I guess I wasn't clear, collaborating academically, not politically or militarily.

I know, but given the current political situation and sanctions I'm not sure even an academic collaboration is on the table for most Western-aligned nations right now.

I understand that but this is just a continuation of politics stifling research. Now we have the internet and can share ideas more to a certain extent. I'm not saying we can discount the political climate entirely but it's extremely damaging to discount a technology because it was developed by an ideological(or existential) enemy. Nazi technology did take us to the moon after all, as despicable as their research practices were.
