the USSR (always called Russia, not The Soviet Union) and USA were convenient adversaries. "we need X". Russia has X. we need Y, Russia has Y. space flight, supersonic jet, whatever.
Superpowers- "we" had to have whatever "they" had. COMPETITION! MONEY, THE American profit way. Space Race!
why should we be friends? the PEOPLE seem to get along rather well. Americans in Russia Russians in America. there is profit in the Boogeyman.
USA is preventing Russia from rising to power.
Russia is a convenient enemy. It lacks power to fire back and its easy to slander for some crap even if the USA has "uglier" allies. In short it's too good for a role of a scarecrow.
All nations can be friends. It's just not in the best interest of banksters & corporatocrats. Which the infamous pharistocracy constantly concocts new "systems" to divide people. Be it religions, langauges/dialects, political/economic systems or whatnot... Alas most sheeple deliberately (allow to) plug themselves into that disinformational grotesque matrix, living or rather existing by pseudo-standards shoved down their throats on a daily basis by brainwashing media, hollywood & Co.

I definetely am not going to befriend them, their pompous slaves/adherents and NATO biorobots, who are ruinging my Motherland - stolen from Russia MaloRussia.
