Trust me, I've been following this stuff as well. I am no fan of america, but saying its better than russia is just objectively bad.

America is way more democratic.

and i'm literally on the receiving end of US and european imperialism. the US sponsored a brutal military dictatorship in my country and on most of our neighbours, and still sponsors the plundering of our natural resources and workforce. shit, they tried to put a dictator in power in here recently, we barely escaped.

modern-day russia doesn't have as much influence throughout the world, nor does it have as bloody military by a big margin.

What the U.S did was terrible, obviously. That should go without saying.

Although, I'm pretty sure Russia does have influence, with all the troll farms and whatnot.
