I want the US and Russia to become close allies. I would prefer a US-Russia alliance to a US-Western European alliance.

At this point in time, I agree. They're no longer the evil empire of old.

The US and Russia should only cooperate where both nations have common interests, not alliances.

Elsewhere they should be strong competitors.

That way, both nations earn their way and improve themselves.

The same policy should apply to Western and Eastern Europe, common interests, not alliances.

Currently, the US has few common interests with Europe and slightly more with the Russian Federation.
