Most civilization is not in Eastern Europe though, Russia is not a threat outside of its immediate proximity and its relative strength has only lessened over the decades

At this point the US is arguably a much larger threat to random small countries. "We will make so much money if we find a reason to attack <your country>" is the real threat, if any. Of course, far behind other existential threats.

Explain this[1] then. If you think they aren't doing this outside eastern Europe, do I have some news for you. Comments are pretty telling too. And If the scenario described in the video rings some bells surrounding all elections in the democratic world over the last decade, congrats.

Russia is not a _physical_ threat outside of its immediate proximity.

But they invest large amounts of money to propaganda channels everywhere, have direct military influence in large parts of Africa, are known to poison people in the UK and elsewhere, etc.

A country with hypersonic missiles and the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons on the planet is only a threat inside its immediate proximity?
