Has Vlad actually been able to peel the French and Germans from their alliances with America? I doubt it.

Of course when it comes to Ukraine/Russia Fareed sees only mischief from Russia and nothing from the other side.

Not peel off. However there is an underlying mistrust between Merkel and the
Americans. Her phone was bugged, she is an East German, she speaks Russian, Putin was once stationed in East Germany.

Germany and France more than the Americans need an economically positive Russia.
