The US economy might actually make a huge growth swing if Trump cozies up to Russia and get cheap oil and starts selling arms to both sides.

Americans would feel good about it, but at what cost?

That would be a faustian bargain to where we would have to pay in various ways and it would not be beneficial in the long run.  It's better to keep your nose clean and transact without underhanded dealings.  

We don't exactly have a great record when it comes to Middle Eastern oil. And to be honest, the Gulf oil industry in Texas and Louisiana isn't exactly known for being ethical in its dealings with the American people.
