The war against Islamic extremism

Octo basically is ditto my thinking. Then we get upset about Russia while we destabilize regions all over their borders.

Which borders would that be? Russia doesn't share a border with Syria, nor Afghanistan or Iraq, nor any other country the US has invaded in recent history.
Russia is quite capable of destabilizing their own borders with, Ukraine, Georgia & Estonia.
Now if by destabilize you mean NATO "encroaching" on their border, I'd argue that it does the exact opposite, it stabilizes the border because it's become readily apparent in Ukraine how "stable" borders with Russia are and what happens when a weaker nation doesn't follow the orders from Moscow.

No, Russia is the destabilizing factor on Russia's borders.

Isis is a completely brutal organization that goes out of their way to kill and torture civilians. They kill children and put their heads on spikes or hang them from trees. There is nothing good about that organization and make the Nazis look like saints with there actions.

What business does the military have policing social norms in foreign nations? Is it acceptable for me to come into your house and kill you because I don't like the way you discipline your children?

Doesn't look like ISIS has signed yet! Can you even engage in such treaties before you're recognized as a nation-state?

I tend to agree, we should just close our borders to them and let then do whatever they want to each other.

I think he's drawing a parallel between Russia being the cause of the destabilization along their borders while blaming NATO and the US being the cause of middle-eastern destabilization while blaming ISIS.
