Ruto thinks he is riding high and mighty because of his cozy relationship with the Americans. He needs to remember Saddam Hussein, the Shah of Iran, Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro, and Osama Bin Ladin just to name a few were all once darlings of the United States.
They don't have much to get from Kenya coz there's no oil unlike Gabon, Niger with oil and uranium. Stability though is useful to em esp when neighbors are not guaranteed to be stable except TZ.
Ruto is getting stronger and stronger. Give him ten years and see transformation.
