We are not now, nor have we ever been perfect -and probably never will be.

But think how widespread protests were (and are) against ICE, against the Iran debacle, against even the Israeli atrocities (which don't directly concern Americans). Our People can and do change things for the benefit of others.

Russians change things only for the benefit of themselves.

We still have a future -if we want it. Russia has only a past which they keep repeating.
