As a destination, I agree. It's not even close. Becoming an American citizen is much much better regardless of where you come from. 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.
