However from a geopolitical basis, is cooperation with Russia really a bad thing? Do they really need to be the US's mortal enemy? Seems kinda silly when you could just gang up and own the world. Perhaps that's not possible without sacrificing Europe though...

The problem is simply the fact that Putin and the oligarchs run that nation, the corruption and danger they pose to their neighbors and the rest of the world makes any relationship with Russia other than being tough on them absurd.
We have to hit them where it will destabilize Putin's grip on power, and that is his Oligarchs and the Russian economy. Its a pretty tiny economy, and his updating his army and nukes is actually going to be another nail in the coffin for this regime.
Its nice to finally see North American's realize just how dangerous Putin is, this has been pretty common knowledge by the EU and the baltics for well over a decade.
