The US is not perfect. I believe it is on the verge of a civil war, and both major parties should be destroyed. JMO though. The US as imperfect as it is, is still better than Russia. I would debate that Ukraine is safer than Russia. In Ukraine I have never had any issues with personal security, in Russia I have bodyguards everywhere I go. I have never had a problem in business in Ukraine, in Russia nothing but problems.
Every country has its problems democratic or not. That said, the main issue here is that every country has an absolute right to settle their own problems and not be invaded by any other country who thinks they should be able to solve the problems for them. If all nations claimed the "Peter The Great" mentality Putin is espousing then we would all constantly be at war. Past performance is not a solid indication of future performance and this is what we are seeing with the war in Ukraine.
