Comparing Russia and the United States economies is basically based on how weak analysis believe the Russian Federation really is.

Russia recognized America in 1803 and relations between the two were established in 1809. The relationship was broken up from 1917-1933 during the Bolshevik Revolution. American diplomats in Russia refrained from communicating with the Bolshevik Government. The American government resumed
The United States and The Soviet Union were originally joined together by the want to defeat The Nazi army, in 1941-1945. The alliance remained, and strengthened, among the two until the end of World War II. At the end of World War II, a rupture between the two occurred. The differences began earlier, but there was a straw that broke the camels back. The reason The United States and The Soviet Union’s alliance did not work out is because The Soviet Union and The United States were complete opposites, The Soviet Union proved to be faulty, and they were never truly allies.
In the 19th century, Russia and Latin America responded similarly to industrialization in the formation of a growing middle class, in a “boom” in exports and new economic ties, in urbanization, and in similar acts of revolutionary disobedience against a dictator. Latin America, as a result of industrialization, created a small market for manufactured goods unlike Russia’s vast industrial market powered by foreign investments. Also, there were long-term effects to Russia’s revolution in which a socialist political party was created as a result of industrialization, unlike Latin America which was immobilized with regional conflicts and factionalism.
The United States had bought Alaska from Russia partly so that the tsar would not be offended by a refusal. This kind of relation between the two became a rarity later on, especially in the twentieth century. The tense ambiance of this period gave no room for a civil affiliation between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. After World War II, the two nations battled it out in a conceptual war known as the Cold War. It was characterized by a competition between the nations’ political philosophies- the USSR wanted communism to dominate the world, while the US wanted democracy to prevail. However, the war did not come about suddenly- it was congealed over a period of time by multiple factors. As World War II ended, the
The United States is Canada's largest trading partner and is the largest market for Canadian goods. The Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (1989) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (1994) have both been crucial to increasing market opportunities for Canadian exporters in the U.S.
The United States is already a powerful country but they wanted to expand more. When expanding, the United States opened an untapped market through other countries and gained more industrial powers and built a stronger empire. Although getting more power cost the United States a great deal of battles, wages and the need for strong militaries, they still overcame. The events the United States went through to achieve such power and have great gains still outweighed those costs.
The location of Alaska (lying between the United States and Soviet Russia) made it a valuable bridge between North America and Asia. Rivalry between the two countries over the territory began when American whalers and fur traders began to travel westward and came in contact with Russian whalers and fur traders in the same area. The two countries ignored the squabbles for a few years, but eventually the complaints reached the ears of the officials and a treaty was made, followed by the instillation of several military outposts.

The United States has always strived to be superior and it is today the most powerful nation in the world. The United States right now can not go much farther than it has already reached. If if it tries to go beyond the dream, it could become a nightmare.
Consequently, Russia offers U.S. businesses both high risk, and potentially high rewards. Russian firms and customers admire U.S. technology and know-how, and generally are interested in doing business with U.S. companies. At the same time, there is a tendency in some quarters to suppose that the U.S. is responsible for the changes which have occurred in Russia, especially those which have caused most hardship to individuals and to industry. This sentiment has attracted the support of some political leaders, and in given credence by a significant proportion of the populace. At the same time, a strong U.S. commercial presence is viewed in the Russian Far East as a counterbalance to other regional economic powers.

Russia was ruled by the Tsars and followed a monarchy until 1917. The last Tsar of Russia was Nicholas II who had a turning point in the relationship with his people after the 1905 Russian Revolution. This revolution was “sparked off by a peaceful protest held on January 22nd” (Trueman, 2016). Russian people, after being humiliated by the defeat of Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), wanted the transformation of their government from an autocracy into a constitutional monarchy (Britannica, n.d.). Followed by the industrial revolution that Nicholas II had brought, few other unwanted events occurred in Russia before the Revolution of 1905.

Russia's actions in foreign affairs the European in the next 10 to 20 years will change the world in a comprehensive way. The European Community's disregard for Russia will lead them to find new allies abroad. Russia will ally itself with two of the world's up-and-coming super powers. These will be China and India, the two most populated countries in the world. This tripartite alliance will dominate world affairs because of Russia's technology and political leadership and India and China's will to pursue military and economic agreements with Russia. Russia will not choose to ally itself with these countries but will be forced too because of the European Community's and N.A.T.O.'s treatment of it s a defeated nation.

...Russia and the United Kingdom does not pose as a serious threat to the US. Therefore, the US will not treat Russia the same way it did with the USSR. Consequently, the Cold War will not be revived again. In conclusion, in this new era of globalization, new relationships will be developed by Russia and the US. Even though much of the relationship will be determined by the decisions of the political leaders, the old cold war relationship will never come back again, because people, now, have more knowledge about each other and have developed a new open-mindedness toward different cultures. Nevertheless, there are still conflict within ideological and cultural beliefs. However, this is simply a rivalry between the different beliefs that everyday people share. Most importantly, this rivalry cannot transform into the old cold war due to the difference set of circumstances.
