Sure, just ask the folks in Georgia, Crimea and eastern Ukraine, and, of course, Syrians..
THe Cold War was the efforts of the Soviet Union to dominate the world, theoretically as a prelude to the Utopian Communist Stateless world.
To that end the Soviet Union parked THOUSANDS of tanks in the middle of Germany threatening to roll right over Western Germany and France right to the Channel, not to mention funding and supporting brush fire wars around the globe.
Russia having conflicts with it immediate neighbors is not a threat to the Global Balance of Power nor any US interests of note.
Your inability to grasp the distinction between the two is difficult for me to believe.
