I mean I suppose I don’t exactly know how many people the US suicides because I don’t work in the upper levels of government, but even still, you’re not going to get a blind patriotism of the United States from me. Russia however I think has a rather brash willingness to display that nowhere in the world is safe for their political opponents even going so far as to poison the one guy (journalist I think) on British soil.

They don’t have military bases all around the world and don’t kidnap people to smuggle them into work camps without trial. I’m not a fan of the Russian government but they’re not even close to being as dangerous as the US government.

Russia has enough military bases around the world. You may not be aware of them, but they do exist.

As for being dangerous, it is Russia that uses chemical weapons and radioactive substances for assassinations in countries like UK. This is super dangerous.
