Russia may not be our friend, but they are not the enemy.
I do think Bush and Putin have some behind the scene agreements and cooperation.
But I wouldn't trust China, and a lot of S. American countries.
About 3-4 months before 9/11 Russia & China signed a military alliance. Just before and during 9/11 Russia was conducting bomber exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, near the US and also in the Artic. These bombers had added fuel capacity. After the 9/11 attack, President Bush called Putin and told him to cancel the exercise. He did. However, what if the 9/11 attacks were successful in decapitating our government? Do you think Putin would have stilled cancel the nuclear bomber exercise or gone for the kill?
