Actually kind of stupid since our allies enemies are just as likely to turn around and attack Russia, muslims have no problem biting the hand that feeds them.

Russia, unlike many in Washington DC, understands the difference between al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. For all the bloodshed it’s caused, Hezbollah is a instrument of the interests of the Iranian regime. Thus it’s actions are much more predictable than al-Qaeda.
