The US has done and continues to do many things both domestically and internationally that are immoral, unethical and likely illegal. However, comparing the US presently (even a Trump 'led' US) is a false equivalency. The very fact that Trump admires Putin and wishes he could be more like Putin is a good indicator that the US is miles ahead of Russia when it comes to human rights and international policy.

In fact, many of the things that some people hold up as atrocities of US policy were part of policies that were intended to defend the US and it's allies from the real and/or imagined Soviet threat: Vietnam, Afghanistan, puppet dictatorships in Central/South America, etc. were all mostly in response to the threat of Soviet imperialism. The US certainly made mistakes and is not squeaky clean by any standards. But for those that even consider the two governments equally reprehensible should go spend some time in Russia.

And for those that think Russia today is anything similar to the Soviet Union are also out to lunch and should also go spend some time in Russia.
