You got it backwards, the US has been hell to the rest of the world for decades (and to their own indigenous population much longer than that). Modern Russia only exists because the US sabotaged and illegally destroyed the USSR, even though the people living in it voted for it to remain. Then they got Yeltsin elected by blasting propaganda and misinformation, and after their legislature didn't want him to unilaterally destroy the country, he sent fucking tanks to it. All of this happened because of US meddling, that's the "democracy" and "freedom" they brought to Russia and elsewhere.
