You can believe whatever you want.
There is ZERO evidence to support your point of view.
NATO (led by the United States) has stationed 2,700 hummers, main battle tanks, howitzers, etc. in Poland and the Baltic countries.
President Trump imposed additional economic sanctions on Russia.
President Trump labeled China and Russia as strategic competitors.
I don't see a US-Russia rapprochement, because the US demands that Russia leave the Crimea, Georgian provinces, and Ukrainian provinces.
I don't think Putin will comply with US demands.
However, if you want to keep believing in your fairy-tale US-Russia alliance then it's your prerogative. It has no relationship to the real world, but you are free to believe whatever delusions that you want.

Donald Trump frames Russia and China as 'competitors' in new America First security strategy | The Telegraph (December 18, 2017)
"Donald Trump has outlined a new Cold War-style approach to US foreign policy by framing Russia and China as competitors and stressing the importance of nuclear weapons."
Balance of power, and US has been at this for decades. There are already US advisory bodies calling out China as the primary threat, not Russia. There is very little chance that the US would still not adjust that trilateral relationship by the time China surpassed it militarily. Another Nixon is just around the corner. The only thing that would delay such shift is China's attitude towards Russia. Remember, nations are driven by interests. While it will take some time before the perception of Russia being the primary threat changes, that is all but inevitable. We'll see that play out in the next decade.
