Russia's losses during WWII had nothing to do with "stomach" and everything to do with proximity. Russia lost a lot of territory to the Nazis in the beginning and had entire regions laid to waste through bombing, artillery, and general fighting. If the Nazis invaded NYC or DC or Miami in the 1940s we would have lost millions also.
As for the United States fighting Russia.... Russia doesn't even have a blue water navy and their air force doesn't seem to be too impressive either. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they have a huge lack of funding and haven't invested much into their military. This doesn't mention the fact that if the US and Russia do end up at war, Russia's entire Western border would be suspect to NATO attacks...
