Yes I'm not saying Russia is still in the stone age, but

Those are significant differences. People in Russia are actively protected from foreign propaganda (like banning Instagram), whereas in the US there's a heavy emphasis on free speech and access to information.

Divide and conquer, a very old tactic now possible in an entirely new way via the Internet and social media. As with many things in life, it's complicated. There are many factors... but I think we already agree anyway.
