Imagine you and your friend consider yourselves bff and you tell each other all your secrets. Days later you find out he was developing and used a Nuclear Weapon and god knows what else. Would you still trust him? He does everything to stop you from making friendships and launch global proxy wars in countries that are friend of yours.

LMAO!  When the hell did Russia / the USSR and the United States EVER consider each other to be "bffs"???  It just so happened that the US and Russia ended up having a mutual enemy during WWII in Nazi Germany, but for different reasons.  Germany attacked the US's allies in Western Europe, and they began extending their reach to Eastern Europe and parts of Russia as well, essentially making the same mistake as Napoleon did.

Ever since the revolution of 1917, Russia and the US had complete political and ideological differences with one another, and this came to a climax post-WWII when they were the only two "superpowers", and both tried to impose their will and vision on as much of the world as possible.

I said bff because they traded military secrets and other sensitive information that US wouldn't do with other enemy countries. Russia put everything into WW2, unlike US. They didn't hide anything maybe they're the ones that thought US was their bff.
