"I think it’s mostly bluff, played against nations the Russians have been successfully bluffing for the last century."

Zactly!

And every other nitwit think that Russia is some sort of rekindled threat...or they are clamorning about China...all while the real threat: islam gets a passing glance and dismissive wave.

Only the leftist peace and love types are ignoring the Islamist. At any rate, it is Russian and Chinese hardware that is helping to make Islam a greater threat. The Russian anti-tank weapons did fairly well last year in stopping the Israeli counter-offensive into Lebanon. The Chinese anti-ship cruise missiles were also a threat in the hands of Hezbollha. Mid range North Korean missile technology are allowing Iran to assert itself within the region. True the equipment is inferior, but in the hands of suicidal maniacs, it can score a few hits.
