"Russian intervention" has virtually zero impact on my life. What has significantly more impact is people freaking out over Russia. People weren't freaking out over Russia in the 90's, nor were they freaking out over China, and so things were relatively chill, as long as you weren't in one of the countries the US was bombing because there was no longer any check on its imperialism.
The main thing that changed is that the powers that be realized that, if there was this prolonged period of (relative) peace, then there would start being questions asked about why we were spending such ridiculous sums of money on the military instead of using it to actually help people - and the answer to those questions is because it's more profitable for the powers that be. And so, the government started manufacturing threats all over the world and for example, suddenly one day everyone hated China, for no real reason.
I pray for a time when western libs finally understand that the US government is not their friend and never will be, and also not to trust it to tell us who our enemies are. But of course, libs will always be against every conflict except the current one, because once they're no longer receiving focused propaganda about, say, Vietnam, they can (generally) see it for what it was. But if they had lived during the Vietnam war and had been exposed to the propaganda of the time, they would've 100% supported it. "This time, it's different," they say, every single time.
