A lot of the wars/conflicts that you've mentioned as Russia being a "problem" were none other than their national support behind their interest groups, that doesn't make them inherently wrong, but it's just like changing United States to Russia in that sentence and coming out with the same thing: countries that use war to support political interest groups.
Just because the United States decided to go against the orders of every peace organization internationally to fight these wars doesn't mean its ideas are unique, nor does it mean the United States is the only one "brave" enough to fight these conflicts, it means that the leaders of the time period thought it okay to submit the citizens of their country into places they didn't want to be, their families didn't want them to be, and where the only support was from the tyrants behind the missile launch command buttons.

"Our problem" nice try. Tell that to the Jews saved from the Nazis. Tell that to the Taxation without Representation. Tell that to the victims of 9/11. Tell that to thousands that died in the genocide war from Saddam. Liberty and freedom is our fight. If heart ain't in it, get the Hell out or Vote.
As a side note that is what Our soldiers signed up for... to fight for the oppressed of the world. Get a Clue
