The US strategy is simple
We are being led by a Russian asset who has surrounded himself with sycophants.
If you want to know EXACTLY what Trump is going to do in any situation, just ask yourself how much of Putin’s agenda can he get away with and you will be right 100% of the time.
I'd wager the Arab League (Saudi Arabia, Qatar the jet bringer, etc.) has a lot more influence than Russia. Seriously, it's pretty obvious, they are not hiding it. Russia is, if anything, a diversion at best.
It's not that he won't take money from Russia, it's just that the League has so much more to "donate". Russian oligarchs are comparatively small potatoes.
No, I don't think this explains it in this case.
Russia heavily relies on the export of fossil fuels, so they will lose a lot in the long run following the US's surprising violent push for fostering world-wide use of green energy.
I’m a little confused
Trump is paying billions of dollars (of our money) to get wind projects currently under construction to stop
He has killed all of the government subsidies available for him to kill that support EVs and green energy
It's confusing because you're looking for some logic or rationale. It stops being confusing when you realize Trump is an idiot who does what he wants without any consideration for any bigger picture and he's easily impressionable which makes it easy to manipulate what he "wants" to do.
There is no logic here, there's only a moron with too much power.
