"Make Russia look bad" - what does that even mean? I'm country A, country B writes bad things about me in their media, so I will invade them, bomb their electricity grid and try to overthrow their government - by what logic is that a valid casus belli?

"Isn't submitting to their globalist agenda" - again, what does that mean? As you yourself point out, nobody was planning to invade them. Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass with abundant natural resources - oil, gas, diamonds and other riches. But instead of focusing on improving lives for ordinary russians, they want to expand that "russian world" which only brings death and destruction.

See this [1] for a perfect example of the imperial mindset - Putin saying that "Russia’s borders do not end anywhere"
