Russia funds separatist anti government groups in Donbas and annexed Crimea, while maintaining military bases across Eurasia specifically near their former subjects.
Russia funds Iran, responsible for the ongoing Yemeni famine, and as a cherry on top, Iran funds various groups across the middle east through Russian instruments.

China doesn't even come close to the US foreign presence.
