After 9/11, Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call President Bush and offer support. Russia supported United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1368, 1373 and 1386. Russia shared intelligence with the US, provided diplomatic help and gave overflight clearance.

Russia opened its own airspace for US military flights and negotiated the opening of Central Asian countries' airspace for the US. Russia encouraged Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to open access to military bases for the US. Russia started giving more active support to the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, including the crucial Northern Distribution Network.

Russia allowed for a NATO transit hub in Ulyanovsk. Russia gave Mi-17 helicopters to the Afghan Air Force during US occupation. Russia even closed its SIGNIT sites in Cuba and Vietnam as a "goodwill gesture".

There were several NATO–Russia Council projects with actual real-world impact, including joint counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism ops in Central Asia & Afghanistan. Russian intelligence sharing warned the US of Tamerlan Tsarnaev years before the terrorist attack in Boston.

Russia supported the US invasion of Afghanistan and continued providing intelligence and logistics support for the ISAF mission even after the invasion of Iraq, which Russia opposed. It's crazy to think about how Putin bent over backwards to build a productive relationship with the US, even at the cost of its own security and international reputation, and even tolerating things like US support for Chechen terrorists just for the sake of peace and global stability.

All completely in vain. If you listen to the average American nowadays, Russia did 9/11 and created ISIS and Putin personally carried every cartel sicario and every fentanyl pill into the US in his own arms. Tens of thousands of Russian soldiers lie dead, killed by America for no real reason and America is actively trying to destroy Russia - same as always. No good deed, man. No good deed.

Forgot to mention that the US has been allied to the perpetrators of 9/11 for over a decade now while Russia keeps fighting them to this day
