Before the Olympics they settled their border issues. There still can be betrayal but they have chosen to trust each other.
Trump tried to build on the Russian fear. But I think it is too late. Russia wanted to be part of Europe but since the start, Europe is stalling. E.g. chancellor Kohl’s notes show that many empty promises were made. Russia has moved on.
In my opinion, that was bad judgement years ago. Europe and the USA must have thought that they don’t need Russia to contain China. Now we struggle to stay ahead.
