I can't think of any nations that Russia can trust really.
In vain, my friend. In Russia, people and the state are idealists. We believe in sincere friendship and are ready to give a lot. This applies to both people and the state. We are often betrayed. Russians, if betrayed, become extremely radical and inflexible. The state ... is more complicated. There is a policy and geopolitics. But in any case, the betrayal will be taken into account and will always be remembered. As about sincere friendship.

Twice in history the UK and Russia have gone to war face to face and come out of that wars brothers in arms , it is only 10+ years since we paid of the WW2 bill for the weapons we shipped to Russia .
And we shipped the Rolls Royce engine for the first mig to Russia to level the field long ago , now Russia builds the best
Ditto the rest of our Tech over the years from trains to planes worldwide .
Russia is prepared for a fight both those D.UMBS built years ago which are 400+ miles square each are stocked , we have budget cuts and sell offs
It was game over for the west when Richard Nixon shook hands with Chinas Mao back in the day
The Russians and Chinese play a long game of chess like in the film revolver , we feed them the pieces and they gladly accept always smiling

Way to many countries with nukes and big populations are prepared to go to war and loose 50+ million ,India,Pakistan China .
If the Scottish ever get independence they will have the biggest party on the planet , then one of them will get their hands on the nukes and decide to have the biggest fire works party on the planet but with nukes and everyones invited ps the code is 11111111
