Yes, because they got along which means each of them would be hoping to better the other diplomatically. When a blow hard donkey arrives, a wtf attitude results. In other words, the USA hates us anyway so no point wasting time with diplomacy. Putin invades Ukraine (why not?) and is forming alliance with China and Iran instead. Great work guys. We were much safer not having a power with supersonic nukes as an enemy. But I guess that natural gas from Russia that was lost (when Putin blew up his own pipeline, lmfao and roll my eyes to the heavens)can be replaced by good old American LNG. Maybe it was all worth it eh?
