Thank you for your detailed commentary. Just common sense and historical logic tells us that it is more profitable for the US and Russia to be allies like during the Civil War, WWI or WWII. Today our common adversaries such as China are happily watching the current confrontation and war in the heart of Europe (Ukraine) counting profits and supplying their economies with cheap Russian energy resources. This cannot go on forever unless we want a new world order dominated by the Global South. It will be very far from Yalta and Potsdam system that Putin is desperately trying to restore.
