Trump has given him the arctic. That is more important to Putin.Pentagon considers Japan to be the UK of the Pacific Asia. That is, the island nation of UK off the continent is the number one US historical ally in Atlantic-Europe-Eurasia. Japan now is the strongest US ally for Pacific-East Asia-India. Indeed, everything going on there the past two years is based on the strength and vision of SecDef James Mattis. Governments and populations throughout the Pacific-Asia region know this.
And now so does Russia concerning its Far East too in addition to Europe and Nato in the West. Mattis is pinching Russia from the East now and standing by Japan simultaneously. Russia and China continue to act separately in the national interest of each only.

The U.S. military has sent a message to Russia by sailing through a disputed waterway near Japan. The move came only a week after China mobilized its own vessels in response to a perceived transgression by the Navy.
Last week, the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville, traveled near the contested Paracel Islands, one of several land formations in the South China Sea that Beijing has been accused of militarizing. Two days later, Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Stockdale and Henry J. Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler USNS Pecos sailed through the Taiwan Strait.
In response, Chinese Southern Theater Command spokesperson Colonel Li Huamin told reporters Saturday that the military had mobilized air and sea forces to warn the USS Chancellorsville to leave and Chinese forces reportedly stepped up their own patrols in the Taiwan Strait. That same day, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Colonel Ren Guoqiang warned that "the Chinese military will remain on high alert and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Just as the U.S. disputes Russia's claims in northeast Asia, it also contests vast Chinese claims to the South China Sea, where Navy "freedom of navigation" operations have stirred serious tensions in recent years. China maintains overlapping claims with Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam and does not recognize Taiwan.

So Putin's not getting his return on his investment in Donald Trump. Quite the opposite in fact in military and strategic theater operations. Good on Mattis for it and to the Joint Chiefs who support him fully.
