Its the old domino theory with modern finance tactics. Russia has developed some strong alliances with countries that were not generally considered russian allies in the past such as north korea and india.  Russia also maintains influence over many other countries because of their cheap oil. the US on the other hand has lost considerable influence in the world especially under the biden administration. you sound like you're stuck in the traditional hate the United States foreign policy positions that were more relevant a few decades ago.you may want to step away from those bashes and take a fresh look at world events. the landscape has changed.</blockquote>
