Actually, no. USA came up with the plan, built and launched the first several modules. The European Space Agency, Canadians, and Japanese have built modules for the ISS, as well as the Russians. The U.S. shuttle was used as the primary launch and supply vehicle for the major components.
Yup, Russia was Mir-ly one of a group that constructed modules for the station.
They have been kind enough to allow us to ride to the station on their rockets... for a price.
