Let me have a go at objectively explaining the difference: America has a lot more political clout than Russia.

Under Putin, Russia's soft power has been decimated and they are left with misinformation, violence and resource starvation as their main tools to make others comply. A government like that will face much stronger pushback than a nation like America.

America is rightly criticized for its wars and its mistreatment of countries like Palestine but it has the political clout to absorb those criticisms and slow down their effect. When the criticisms eventually mount the government is forced to make changes, but this is slowed by soft power.
