US is not really withdrawing, just restructuring\diversifying its investments so to say, from guys like EU to guys like Milei/Netanyahu/Putin, which is not really new for US foreign policy.

It’s what Russia does that has cost it even dictatorships from among its former allies, but their strategy is based on “there’s no other place for them to go”, with Armenia and Georgia this is correct (despite all the pretentious words neither got hard backing from the west), with Central Asian nations not really, with Ukraine undecided.

The obvious difference - US really is what thieving jerks in charge of Russia pretend to be. What Russia can’t do, It can.
