A technical question here...what prevents the world from isolating all internet traffic in and out of Russia?

China and Iran kinda do this but it's done by their governments controlling the points where the internet connects their internal networks. There are probably thousands of points where the internet connects to Russia. Many via countries that are friendly to Russia. All those entities that provide these connection points would have to agree to suspend service.
