So, we let Russia run roughshod over the world because we are afraid? Authoritarian regimes only understand and respond to a threat bigger than themselves; it’s kinda the nature of the bully personality.

No, we continue to support Ukraine to repel Russia. We can and should oppose them, but that doesn’t mean we should directly make war against Russia. That very likely would lead to a nuclear exchange.

The war with Ukraine is an incredibly delicate situation and requires something reddit is terrible with: nuance.
NATO can do a lot, but with Russia being a nuclear power means there is an upper bound that both sides can escalate conflicts without leading to a potential nuclear armageddon. You can do a lot to slow down Russia, their economy is massively limited and politically have been isolated however an all out war would lead to a nuclear holocaust.
You can't just simply invade Russia, it would lead to massive knock on effects with China possibly fearing invasion leading to increased tensions, same with Iran and North Korea.
