Absolutely, election meddling and invasions are terrible and should be punished no matter who does them. Currently Russia seems to be the primary perpetrator, so they are the ones that we should be discussing sanctions for. (They also did the most recent invasion, in Crimea). All this "but the US also!" is exactly the kind of whataboutism that Glavset trolls routinely engage in, and it's not constructive at all. Yes, the US plays dirty, as does China, but that's no reason to let Russia do so too.

There is no upside for any big state to unilaterally respect and build international law / UN while others take advantage. It is a mere toothless idea now, these states don't have much incentive to follow it.
