The former is correct, not the latter part. It's just unfortunate for Pakistan and U.S. to have different national interests. We wanted to be neutral and have good relations with both China and West. But when one warmly embraces and understands you while the other shuns you away and pick your archrival (India) as their favorite, it is natural to become closer to the one you get along with.
What about Russia?
As much as I know, there has been a slight warming of relations with Russia of recent. Though there are some issues. Russia is still a major arms supplier to your arch-nemesis, and Russia didn't like the fact that your intelligence services supported militant activities in the caucuses (perhaps you'll disagree, but that's what the Russians think of you anyway, it's them you want to persuade)
But that won't stop them from selling military equipment to you or work with you in Afghanistan. Though they tend to target countries that can afford very large defence contracts.
