Based on whose reporting? Nowadays, money goes in and then goes out of Russia with little transparency.

With only a 17 percent debt ratio- I would say definitely not- the US debt to GDP ration is 130 percent. Russia has one of the lowest debt ratios in the world- which makes them one of the most financially secure nations in the world.
The US ( and West) are broke, and can never pay off their debt- Russia can.
