Not surprising , It’s in Putin’s interest to create havoc and instability in Central/South America as we basically are completely holding Ukraine together through financial and military assistance.
Perhaps if we would have treated Russia as a potential friend since the mid-90s (Trump’s was an exception) and not an enemy they would be helping us now.
Just one article that more or less says we could have had a stronger relationship with Russia:

And another

Of course that’s history now as they say.
And what, just let him invade and subjugate another country? Our opposition to Russia is directly related to its actions. If Russia wants us to treat it peacefully it should act peacefully.
