The Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is gone. The Warsaw Pact is gone. Russia today has a smaller share of their GDP under government control that us (before the war)! Russia is not an atheist communist single party system.
For the US, the Cold War and past largely defines the present, even if the entire foundation has changed. It's bureaucratically institutionalized and culturally inculcated.
India today purchases many of their weapons systems from the West (US, France, UK). We try hard to sell our systems there because India is ((NOT))) block aligned with Russia.
India is fairly significant economically:

As we push, instead of India distancing themselves from Russia which some here hope, they may very likely align with Russia. That is a real possibility.
