Simply the fact that US cities got murked also. 30 million dead in NY, LA, Chicago, etc. So while Russia can blame the US for the Moscow deaths, and will...a god freak walking around killing millions is a much bigger fish to fry. Because remember, as far as they know Dr. Manhattan isn't finished (same with the squid incident) and can attack a random city at any time in any country. Would Russian politics ramp up the jingoism high and then ask for the US's help to defend against future Dr.Manhattan attacks. They wouldn't...they would be forced to ask for help.
