Everything that could cause mass destruction with people, media, and all those kinds of stuff could be a threat, not just a person, but to people that lives innocently or maybe who are also guilty would feel that. The threat is not something to be taken lightly and I think Russia has the potential to be a threat.
The difference is that Russia has the potential to be a threat and the United States has proven itself to be a threat. The US is the only country which has used nukes against the civilian population. Also, they have invaded 70+ nations ever since the end of WW2.
And how many countries were invaded by Russians? All 70+ where the Americans fought on the other side fought the Russians. You are no better. Besides, if you watch it everywhere where USA wins people's lives become better, and where the defeated Russian people lived worse.
