You still don't get the point, Russia was not & will never be friends with the US at least not with the this kind of Governments, your Opinion is obviously "Pre-Arab Spring", you need to refresh your logic.

1 Week ago Russia & Bulgaria signed a deal for a huge Gas Pipe project after the Bulgarian Government has rejected the US deal which was postponed until the fall of "Syria", which was expected more than 7 months ago, and they couldn't wait any longer, so they had to accept the other deal, which is combined cooperation between (Russia - Iran - Iraq - Syria & Lebanon).

Which pissed off the US, especially during this tough time (Economically).

Which has lead the US to increase it's Hostility to the Syrian Government by Sending weapons & military experts to the Armed terrorists (FSA), to punish the Syrian Government & at the same time to tarnish the president's & Russia's reputation around the world by calling them "dictators & against the human rights" when Susan rice said in the security council & I quote "Let the world know those who stand for Democracy & Freedom & those who don't" after the Russian, Chinese Veto" which started the so called "Riot" against president Putin (Which was completely financed by the CIA).
