Why can't the United States and Russia get along?

The major countries in the European Union share similar cultures with the United States. Most Americans are immigrants from European Union countries, and countries such as Britain and France have been American allies during World War II. Germany is occupied by the United States, and peace is not good.

Economically, the United States is the largest economy and the largest export market in the European Union. The United States mainly develops high-end information economy, while the European Union develops high-end manufacturing industry, with complementary economies.

Politically and militarily, the United States provides military protection to the European Union and nuclear protection to some countries. Politically, the mainstream values are similar, and they have similar views on some political issues.

The situation in Russia is just the opposite:

The main ethnic group in Russia is Slavs, which is quite different from the Anglo-Saxons in the European Union in culture and has a low degree of recognition.

History: Russia has been pursuing chauvinism as a big country and invading its European neighbors since the Russian era. During the cold war, the Soviet Union even had deep grievances with the West. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has been trying to restore its status as a great power, especially after Putin came to power, the economy recovered, Russia was tough on the West, and the spy war with Britain was once rampant.

In international affairs, Russia has been playing a game with the United States and the European Union.

Military aspect: Russia's strong military presence is a great threat to the EU, and its powerful and aggressive neighbors are a great threat to the EU, especially those weak EU countries.

Economy: Russia's abnormal economic development is mainly driven by energy exports such as oil and natural gas. However, Russia often uses energy as a diplomatic means to balance the EU, which makes the EU not closely linked with its economy.

After the above explanation, I think the EU is close to the United States, and the reasons for its poor relations with Russia should be clear.

Whether countries "make good friends" is mainly determined by national interests. The European Union and the United States have many common interests. They use each other, so it is good, while Russia is the opposite.
