Somebody is seriously paranoid. Don't the Russians realize that America has always been predominately concerned with it's own problems and the average American doesn't sit up nights worrying about Russia?
Most Americans are ignorant of world events - I doubt they know of the expansion of NATO to Russia's doorstep. Also a typical American attitude that I sadly find. What would America say if a military alliance expanded to include Mexico?
True or not, you seriously under estimate the power of the US media to shape opinions of America and most are nothing but negative. I've been to over 20 countries and most have very piss poor views of America: either as anarchy and murder inc or as 280 million ultra millionaires pissing on the rest of humanity. That is trully what most believe.
