Russia doesn't have all that. Russia has half the US population, its territory is largely frozen taiga. That's one of the reason Russia works so hard to maintain dominance over countries like Ukraine, Latvia, Belarus, etc.. They are much more fertile. The US doesn't have to do anything like that. We don't even need foreign oil as much as most countries do.
