The warnings are only a reflection of stark reality, not a justification for Russia to declare war on the United States.
The solidarity and political alignment amongst Ukraine, Palestine (with the PLO & Hamas), Chechnya, and Iran etc. is not favorable to Russia any more than it is to the United States or Israel.

Putin is essentially warning us of a number of formidable adversaries gathering together — primarily Islamic extremists — among which he cannot count himself.
How woke, liberal and stupid are we going to be here? Islamic law has a nasty tendency to creep into Christian churches, with unspoken mores and dictums, and hidden assumptions of fornication and adultery whenever men and women are together.

I can't take "anti-gay" purges seriously either. The perpetrators and inquisitors are likely gay themselves or else they wouldn't be caught dead chasing or harassing other men who are allegedly gay. Straight men as a rule are into the ladies and don't pay attention to gay men or have any opinions to offer on them one way or another. But these are extremists about separating men from women under Islamic law.
