If Moscow hadn't intervened in Crimea in 2014 and Syria in 2015, the US wouldn't have begun training us all to hate Russia in 2016.
At some point Russia and China both realized that if they don't start taking bold action to prevent the US empire from absorbing the entire world, they're going to slowly see their allies and trading partners disappear until they've got no choice but to join. That's all this is.
If Russia would've just let the US do its thing with the Ukraine coup and the proxy war to topple Damascus, there never would've been a Russia panic. But then Russia would've eventually found itself surrounded by a sea of hostile empire and forced to relinquish its sovereignty.
Same with China asserting its own power regionally and economically. If you don't interfere in the growth of the imperial blob the empire won't be in a hurry to get rid of you, it will just absorb you when it gets around to it. Interfere in its growth though and you're in for it.
