They hate the US because well, after the Cold War Russia became a shithole that couldnt hold a finger to the USA.

So now in revenge they make shit up and lie about the USA. Russia envies the days they actually made Americans scared, now Americans merely laugh and offer them technology.

Ironically Japan became great buddies with America afterwards, the Nuclear Weapons used were done during a time when they didn't exist Nobody knew who would make it first, but logically they would use it first.

And Japan and America were engulfed in Total war, so defenseless? Not really.
