What socialists are saying is that Russia and the US are actually what they say the are: in opposition to each other. Liberals are the weird conspiracy theorists who believe that the Republican party is full of secret Russian traitors. At best, one may say that the GOP is more hostile to Europe than the liberals, which inevitably leads to Russia being in a stronger position with Europe left to fend for themselves (which the GOP is only comfortable with insofar as they can get Russia to split from China), while the liberal strategy has been to isolate Russia and drive them closer to China but hope that Europe is a strong enough ally to beat both.
