I suppose I could add a statement and stand by it:

The USA and Russia have several things in common:

1. They are both continental powers extending from one great sea to another, with the Arctic Ocean to the north.

2. The both started with a clear idea of their destiny.

3. They both have serious problems on their southern borders.

4. They both had to assimilate many nations with diverse cultures.

(As for corruption in both places, I will leave that discussion for later.)
