To carry the speculation further, maybe Putin is really on our side, he is just our mole in the Axis of Weasels.
I think Putin is smart and pragmatic, he knows that an alliance with us is a winning solution for Russia, while he won't get anything from France.
But also remember, that Clinton was not able to form any relationship with Putin, mostly, because Putin knew that Clinton was a flake and couldn't be counted on to keep his word.
Putin, naturally is not going to do everything at once, but I think, that when he and Bush agreed to scrap the ABM treaty, that was a major concession from his viewpoint.

At best the Russians are just jealous of us, at worst they would still like to bury us. The truth is probably somewhere in between, I will never trust those bastards.

Mr. Shaw said he believes that the withdrawal of Russian-made weapons and explosives from Iraq was part of plan by Saddam to set up a "redoubt" in Syria that could be used as a base for launching pro-Saddam insurgency operations in Iraq.

maybe Putin is really on our side, he is just our mole in the Axis of Weasels. Yet another thought I have considered.
