One has military bases on every inhabited land mass on earth, the other does not, your local concerns do not make them even remotely comparable
Just because russia is a failing economy, and no longer has bases all over the world, that does not mean that it's no longer imperialist country.
Authoritarian pseudo communism ruined soviet union, an then thanks to Jelcyn, neoliberalizm killed what was left.
Neither Russia nor USSR ever had bases around the world as that's what imperialistic countries like USA tend to do
"No longer has bases all over the world" lol they never did, try again

Deployment =/= occupation, citing Cuba is especially laughable seeing as how they explicitly invited the Soviets specifically to counter the threat of the US, and it worked
