OK...let's assume you're right, although you're producing no evidence to that effect. Who cares? Even if Putin re-assembles the entire fucking USSR...who gives a shit?
They already lost once.
The countries in which the US fought proxy wars with the Soviets are either very friendly with us to day or increasingly less important to us. We've developed the ability to crank way, way up on renewable energy and domestic oil production when energy prices get too high, so the middle east doesn't matter so much anymore. It only matters to whatever extent we have to keep intervening to avoid getting screwed from earlier times we intervened there.
Even on that front, with more terrorists, paramilitaries, and rebel groups starting wars in the middle east that have little to do with the US directly, we're actually making more friends in the middle east these days. When even Iran starts to thaw out I think we can say US interests in the middle east are really looking up, and after the Iraq War I think most Americans finally understand to leave the middle east the fuck alone until people are actually asking us to come there.
Other places where we fought proxy wars, like Korea and Vietnam, are ten times wealthier trading with us today than they've ever been, both wealthier than when they received Soviet and Chinese support, and wealthier than they were before the cold war.
Add in the fact that China and the Russians still don't like each other overmuch, and China has dramatically increased its economic and military capacity since the Soviet era. The second largest potential threat to Russia actually shares 3,000 miles of border with them now, unlike the Cold War when the second major threat to Russian ambitions was...what? England and France?
I simply don't see how the political climate for Russia, going forward with more wars and more acquisitions, could be anything but even worse than it was for the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union didn't have many wealthy or influential friends, did they? Certainly not half as many as the US.
