If we can align with the backwards middle eastern countries then we can align with Russia. Working with them has worked in the past. We also have an growing German problem that needs addressed.
I am not holding Russia to anything different than I would hold any other country. If you get caught involved in espionage activities, there are repercussions. Our current POTUS has shown signs of backing out of the repercussions the previous POTUS made happen, that is a sign of weakness. Everyone spies on everyone else, even friendly nations. But when you get caught things have to happen or you are made to look the fool.
