Russia also stopped any fuckery from Britian France or Spain during the civil war by parking their navies in both ends of our ports for "shore leave" and "vacation". Also they intentionally sold Alaska to us over the Brits because the Tsar had a 'fuck dem Brits' mindset. Sucks that they're still boogeymen, the world was better when we were best bros.
