    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

        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
