    The US involvement in the Middle East has led to an increase in extremism. The US military withdrew from Afghanistan and Western media along with the useful idiots were upset we weren't continuing the war, those same folks are now thrilled we are supplying Ukraine. The extremism is coming from inside the house.

      This and extremism in the Middle East (whatever we wanna define that as) is less immediate or tangibly a threat to Americans as fascism in Ukraine is to Russians. That and the US refused to engage with the governments of these countries and instead blocked diplomacy, whereas Russia did attempt the legal path repeatedly but Minsk kept being violated

      Again I see what you are saying, I just don't agree that what Russia is doing actually delivers the goal you are after, based on our own continual examples that it doesn't work that way.
