Besides economic sanctions, they've got military retaliations and the recent histories of Saddam, bin Laden, and Gaddafi to worry about.
Biden has enabled Putin to make more money than ever off his fossil fuels. Iran has quadrupled its oil revenue since President Joe Biden took office. He even removed the Houthis from being classified as a terrorist organization. (Before he put them back) If Joe Biden isn't weak on the foreign policy stage, there's no doubt he's stupid.
The below excerpted from:

40 years of MISTAKES
In 2014, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates infamous said this about Joe Biden-- "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
Gates had plenty of evidence to support that bold statement, which appeared in his book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War."
Biden opposed the 1991 Gulf War.
He supported the invasion of Iraq in 2002, but was against the "surge," which led to great progress, then as vice president, Biden oversaw the premature withdraw of U.S. troops, which led to ISIS taking over huge portions of the middle east.
In 2011, Biden advised President Barack Obama not to authorize the mission that killed Osama Bid Laden.
And not that long ago, Biden said "the Taliban per se is not our enemy."
A decade after Gates -- a man who served in both Democrat and Republican administrations -- made that honest, yet stunning, assessment of Biden's judgement on foreign affairs, his words hold more truth than ever before.
The humanitarian crisis unfolding in Afghanistan right now is, by far, the biggest miscalculation in a lifetime of errors by a man who has spent his entire adult life in Washington D.C.
His decisions have resulted in the deaths of U.S. service members, along with civilians, and will likely lead to terrorist groups once again setting up bases in the war-torn nation where they can train for missions to attack the free world.
The ripple affect of Biden's latest foreign policy mistake will be felt for generations -- especially among women in Afghanistan, who had made such great strides in the past two decades.
There's no doubt about his Afghanistan pullout. It was a disaster that keeps on giving to the Taliban and the world's terrorists. Both in military matériel and a safe haven for training.
