I tell you, if Russia and America EVER had a successful partnership , gg 'new world order' it's over because Russia just seems to have some of the craziest bastards, it's like a country of Florida men. Combine that with American military hardware and they'd be no stopping that.
I've still never understood why after the fall of the USSR we didn't strive to make a stronger partnership with Russia.
The only reason we seem to not is because our "allies" have good reasons to not, but then are any of our European "allies" actually providing any worth back besides "barrier from Russia?" Most of them had a hissy fit when Trump dared to ask them to pay closer to their fair share for defense.
We actually did, but our solution was to put in a drunk puppet like Yeltsin, and just pretend that the rampant crime and economic depression was perfectly acceptable because Neo-Liberal economics, bro. The people in charge of this effort were the same globalist WEF retards we have right now. Putin was literally a member of the WEF.
Putin was hand-picked to replace Yeltsin because they thought he would be less personally corrupt and stupid, especially after the 1998 crash, and the systemic bank failures in the early 2000's. The elites want leaders corrupt and stupid, only such that the corruption keeps them in line enough to keep sending them money. It seemed like most of his life had been being a quiet analyst that wouldn't do anything crazy...
Instead, he recognized that they were the problem, betrayed them, assassinated their agents, imprisoned their vassals, and went fully rogue. They never forgave him for that, and have wanted some kind of regime change ever since.
A modern Russia with a competent military and strong economy has been the bugaboo of Western Europe since at least the 1800s.
Part of why World War I happened was the fear that Russia would eclipse Germany in the next decade or two, which seems utterly ridiculous in hindsight.
Honestly, genuinely, this should have been the primary driver going forward; especially after the fall of Communism. From a geopolitical standpoint, our failure to negotiate friendly relations with Russia is the greatest diplomatic failure of the 21st century so far. The Europeans were terrified of an Ameri-Russo Alliance before WW1 & the British "Special Relationship". It was abundantly clear, even by 1880, that the Americans and Russians would be industrial super-powers that couldn't be contended or countered by the likes of France, Britain, or the rising Germany. If any of those nations wanted to stand a chance at defending their power from either group, something diplomatically would have to be done.
Bismark spent the majority of his time destroying France diplomatically, but the other portion of his time, but before WW1 there were major attempts to ally Germany with Russia that completely fell through. Meanwhile, the British quickly realized the insurmountable power of the American fleets, and new something had to be done to keep the US from going to war with them. At last count, they had fought two wars with the US, and hadn't won either of them, at a time when America didn't even have a fucking steam engine. The French were all over the place, and shit up chances of allying with America and Russia in the past century, and right up to the August Crisis.
If we had made any real attempt at making major overtures to Russia prior to WW1 we probably could have prevented both World Wars and the Cold War. Instead of recognizing the value of an Ameri-Russo Alliance as a massive counter to China, we're shitting it up so that members of the Deep State can make boat payments at the cost of 300,000 Ukranian lives.

Because our technocrat overlords supported and profited the the people who were looting Russia.
When Putin cut off their gravy train that cemented their hatred for him.
Ever notice how "enemy" countries, according to our media, are the ones that don't have buttsex parades?
I heard some opinions while watching the Duran. About how the us wanted Russia split up and have their resources opened for American companies.
After all, Russia is just a gas station with nukes right?

Isn’t it just the military industrial complex thirsty for war money?
Africa, the Middle East, and China will always provide plenty of that. As would Eastern Europe probably if we were on Russia's side more.
We need an enemy to keep fighting endless wars against.

Yep, that's the britbongs and the frogs teamed up with the heathen turkroaches to fight against the russkies in Crimea back in the late 19th century.
