If the US with Trump manages to somehow align with Russia
I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but I have a hard time seeing the point in Russia doing this, even from a cynical purely self-interest way of thinking. Making peace deals is one thing, under the right conditions, but this whole campaign of an unnecessary war has been the fault of NATO and the western empire creating a problem and forcing an issue on Russia’s borders, effectively warring with Russia by proxy. Not only that, the Trumpian faction is uniquely despised even within the US by the liberal camp and there’s a lot of lingering red scare hatred of Russia and newer hatred of Russia from propaganda relating to the issue with Ukraine. So normalizing relations would look like… what exactly? I know Russia isn’t exactly a bastion of socialism at this point, but they gotta have some self respect that pretending the western empire wouldn’t try to screw them this time is beyond absurd.
