And it is not just us they are doing this with, anyone with an ax to grind against Americas "global community " .
Another factor may be that the fact we did not ditch Russia at the west's behest.
You can see a pattern of how we deal with china . Only when they needle us do we respond not because the US said so . Small example.. India diplo boycotted the winter Olympics cause the chines chose to troll us using the Olympics platform not in solidarity with muh democratic states or whatever.
