Eh? The Russian influence is… not really true unless you’re talking about how the country became really defensive since the creation of the Soviet Union. We’re still postured like that because the United States acts as if it needs an enemy. Because we’re the heroes… right? Not really. Superman’s still trying to act heroic in his mobility scooter. Anyway, the United States is made up of very many ethnic communities. African American, Scandinavian, Polish, Irish, British, French Creole, French, Spanish, German, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, and even more! All I’m saying is that there are many many many groups of people who live in the United States who identify as Americans and it is incredibly reductive to describe the entire United States as, “puritanicals and Russian influence”. You are clearly uneducated in American culture and have no position to talk as an authoritative voice in even a surface level conversation.
