It's insane to me how you can defend Russian imperialism while criticizing American imperialism in the same sentence. Moscow invaded Ukraine twice in the last 15 years. So yes the current Russian regime is an enemy to Ukraine, Europe and the US. Russia is a master in playing the victim and blaming its internal problems on external forces. Putins crying about NATO expansion and foreign agents manipulating the population was basically just projection because that is what Russia has been doing since the times of the Sowjet Union.

Regarding USAID: During researching topics in health care the research was often funded by USAID and these topics were definitely interesting and good and allowed smaller startups to exist. So this funding did a lot of good and created technology and research jobs in the US that are probably gone now.
