If they weren’t constantly making threats and arming our enemies I’d agree with you.

It’s a bit late for me to respond, but when has Russia outright threatened to invade someone or to do anything other than their normal political blackmail?

As for arming our enemies, someone has to. The Russian economy is helped in a large part by its defense industry, more so than the U.S. The U.S. is busily arming enemies of Moscow’s clients, and its former subject states. It’d be ridiculous to demand that Russia stop selling to Venezuela, China, Iran, etc. and say they can only sell to those countries that we like (and that we sell to). Its a business, and Russian defense companies are looking to make a ruble.
