Russia has been openly attacking the US, not by military means, but still. Do you really think the former presidents Obama and Biden would tell you that Russia isn't waging a war against the US?

Hearing on the Internet that the US needs, according to your assessment, an impotent Russia as ally to fight China does not make it so either. But I get it, it's a very popular claim in certain circles on the Internet right now. You can almost tell where it's coming from. You know from whom I've never heard such a fantastic idea? Actual defense experts.
