At times like these, I like to remind people that Russia was our
bitter enemy before WW II, was our ally during WW II, and was our
bitter enemy after WW II.
The thing about Russia is that the enmity is all political. The
ethnic Russian people love the West and hate the Chinese and the Sunni
Muslims. This is what really counts during a generational Crisis era.
However, the scenario that will bring all this about can't be
predicted. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've been personally
astonished to watch these alliances form in the last couple of years.
