Thing about facing Russians is....if you step back, they take a step forward and stay up in your face.
Thing about facing the Russians, or the Russians facing us, is that we are thousands of miles apart on different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean. We go thousands of miles out of our way to face the Russians.
Such doctrinaire isolationism is fine if you are happy with living in a 19th century level of technology. We live today in a global economy, and we have to protect it, all of it, if we're going to continue to enjoy our high standard of living. The Russian fascist kleptocrats hate that, and clearly state that they are out to knock us down, (or get us to commit suicide), so they can take control. "Russky Mir" is not an empty slogan. "From Lisbon to Vladivostok" is the Eurasianists objective.
Not that global Islam is all that different.
It's a dangerous world for free men. Ignore that fact at your peril.
