How other nations have behaved, including the United States, does not add or take anything away from the behavior of the Russians, then Soviets, then Russians again. You may argue the details, but the history of Russian since the communists took over has been one of constantly fucking with other countries, either to turn them to the Russian-Soviet sphere of influence, or simply to screw them over so American did not benefit from their prosperity. Your "lying media" trope, as if all of history was some sort of wild fiction written by cabals only since the invention of the internet, makes you sound like a moon-landing denier.
