These countries are hardly in the same league as China and North Korea.
why not show us poor Russians how it should be done and lead by example...
Because we know from bitter experience that Russia will just continue to flout moral and legal norms for its own advantage, regardless of anything we do.
England is America's lapdog.
I can't disagree with you here. But the main reason for this is the cold war and your country's behaviour during that period.
Without the US, England would be a second rate European power...as is, the Falklands almost broke England's back...pretty far drop from Empire to second rate power.
Yes, a second rate European power with the fourth largest economy in the world and the third largest up until last year. The Falklands conflict hardly broke England's back, since it was handled entirely by the professional armed forces. Russia would have just sent a few thousand untrained conscripts to be slaughtered.
As for the British Empire, good riddance to it, hopefully Russia will learn the high human cost of maintaining an empire before its too late. But knowing you nationalistic Russians and the low value you put on human life, I sincerely doubt it.
