It is somewhat tacitly assumed that "improving relations" with bad actors validates their bad behavior. This should be obvious, not obtuse...

It is how those relations are achieved and what they mean. Should we have overlooked Russia's invasion of the Ukraine, or their hegemony in Syria? Should we overlook their dictatorship? < <For my part I don't understand why improved relations with Russia is bad under any administration, or why improved relations with any country on the planet would be bad. I have no love for Putin or any extremely aggressive leader but maybe you can explain for me why improving relations would be a bad thing.
