Putin plays all sides when it suits him.
While sometimes that tactic has short term benefits, it can also bite you long term.
But most Putinboos really claim Putin is some holy man fighting for the good of the right, not just a temporary ally of convenience.
Alliances of the present address the needs of the present. The Allies sent the USSR tons of military aid during WWII, knowing full well that a conflict with the Soviets was possible or even likely.
Certainly isn’t something Putin seems to understand. What with him allowing China to buy up Russian industry out of an irrational fear of NATO.
