Also the US has never met Russia in an overt war. Not that I ever want them to either but your point is again invalid. There is a reason US pulls it's weight in diplomacy and military and currency are two big factors for this. Denying this is just you being delusional. Also US , barring the current govt., has always been very welcoming to immigrants. Every country has flaws but this country gave me and countless others an opportunity and a voice. That alone separates the US from many other countries.
