Obviously You don't speak on behalf of all Americans! Have you seen the News lately! Every single News Channel in US bashes Russia, with all the negativity, and they have been doing so since the Cold-War! I'm afraid you got all this Wrong! People do HATE Russia! and unfortunately, the US Government is directly responsible for Making people think negatively towards Russia as a whole!...
I've lived in America for over ten years now! And I love them Both America and Russia; in different ways! But things I've heard here so far!,,,,are just sad! Sad Lies!
" We Americans think Russian are really Nice people " - yes, we see it in speeches of your government, in your movies, in comments for articles on Russia etc... every day. You personally might not have anything against Russia or any other country, but many of your compatriots do not share this point of view. And share of these people is no less than share of Russians, who do not like USA. The difference is you know nothing about us, we know more about you (due to US movies, TV programs, music etc...).
As for why certain countries are not allies, the main reason is competition (for markets, potential income, political influence, power, etc...)
You don't ask why Samsung and Apple are not allies. In case of Russia and USA logic is exactly the same. Money and power are limited within the Earth, but greed and spirit of competition are endless.
As Max Igan said: they want polarized energy, they want our fear. Because it's the easiest way to control the population of any country.
It's probably better to watch the whole film, but if you're indolent, then watch (or rather listen and HEAR) at least its 3rd part:

Both nations are pitted against each other. I probably spend as much time on "reeducating" my americanophobic compatriots as I do on "reeducating" russophobic Americans and Westerners in general. Govts, lorded over by banksters, are not allies, simple mortals always have choice; those commoners who think that "my govt = me" are brainwashed fools. Nobody can and has the right to force you think and act against your free will, that's why you can find representatives of one ethnic group/nation on different sides of the same war, such as the one in ex-Ukraine for instance.
Love people who live in different countries? - fine, then stop identifying yourself with a label written/printed in a piece of paper that is called "birth certificate" (also with your govt and banking "elite" that doesn't give a f*ck about you). Humans are not commodities and don't have to tune their lives in accordance with some imposed pseudo-standards and labels.
Please, no one from NATO countries do not answer, including the gangster government in Ukraine since you are bought and paid for by the U.S.
The answer is they are not enemies, they are business competitors and the U.S. has used its economic power to hurt Russian economy and business for their own selfish reasons. I hope Russia does not use the U.S. dollar any more. The U.S. and European powers are ruining the world.
"We Americans think Russian are really Nice people"
Liar.
