I would use the same approach for setting up a business in the US. Additionally I would require some huge insurance to protect myself from frivolous lawsuits.

As an outside business you want no servers in the US or use US dollars in any form as you may end up being sanctioned or worse extradited for things that are not illegal in your country.

You're of course conflating problems that are very common in Russia (hyper corruption, few human rights, zero business law protection, no functioning independent judicial system) with problems (the need for huge insurance, extradition, getting sanctioned) that are rare in the monster size $22 trillion US economy filled with millions of businesses.

List of countries currently meaningfully sanctioned by the US: Russia, Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Syria

I certainly hope you don't live in North Korea while commenting freely on Hacker News (which is, naturally, located in the US).
