They are, indeed, our enemy.
If only the Democrats would have discovered that many years ago...
I tend to think that you are correct here. I would really prefer that President Trump would not cozy up so closely to an autocrat--and a murderous one, at that.
But I do understand his reasoning here (as I have noted previously).
What Nikita Khrushchev uttered some 62 ago (actually, he died in 1971--and spoke these words considerably before that, even) is not really relevant.
Thanks to the policies of Ronald Reagan, it was the former Soviet Union--now Russia--that was defeated. And thoroughly.
It is only in a military sense that Russia may have rough parity with the US. In an economic sense, it is...well a basket case.

Another quote function failure. How effing hard can it be?

Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of my lifetime. I stood five feet from the man on two occasions.
