They don’t exist at the magnitude you think. We don’t have space lasers that can attack ground targets yet and probably never will. At best they can jam certain systems like drones.
Only for solid state lasers. There are other kinds though. But they would still be fairly impractical and heavy to have in orbit. And wouldn’t be good for much more than one shot
But if it’s the same space lasers they are using on Maui that nobody seems to be able to detect it’s source, then wouldn’t the same thing apply if they used it on Russia?
But that would put the US into direct conflict with Russia. Military lasers are definitely a thing

I mean we could, but we’d secretly have to get four battery modules each the size of the international space station into orbit.

I think you underestimate current military capabilities which are decades beyond public knowledge tech.
Physics does have some solid limits though. The amount of power required for lasers to travel miles through atmosphere is massive.
