Everything you say is true, however a tyrant need an “enemy”. Hugo and Vladimir have both chosen the United States for similar reasons. First, there is a great deal of hatred for America and Americans from Marxists both in and outside the USA — anti-American is easy to sell. Second and equally important, there is little likelihood that the USA will actually do anything to endanger Russia, let alone do what Putin is accusing them of.
