Sorry. I ain’t buyin’ it lock stock and barrel. It’s closer to the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Trust but verify also comes to mind. You think Putin doesn’t want to reconstitute the USSR—the countries - not the system?

Even our allies ain’t exactly true allies. I don’t trust Putin or them.

This America, the land of the free. You ain't gotta buy anything you don't wanna buy.

'Cept car insurance....and health insurance....maybe masks....Well, almost nothing.

But to the point, nobody is saying we got to cuddle up in the sack with Pooty Poot. In MAGA world, America is America and Russia is Russia (nationalistic), but there will always be a traditional rivalry and conflict.

HOWEVER, in order to MAINTAIN sovereignty, the derp state must be resisted. In THIS endeavor, America (Trump) and Russia (Putin) are of one mind and allied.

If the derps were annihilated and taken off the board, we would get back to business as usual, scrapping for world dominance.

This is the way of it, and it is known.
