American Imperialism: keep the oil flowing (we don't have to sell it ourselves, you guys drill, sell and profit, just keep it flowing), keep the trade as free as possible, have at least some sort of justice system that is not medieval, don't start genocides, don't start senseless wars (by senseless we mean against a country that respects all the points above), don't humiliate us(Cuba, Iran). If you do these, you're gonna be in pretty good terms with the US, in general. IMO this about sums it up, the fierce American Imperialism. You just cannot put American imperialism and Russian Imperialism in the same paragraph without being a Russian troll or apologist. Russian Imperialism: conquer nations through medieval, brutal wars, for no reason other than "they border us, so we must attack them first", displace 30% of the population to Siberia (10% in gulags), move in your Russian colonists to take their place, install your own people at the top of the country, you can only do good trades with Russia and its allies, maybe you'll have your entire resources stolen anyway.
