It's complicated. Some countries are allied in one aspect, and bitter enemies in another. For example, the US and Russia are military and world-power rivals, but frequently cooperate in scientific endeavors like the ISS, and conduct plenty of resource trading, like oil and minerals.

Or at least they did for a while. Russia invading Ukraine hampered that a bit.

It's changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.
