Nations have to exist in reality, Winter..and in reality, nation a is not in control of what nation b does, but still has to maintain those relationships which are of interest to the state.
Sanctions, at least as we've tended to use them and as how most of us conceive of them, were probably never a particularly good idea. The people and not the bad actors pay for those sanctions (and this might be why rulers like sanctions so much...just food for thought). Direct action against the bad actors themselves is a more lucid strategy..but this, ofc, is "regime change".....so...you know, pretty sure you're not on board with anything that might ever help anyone.
I do think that I have a way to help you understand this by exploiting your own peculiarities. Imagine someone applying sanctions or regime change to the US. Not the fantasy of it, the nuts and bolts of the reality. See the difficulty?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
