we sit around and let them invade other countries. I understand the desire to avoid escalation but if all other avenues fail there should be a willingness among free nations to boot them out swiftly and efficiently and make it clear that their dreams of empire building are done and it's time to get their house in order instead of distracting themselves with destroying others.

    there is currently an extensive international effort to not let them invade other countries

  • And foreign policies

    Basically, there's no direct laws to prosecute other countries. There's only sanctions. And since we can't pull them in front of the Hague, we are using sanctions. And with "we" I mean all of the world except for a few rogue nations like Saudi Arabia, North Korea, China, India, and a few more iirc.

    They maybe have nukes

    They literally can't fuel their own tanks so whether or not their nukes are more than just expensive paperweights is very much up for discussion
