> Who are western interests more likely to obtain an attack from, China or Russia? <
Russian leaders might have designs on a few neighboring territories. But they have no desire to take over an entire hemisphere. The thought has probably never even crossed their minds.

Long story short, the Commie version of Mr. Big believes it's their destiny to rule the world. Like a country with billions of Hillary Clintons, all believing that they've been cheated out their rightful place at the top. And they are now plotting their campaigns, hellbent on revenge and our total annihilation.
