This is a point with which I disagree. People take "moral stands', countries do not. Nor should they.
Countries should always act based on self-interest. You appear to be judging nation-states on personal standards not on historical nation-state standards, a fundamental weakness of American politics. No great nation-state has ever taken the stance you propose. And none ever will.
Of course I disagree with your characterization as well.
