Talk about choosing the wrong side of history. Putin, ex KGB who's stayed in power by eliminating the opposition backed by N.Korea and Iran and who sees himself as a modern day Peter the Great with a mission to reclaim the Russian Empire (Ukraine wouldn't exist anymore) or your traditional Allies with whom you have deep ties; military exercises, intelsharing, the list is long.
The Kremlin can't believe their luck.
And now he's under Musk's influence as well. No, it's gone too far. The USA shouldn't have come to this. It's being led by a felon in yellow make-up. Times are strange.
