I wish I could remember the movie, but I think it was a Cold War drama from the late 1960’s or 1970’s. An American operative is discussing the rivalry between America and the USSR with a Russian operative, and the Russian operative shrugs and says something like, “It doesn’t make any difference to me. Every day your country is becoming more like Russia, and Russia is becoming more like America. Pretty soon, no one will be able to tell them apart.”

I wouldn’t go that far ... I understand your point, but Russia is a long ways away from what the USA used to be.
