This might be collision of terms we use. I understand "boogeyman" to mean an intentionally vague entity that is used to scare people into submission. This is how I see Russia being perceived, although... ...this exposes my bias. I don't get to see Americans: only what they get to see on screens and in the papers. How relative is public interest and political activity of the Russia/Trump scandal for an Average Standard American?Russia is a near-peer military threat, so it has to be a boogeyman.
I encourage you not to associate American political and media agendas with the global outlook of American citizens.
