It's about time leaders like Poutine take decisive steps to strengthen alliances with countries like Vietnam and North Korea. The West, especially the U.S., needs to realize that they can't dictate international relations according to their whims. Poutine's actions demonstrate a commendable effort to secure and advance national interests in the face of foreign pressure.
