I get why they're doing this, and one has to try...but they are dealing with a drug-abusing technofascist. It means: he will always admire Russia because of their fascism. They don't respect anyone else.
The US hasn't crossed the red line by openly supporting Russia via weapons transfers. The US administration and their oligarch friends know how immensely unpopular that would be amongst the majority of US citizens. But they'll do everything up to that red line. For now.
