Russia is a country and no more "Good Guys" than the USA is.  Both are guilty of war and espionage and to say the USA is better than Russia would be wrong.  Russia is different perhaps.
Sanctions against Russia will only go so far.  In the end all we did is force them out of our economy and into a bloc with China and others.  In the end our sanctions will not hurt them.  In fact companies like Visa and Mastercard that had a huge foothold in Russia are now being replaced by local credit cards.  Thus in the end we will lose all financial and economic ties and in future sanctions will be useless.   You seem to think Russia needs the USA.  They would like better relations but they don't need the west at all.  All we do is meddle and judge.
