All true, but there is a nuance. The US will not attack a degraded Russia, because.. It is already being slowly swallowed up by China. Russia is just a bargaining chip in the big geopolitical game of the two major powers. And believe me - for the United States, some kind of counterbalance is always needed: this holds back both sides, and it is beneficial for the United States itself - there is always someone to "write off the budget" to. Think a little wider than populist slogans!
Btw you can see the better side and give us a little bit of security. I mean it is true that the United States needs a balance and at the same time becomes a political cycle that is quite hot so that all sides will be very clearly divided. Team A and camp B showed themselves in their respective lines. In addition to geopolitical counterweights, of course this is also tied to how the world economy works. The US will continue to be a competitor that is always a reference for Russia and China, so that it has indirectly shown that US power is not really easy to get rid of in terms of world economic control.
