But if you can't do that, and you live outside the west, america is much much more likely to spy/intervene/drone/bomb your country than Russia. The chances are still rather tiny, especially outside of the middle east. But the US does it a lot more than Russia.

Not because Russia doesn't want to mind you, just because they don't have the resources or technology to drone strike/spy/intercept anyone they want to outside of China/Russia.
